I am a pet owner again. But this time I adopted a cat... a beautiful short hair grey (almost Egyptian looking) lanky boy named Smokey Joe. Sure, I know it won't come close to replacing my precious dog... didn't want to try and replace Jessie. I'm simply glad that I've got something alive again in my house. (Now, if he'll just come out from under the bed...) ssmm
Glad to hear you got a new 4-legged addition to the family. I'm sure if Frogger reads this she can give you some "out-from-under-the-bed" tips. She just went through the same thing with her newly adopted kitty.
Thanks, ya'll. I hope tonight he might wander out a little more. He did come out to greet me this morning when I was getting ready for work, so I'll take that as a good sign!! And he's eating and he found the litter box... so I'm sure the rest will fall into place
Thanks again, you guys. Smokey Joe is out from under the bed, but has decided that for now he wants to be an "upstairs only" cat. Fine with me, since the litter box and food are both available up there He's a sweetie- glad to have something with a heartbeat in my home again!
