The Message

We thought our family might be expanding again when Sebastian and Reilly's new mom emailed saying they needed to give them back due to the fact that her husband is getting laid off from work soon. We made plans to meet next weekend to pick them up and bring them back home. However, the next day she emailed again saying they'd decided to keep them, they love them and when they adopted them, it was for forever. We are so happy because the boys seem very happy with them and they email me updates weekly. It's just a very scary and uncertain time for their family right now.

Dixie Dog got a new bed over the weekend. Maizy is even letting her sleep in this one a little bit.

We would like to thank our great friend, Marg for this awesome award. Thanks Marg, we will proudly display it in our trophy room!! If you haven't met Marg and her pets yet, please do so. Marg is a fellow rescuer who does wonderful work in her community! We would like to pass this along to all of our friends because we think all of your blogs are the best!

I am glad that the adopters decided on keeping the bos. It's true, adoption is forever!

Hurray that Sebastian and Reilly get to stay in their FOREVER home! It's scary to humans when they don't have jobs, they need lots of purrs.

We like Dixie Dog's new bed...it looks comfy.

Bruce said...

Yes, it is a hard time for everyone but having a pet is such a comfort that if you can find a way to keep it, you're definitely going to win in the long run. Congratulations on your award!
your pal,

We are glad that Sebastian and Reilly get to stay in their new home too. We will add their family to our purrs. So many people are out of work, it is so scary.

That looks like a great bed that Dixie got...we hope she gets to sleep on it lots more!

SeaThreePeeO said...

Our dad has been made redundant from his job twice this year, so we know just how scary things can be.

Congrats on your award!

Lisa Wallace + current cat said...

We're glad the kitties are staying in their forever home, just like us. Regarding the bed, sometimes we let Mom have hers. But she has to share. And cats need lots of room to stretch out.

Sadly, so many pets are being "given up" because of the economic situation. We're so thankful that we've been blessed with so much.

Cheyenne -Millie said...

We are sorry that you didn't get any turkey! That is sad!

Shelly said...

I'm so happy that Sebastian and Reilly get to stay in their new home. I hope all goes well for them and their people. I like Dixie's new bed. It looks like Ginger's and she loves it!

Angel, Kirby and Max said...

It is so hard for families now and especially at the holiday season. We are glad they took their commitment to Sebastian and Reilly seriously. But is it good to know that you are there if things get really bad for them.

BeadedTail said...

We're so glad to hear that Sebastian and Reilly's beans love them so much and want to keep them in their family during this difficult time with their dad's job. It makes us sad when people have to give up their pets since it's tramatic on efurryone.

Dixie Dog's new bed looks very comfy! It's nice of Maizy to try it out for her!

Congrats on your award!

Milo and Alfie said...

The poor family. That is very scary. And so close to Christmas too. We're sure they can make it though. Of course two kitties cost some money, but surely Sebastian and Reilly would give up on treats and new toys for some time to keep their forever home. Best of luck to them!
Purrs, Siena & Chilli

In today's day and age, it is very scary with the economy. Our beans are VERY grateful that they have empolyment, even though they may bi*ch about it at times. We are glad to hear that they are keeping the kitties, and deep down they know that if dire straits happen, you'll always take them back. Lovin' the new bed! BTW...your Christmas card is going out tomorrow! ;o)

Daisy said...

Marg is nice. Congratulations on your award! And I am glad that little Sebastian and Reilly get to stay with their new family.

It's so hard and scary for so many families out there, but I'm glad that Sebastian and Reilly's humans are hanging in there with them! I hope things improve for them soon.

P.S. I got my Secret Paws match up too.

We're happy that Sebastian and Reilly will be staying in their new home, and hope the man bean will find a new job soon. It's good that you guys were willing to take them back, though, you're good people!

love to hear the happy stories about the furries that find a forever home. I could listen to all stories all the day long.
Congrats on your award. So deserving, I will head over and meet Marg.
My mom is going to shop this week for my secret paw gift and try to get it in the mail. She cannot find where we sent you our mailing infomration and ideas for me, did you get it? I would fire her as a secretary but then I would have no one to help me out. Oh well.

Angel Gracie=^o.o^= said...

OHHHHHHHHHHHHnooooooooooo, the mom has goofed again! I would fire her but then I would have no help at all. I did receive information on my secret paw. I will have her soon to send you an email on the information you need from me. Can you email me to refresh her memory???? Sorry for the mix up.
