Adoption Diaries: 'Tis The Season For Overwhelming Cuteness
Elyse's Adoption Diary:
Reason 893 to love this time of year--coat season for doggies! It was a visual feast to watch the parade of dogs entering and leaving our adoption center this week, sporting their handsome sweaters and coats.
I have a thing about spaniels, and Lady is an especially pretty one! She's nine years old and has stunning brown spots on her white fur. And her ears speak for themselves--amazing! Just look at her photo!
While Lady was all beauty, I especially fell for her less attractive (by society standards, harumph!) poodle roommate, Max. I read on the kennel card that he wasn't at all playful. But he must have come out of his shell since that was written, because if this isn't playful, what is?
Sure, he's not exactly an Olympic athlete, but who needs that when you have a dog who can cuddle? Max and I curled up together on his bed for the longest time. I was in furry heaven.
So remember Whitney, my first love? Well, I'm in love again. The Persian kittens above are comically named Romeo and Juliet. They're a bit scary looking, but I think they're the coolest cats on the planet. Despite the permanent scowls on their face and black noses (as opposed to pink), they curled up together on my lap and purred an purred as I stroked their soft, long, fur. Have I mentioned how much I love cats with long fur? I'd take these guys home in a heartbeat. They probably won't be there by the time I visit next. So this love affair is sadly short lived, I'm sure.

Awww, those kittens are just adorable! I, too, have a weakness for cats with long fur. How can anyone resist petting a purring cat with a soft, fluffy coat? No one, I'd wager!
I had gotten a kitten for my birthday that was a stray, my family told me that it was perfect for me, because it wasn't possible that this kitten was going to make it another night. She lived under my grandparent's house, well at least that's where she came from. I named her November. I was telling myself no, but I couldn't say no to her. When I had picked her up she immediatly started to purr so loud, and she had looked at me with her cross eyed eyes, and just meowed. But I do have another cat that I had adopted from the aspca, and they get along so well now. The only thing is the other day I was cleaning out the litter box and found a couple of roundwords from when the little one went, and I am afraid that if I don't do something soon, that it will hurt her. The only thing is I don't make that much money at my job, and I am afriad of the out come when or if I do get her checked out. Do any of you know some prices? or anything that I could possibly do to help my little kitten out. My boyfriend and I are so attached to her now, and I feel that if I give her up that the other cat will not be the same. They are both my pride and joy! I love them both and would do anything for them. If I cannot afford everything that needs to be done to this kitten, then I will have to give her up!!! :-( Please help me anyway possible!
