Title: A special thank you to Sam (Fussy_Furball)
Post by: JackSpratt on August 26, 2009, 15:47:05 PM
In June this year, Little Miss Asteroid had been with us a year. She was being given away on the free ads and I took one look at the photo and knew people would take her to potentially "make money from her."

We hadn't long since lost Tobes, so I intended to foster her and find her a home through a safer route than the free ads. I thought she'd help distract me a little from the immense grief I was feeling.

Sam brought her to us, and the little madam set about making herself at home immediately. She was a tiny whirlwind of a kitten, and you never knew quite what she'd be up to.

I knew she was creeping through the chinks in the armour when I discussed getting her a permanent home, and my partner looked sad. If I'm honest, I felt that way too but felt a little disloyal to Tobes. But then I thought about it another way; what if I was meant to see her and she was meant to be a part of our family?

I can't guarantee it, but I like to think Toby saw how heartbroken we were and wanted to help, so he swayed circumstances. And Sam helped.....when she turned up with this tiny kitten, I didn't know how much of an impact it would have on us all.

So thank you, Sam.  :hug: (And thank you, Toby. ;) :Luv:)

She is beautiful, and I'm absolutely certain that Toby had a huge paw in you finding each other, same as Max leading me to Poot.

They are very clever, and know just what we need, sometimes better than we do  :hug:

Well done Sam for sorting too, without you this would never have happened  :Luv:

Ahhh shucks guys you are making me blush. 

JS ... I didn't really do much apart from deposit an incredibly cute bundle of tortieness on you  :Nooooo:.

I'm so pleased Astryd (aka Asteroid) settled in so well with the rest of the family ... TBH I didn't think she would have too much trouble convincing you and OH that she should stay .... she wasn't exactly backward and coming forward even as a tiny little kitten.



Thanks Yvonne - again I didn't do much  :hug:
