Thank you all! I talked to Russ today and my DIL said he was still crying. I talked to him and he has a "thing" about rescuing animals. He has done it since he was a little boy, but Buddy was so special to him.
Anyway, I told him that if he wanted a kitten, we would find one thru the humane society or find some other way to rescue one. We ended up driving an hour to a place in Macon, Ga that had 2 kittens. One was black and white and the little female was grey. When we walked in, the little female walked out of the kitty house she was in and looked right at him and he just fell in love. He said he felt guilty because he didn't want anyone to think he was trying to "replace Buddy". He knows you can't replace one with another, but his heart is soooooo big and he just wanted another cat to love.
He ended up bringing the little grey female home and has tentatively named her "Myra", which I love. She is going to an out of town vet tomorrow for a complete checkup and whatever shots she may need. She is a precious 8 weeks old and has the most beautiful green eyes!
The one thing I love about both my sons is their compassion. I'm so proud that Russ has a heart big enough to welcome another little kitten into his life even though his heart is breaking from the loss of Buddy.
Thank you all for your prayers. I'll pass your well wishes on to Russ and I know he'll thank you all too.
Kim
