It has been an emotional roller coaster in our home the last few weeks. We went from having two pets to one, to none, and now back to one. We had to make the tough decision to put down Carley down, she had been suffering with kidney and bladder issues for almost a year and was in a lot of pain. Her sister Chloe, had been following suit and peeing outside the box along with Carley. After Carley was gone, Chloe continued to go out of the box and was even finding new spots. She favored our NEW carpet. We had to make the decision to find her a new home. It was gut wrenching, however, we could not continue to cut out carpet where she was going. We have some friends that live in the country and they were willing to take her. She seems to be doing well.
After much praying and a lot of tears, we decided to get another kitten. The girls had asked of course, after we put Carley down if we could get another. We had told them soon. Our house was so quiet, even those few days after Carley was gone, and especially after we dropped Chloe off. We knew that now, while I was home for the summer, was the time to train a new kitten. We knew that once I went back to work, things would get crazy again, with school and activities.
We looked at a local shelter and found a darling little kitten. Then I called our vets office about something and she told me they had MANY kittens and they were a quite a bit less than the shelter. We went and looked, that is when we found HIM! We knew he was ours when we saw his birthday, he shares the same birthday as BRENT! And the fact that it's a male, the little boy Brent never had. The girls choose the name Oliver. He is sweet, very vocal and purrs a lot! He is SO small.
This is Oliver & his food bowls, to give you an idea of how SMALL he is!
He will ever REPLACE our girls, but he will help heal our hearts.
Happy 4th of July!
