Hey Julie
I clicked on your photo of milo as a kitten and was sent into your photobucket album and got to see all your 43 photos. They looked great. Must say not too many of the human type though haha
I posted pictures under the General Chat Section under "
Went Shopping Today - Toys and Kittens"
Yeah.. Gregg
Was there.. In Fact, he wanted her too! He was the one that said to get their number or try to put our names on a list for her, then asked me to call them first thing Sunday and then Monday Morning. Now he's getting cold feet... I think we're both getting butterflies. Here we haven't had any pets for over 10 years (except for a lovebird our employees watched when we went away). We didn't have any because we didn't want to be tied down and have to worry about boarding them or finding someone responsible enough to take care of them when we do go away and now we have Dolly and are getting Madison! It's just scarry taking on the responsiblity for another life. When we go to my parents for the day (3 hours away), we end up leaving early because he wants to get home to Dolly, or We HAVE to get home because she's been alone all day!
We never had that before! That, Worrying about another life before.
So, on top of the worrying, there's worrying about if they're being kept happy and active and not bored.. I know they find their own fun, but we still like to make sure Dolly has plenty to play with. But she always wants us to play with her.. maybe Madison will play with her more and keep her occupied.
There's that much more fur to always clean up, That much more fur on our clothes and bed, Another litterbox to clean....
Just seems like so much to worry about. We just don't want to make the wrong decission and end up with a cat we either don't like, can't handle or worse, Dolly doesn't like.
Probably just worrying about nothing... but the unknown is always scarry.
Ok, confession time - maybe this will help you Paul...When the girls first came home, I did panic. Simon had been such a laid back guy - he used a cat door and went outside to go to the bathroom so I didn't have a litterbox, and suddenly I have two litterboxes to keep clean (plus trying to train the girls to go through a cat door to get to the litterboxes, putting out more food more often, cleaning and putting back out water bowls, and in the first couple of days I thought "what have I done" particularly since I had always said that I would never have another animal if something happened to Simon. But....it was just an adjustment period - that's all - for me and them. For a couple of days you may still wonder what you've done and question yourself if you did the right thing, but just give it time. Now I can't imagine my life without the girls, and I don't think a thing about cleaning two litterboxes twice a day, or water bowls, or putting out food, anything. It's just a routine and getting adjusted. You'll be fine, just relax - it will be a change, but for the better in the long run.

Yep i been mucking around on photobucket trying to work out a new signature Milo has changed so much I would like to have something recent glad you liked
I know how you feel,
I make many big business decisions every year in my stride but when it came to bringing another furrball into Nikitas home I got so stressed,
I must admit (right or wrong) that I didnt at all worry about desease transmission as my second raggie came from the same great breeder who I trust totally,
My worry was upsetting my girl,
Take the intro slowly with close monitoring,
My Nikita and little Toby are the best of friends now,
