Good morning every1.

[Lynn49]

Good sunny morning everyone!
We have our grandson overnight since our Dd and her Hubby have her staff party and another couple overnight last nigh and tonight from the Sault, the gal has our DD's same position with their company so they're all going. Hubby is driving them there and they're cabbing it home.
So, I want to nip into Michaels and pick up stuff so that our GS can make snow globes for Christmas...then we'll have dinner and settle in for a movie/popcorn night. Love it!!

The BIG news is....he's getting his Christmas puppy tomorrow!! Yay!
She's a rescue doggie, mid-size, some lab, our DD met with her already....very "kissy", affectionate, submissive to other dogs when they came around, she's 1-yr old, has already had a litter of which only one survived and was adopted so she's been looking for it, "poor muffin" (as our cat-person DD put it!!)...she had porcupine quills in her chin which have been surgically removed.....and she's fallen for her!! She said the little tyke kept trying to climb up her pant leg to be picked up. Smitten! Mwahahaha!

But here's THE best part: the pup's name is Lexie, but our GS wants to name her Violet. I said to our DD that she'll have to but a violet collar and leash, and she said, "Mom, she's wearing one now!" Meant to be!! And now that our SIL is a SAHD, she'll never be alone!
I think I'll post all that in the doggie thread, lol...when I get to the computer....

Have a wonderful day, everyone!!!

LOST CAT NEWS!!!

She's close, about a block south of here - hiding under a shed at the back of someone's house.

Our son got a call in response to our Kijiji ad - the woman said she had noticed cat tracks in her yard for the past few days, saw the cat under the shed, but couldn't get to her - she could tell it was Taffy by the photos. She has been leaving her water and food, and it's been eaten.

So Milan raced over here, picked up my husband and they went over there - but it was dark, just at suppertime, they tried all sorts of things, but no way could they coax her out from under the shed.

Milan said from what he could see she looks okay, white parts are still white, saw she had the tips of her ears - but the lady said she was really skinny. Well, Taffy is a thin cat to start with, so we'll just have to see.
There are leaves piled up underneath the shed, so perhaps that's kept her somewhat warm...

They will go back tomorrow in the daylight and do whatever it takes to get her, trap her... whatever they come up with.

SIGH!

I'm just SO happy! I know she may not be the same, we will deal with whatever we need to!

[22hicks]

Oh Nat, that is such WONDERFUL news
I'm so happy for you and your family.
Once you have her home, it'll be a very Merry Christmas indeed. That sounds corny, but it wasn't meant that way.
Oh, I can just imagine the joy in your family right now.
Bet you'll all be up at sunrise. Hope you can sleep.
So exciting.

[Lynn49]

Natalka...there are very few words that I can use to tell you how excited I am that you may have little Taffy snuggled in your arms again!!! Christmas is a time of miracles and when Taffy is back, you can chalk this up to exactly one of those!
Make sure you have a bowl of chicken to offer her; she's sure to come running!!
Omg, so excited to read your story tomorrow!!!!

[thriftygranny]

Natalka, that is indeed wonderful news, hoping you can lure him out in the morning.

Natalka, I am thrilled beyond words! I just know the guys will find a way to get Taffy out from under that shed and back home. God bless that caring woman who called!!! I'll watch for updates.
