My hubby is out golfing this morning (one of his Father's day gifts) so I have time to post this
I just had to share with you the news about our latest family member -- Midnight! No, he's not a yorkie, he's a 9 week-old kitten, we got him to soothe the broken hearts of my son and daughter after our last kitten, Flower, died unexpectedly (I posted about her in the RIP section here). Anyway, we rescued him from our local shelther yesterday that was having an adopt-a-thon at PetSmart.
He only has 3 legs and about 1/2 of his tail -- such an amazing little booger, he can actually outrun my two yorkies, both of whom adore him already!! I will try to take some pictures of them playing and sleeping together soon and post them.
This poor little guy had a rough start. Some sick person really hurt him. His tail was cut off, and one of his legs was partially cut-off and he was tied up in a wal-mart sack and thrown in the dumpster to die. Someone found him, rushed him to a vet, the vet saved him and then placed him with the shelter to be adopted.
They had about 25 kittens at the adopt a thon and we held and played with more than half! I thought we were going to get a different one when my son heard them mention they had a special needs kitty with only 3 legs, he had to hold it and see it -- he's so compassionate! Anyway, my daughter had to hold him next, and then I did.....and of course we had to have him! He's such a purr ball we already love him to pieces!
