Foster Kitty Drogo!

Drogo - my foster kitten

Drogo, the sweetest kitten, is now available for adoption at the Hinsdale Humane Society! He was one of the two foster kitties I wrote about back in June. Tyrion, the other one, was adopted pretty quickly. Drogo got a kitty cold, so I brought him home to recover. He's well now!
My best friend and I sponsored him to get neutered. He's been approved for placement with young children and/or other pets. Here's the little write-up I did for him:

		Drogo LOVES to run around and play and makes the cutest little chirping noises as if he's talking to himself. He would cuddle with me while going to sleep. Once he's had a good romp, he'll come over, stand at my feet and look up at me as if to say, "pick me up, please!" Then he purrs and purrs while I pet him. He even likes to be on his back getting his belly scritched! He got along well with my 4 cats and, after warming up to him, he got along GREAT with my big ole shepherd mix. He is a very fun, friendly, and happy little fellow that will make a wonderful pet.

The Passing of a Friend

Ms. Molly, who had cancer, has passed on. She was such a sweet girl! I will never forget how she'd flop on her back demanding bellyrubs  whenever she saw me. (And yes, I was the sucker who would always comply.)

The day I came in to the note that said if she was still laying by the front door to call her momma, was the last day I spent with her. I called her mom and she told me that it was time and we cried. I took Tailor for a walk. Then, when we got back, I spent some extra time sitting next to Molly giving her pets and lovin'. I knew she was feeling miserable since she didn't roll on her back for belly rubs. But I sang to her and petted her softly. At one point, all the pets, Tailor and the two kitties, came and sat around her too. It was as if we were sitting vigil. I stayed until she fell asleep, assuring her that her momma would be home soon. I wish I could've stayed, but I had to leave to go care for other pets.

Even though I only knew her briefly, I will never forget my friend, Molly.
