So Long Little Love Bug

I had to say goodbye to dear little Fergus this afternoon. He and Porter are going in tomorrow morning for surgery , and I'll be heading out of town for the weekend. He'll be going to his new home this weekend, so he'll be gone when I return. Kim will be shuttling him to Met Vet and back and will be handling the adoption as well.

It was hard saying goodbye to him. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, he's the most affectionate kitten I have ever met. I sure will miss him. Charlene seemed to be extra fond of him. I know she'll miss him as well.

Lucky for him, his new mom works from home. She'll be able to give him lots of love through out the day. Lucky for mom, she'll be adopting a kitten who loves love so much! He'll have a big brother cat named "Mushroom" and a daddy to love him as well. I am sure he'll be as happy as can be with his new family.

So yes,, I am gone for the weekend. We're going to Sin City to celebrate one of those horrible birthdays that ends in a zero. I am leaving my laptop behind, so please don't expect any posts from the road.

When I get back,, I'll have lots of new kitty pics to post. I was a little snap happy with the camera today. Dearest Craig gave me a fabulous new camera lens for my birthday. It's going to make taking pictures of kittens in low light much, much easier. I am so excited about it !!

I'll leave you with a bonus picture of Porter to get you through the long weekend. If you need a kitten fix, pop on over to my cousin Wendy's blog to see what her babies are up to.

  3. A very happy birthday to you Laurie!! Remember, getting older beats the alternative.

    Congratulations to lovey Fergus and his new family. Our two boys were fostered, and they're as sweet as can be ... with just the right amount of naughty.

    A great big thanks to all of you involved in caring for these precious Itty Bittys.

  8. Happy B'day! Enjoy the bright lights :-)

    *snif* for saying goodbye to the last of the Mayfields, but I agree with Sarah: it's great that they're all going to loving homes with doting new parents.

    Can't wait to meet the next batch!

  11. I would be remiss if I did not comment here on the beautiful bonus picture of PRECIOUS Porter, my serious little heartthrob of an IBK. He looks like such an old soul. Not much more time now for me to continue to be an idiot over him.
