I really don't want to say this publicly, because I think that I am still in denial. But what's happened has happened and there is nothing I can do about it.
Our dear babydog Paris was taken from us.
There. I said it.
Paris was a bold personality. Definitely the leader of the pack. Full of personality and mischief. One day she was gone. And I am positive she was taken. It was very unlike her to just run away. The times that she would climb over the fence she was knocking at the front door within a few minutes. So our gut tells us that she was taken. We have also witnessed a few other incidences, which I will not go into, that lead us to that conclusion.
So, after that happened and I have still not gotten over it, I had this hankering for a kitten. For a few reasons. 1. I love cats. 2. There is a mouse in my kitchen that continues to outsmart me and my mouse traps and 3. I wanted a kitten.
I named her Sunday. Because I found on her on a Sunday afternoon.
There is much debate between my aunt and I about "finding" her. She says that I took Sunday away from her. Nevermind, that she has 9 other cats and a sweet daughter dog named Lucy.
I say I found her - literally. Sunday was on the doorstep of her front porch when I found her and she was tiny and darling and pretty.
I brought Sunday home and bathed her, and fed her and have been nursing her back to health. It amazes me how much she has grown in the 2 1/2 weeks I have had her.
But, the vet says it's because she is actually getting healthy, quality food now. Before she was "on her own" and more than likely the runt of the litter anyway.
She had a fever, an upper respiratory infection, was malnourished and very sick, with swollen and watery eyes. And the shocker was she was the size of a fourth month old kitten. But to prove to me that she was 7 months old, the vet showed me her molars. The baby teeth were falling out and the adult teeth were growing in. She was just full of surprises!
Anyway, with antibiotics and love and FOOD she is one playful, healthy kitten - 7 month old kitten, that is.
PS: I am thrilled she is not scared of my camera!

I am so sorry to hear about your dog being taken. We lost our kitten once and I was devastated. A few days later we found a Siamese cat in our backyard up a tree a few days later. He was beautifully white, seal point with the prettiest blue eyes I've ever seen and I named him Angel because I believed God sent him to us to help us get over losing our other kitten. Maybe God is helping you cope with the loss of Paris by bringing you an animal that needed you.
no no NO! i can't believe it, i think that is worse than them passing, knowing they are still somewhere and you have no clue of their where-abouts....
so sorry ya'll...but the kitten is sure adorable! can't wait to see ya'll....
I agree with blanca. Knowing the dog is still out there....I am so sorry! That is awful!! Pets really become a part of the family, so I understand how hard this must be. On a happier note, that kitty is sure cute and sweet. I love kitties. We would be EVER so sad if/when something happens to our kitty.
OH MEOW!!!! She is so sweet. you know I love kitties. She really is precious. So happy for your new addition to the family!
Tiffany, I'm so sorry about Paris! :( I will enlist some help in trying to find her. But I'm happy for you that you've gotten a little kitty too. She's darling. :)
I'm sorry to hear about the loss of Paris. I hate that someone may have stolen her especially when there are so many out there that need homes but I guess they wanted or coveted enough to take UGH. Take care. Your kitty is so cute and I always love to hear how owners named their pets and Sunday is a cute name.
