The Top Ten!

Today we have the final installment of our fifty most popular IBKC posts.

Wylla kind of dominates our top ten. I suppose of all the kitten stories we've told, she's had one of the more interesting tales.  I think we all just got pretty invested in the girl, so her posts always got lots of comments, questions, and concerns.

And you'll see a lot of our sadder moments, too.  I was hoping they wouldn't all fall towards the top, but they did.  Even though they do stir up some tears, it's not a bad thing to read those again. It's good to see the nice, comforting words, and I like seeing our community coming together.

I had a great time revisiting some of these most memorable of our memories. I hope you enjoyed our top fifty, too!



#10 Queen of the Couch
This video of our bouncy little Bibi Winkler was a huge hit and it had many views and shares.  It bounced around the internet, too, and brought us lot of new fans.



 

#9  It's Official 
Three cheers for Wylla Stout! Here's the day she officially became "ours". We were all filled with joy that day! I still am!

#8 What's Up With Wylla
It was such a huge relief when we finally had a diagnosis for Wylla.  It wasn't the greatest diagnosis to hear, but her condition wasn't life-threatening,  and we were grateful when we learned that we could manage it.  Step one was teaching her to eat vertically. Thankfully, she took to that right away.

 Oh, and that wee belly of hers!!

#7 Oh, Christmas Tree

The reason why this video has some many views may be because of me! There's nothing I love more than Christmas and kittens and I'm sure I've watched it a squillion times.
 

#6  I'm calling sixth place a tie. The introduction of Tressa Lovejoy got two more comments than Wylla's introduction, but Wylla's got many more views and shares.   Both are ridiculously adorable kittens and worthy of their ranking!

OK, Are You Ready?

  The Floofiest Friday Ever!

 #5 What's Happened and What's to Come
I think this was the hardest post I've ever had to write. It was most definitely the hardest day in all these years of fostering. But we got through it, and everything worked out.

 #4 One Tear-Filled Tuesday
Oh, Jerry Lee. Seeing your little face sill makes my eyes well-up, and I know I'm not alone. This was a hard day for all who were following the IBKC at the time.

#3 Sadness, Hopefulness

Sad, indeed. His passing was so unexpected. We're so, so very thankful that his sisters survived.

#2 A Very Sad Day
We were lucky to have so many amazing years with our dear Little Drewey Junebug. When we said goodbye, you said some very lovely things.

#1 Wee Wylla Won Our Hearts
Our most popular post was one of the happiest days of my life -- the day we decided to keep our dear Wylla.  It's funny to think about what we thought we were getting ourselves into at the time. We were a little worried and we anticipated a life of challenges. Our path started off rocky, and it was hard and confusing to navigate at first, but a couple of years down the road, it all smoothed out and we ended up with our healthy girl.

For the Ones Who Left Too Soon

DSC_0790


Our Friend Rosemary from New York is offering up a lovely $500 match for us this morning.  This match is in honor of Dylan, a young man and very dear person in her life, who sadly left our planet much too soon.  It's also in honor of all of those special souls we've said goodbye to sooner than we should have.

For every dollar we donate this morning, Rosemary will match it until we reach the $500 cap.  This will run until 12:00 PM today (pacific time).

To participate in Rosemary's match, please visit our fundraising page to make your donation.  And if it's in honor of someone special, please let us know in the comment section on the Firtstgiving page or here on this post.

Thank you so much for this generous offer and thoughtful tribute, Rosemary.

101 Wyllas - Part One

Today our wee Wylla turn ten months old!  In celebration of this day, I've put together a collection of images highlighting 101 of our favorite moments with Wylla.  The pictures are in chronological order, so you can watch her grow all over again.


Today I'm posting the first fifty, and tomorrow, I'll be back share the second half - it was way too much to squeeze into one post!  

It was fun looking back through the many photos (there are thousands!!)  and selecting this set - there were so many sweet memories.  Of course a few sad ones too - we've been through so much with this little girl. 




Happy Ten Months, dear Wylla!   We're so grateful you are ours!
