On Monday night Lazarus and I added two new members to our family. We like to call them our "Christmas Angels". 🙂
Lazzy once had a little girl calico kitty who meant the world to him. He adored her more than anything. But unforseen circumstances arose and he was forced to give her up. Ever since then, it's been his dream to get another little female calico to try to fill the void sweetheart left in his heart.
Well, right after Lazzy left for work Monday, I got the news that an acquaintance of an acquaintance had just what we were looking for. I hopped in my friends car and we went over there. Upon seeing the little calico, I knew I would not be leaving that house without her. Little did I know though, at that moment, that she would not be coming home with me alone. After interacting with the kittens for about a half hour, and watching the little calico play with her sisters, I noticed she had a strong bond with one of them in particular. It was the same one that captured MY heart the moment I walked in. Well, I decided I couldn't just bring the calico home alone, and take her away from ALL her family...especially not when she had 3 old men kitties to come home to. And also not when I saw how tightly bonded she was with her one particular sister. So they both came home with me.
It was supposed to be a surprise Christmas present for Lazzy. One he would be presented with in the morning when he returned from work. It didn't work out that way. Shortly after leaving here for work Monday night, Lazzy had a car accident. His first one. A huge buck rammed itself full speed into the side of his van, and sent the vehicle spinning out of control. Between the damage to the van, and the minor injuries sustained by Lazzy during the accident, he was forced to turn back home and take the night off work. He walked into the house moments after I did with our new little additions. It was definitely a night of surprises. On BOTH ends!
Anyway, the kitties are now home and adjusting rather well to their new surroundings, and their big brothers. Talk about spunky little poops though! WOW! I'm telling you....there is no joy in the world like the joy you get when watching two little spry fuzzballs zooming through the house attempting to bite off their siblings tail...lol. We named the calico "Autumn", due to her fall leaf colors, and also as a tribute to Lazzy's daughter who passed away in the Autumn of 1995. The other one is a little black and brown tortiose shell, whom we decided to call "Reeses" since she looks like a reeses peanut butter cup. Here are some pictures of our new little darlings. Sorry for the quality, but trying to get either one of them to sit still long enough for a quick snapshot is pretty much impossible!
Our first Christmas together has been truly blessed, thanks to our two little Christmas angels. 🙂
