lost my June to kidney failure a month or so ago. found a new baby to rescue at the animal shelter. name given at shelter is Sweetie Pie... thinking she's Sweetie "Pi" since i'm a bit of a math geek. only about 12 weeks old, about 3 lbs, tortoise shell. shelter does spaying and chipping before adopting out pets. she'll get her rabies shot FREE when shelter does their next "clinic" in about 3 weeks. adoptions to county residents, military and senior are FREE! that collar, even at smallest, is too big. she is very interested in that "fidget spinner" thing.

Check out my newest 'Furbaby'
Comments (13)Thanks for all the wonderful comments about Lilly. I just knew I couldn't let her go. She is actually fairly timid here at the house, running for her crate at the smallest provocation. Even my three legged cat is a big scary thing to her. I guess I can understand Animal Control's point of view, though. She does need continued care until her wound heals and does have some nerve damage to the right side of her head, thats why she has one droopy ear. They are over run with "healthy" puppies that need homes. Shy, timid puppies with wounds don't have much of a chance for adoption. My boss says that she is smart, in biting me she knew I wouldn't have the heart to turn her over to a certain death at the end of ten days. nova...See MoreNew Furbaby! (pic)

Comments (67)Connie, McDuff will be gone a year on November 8th. And we will never be the same. It's okay to cry. I'm still crying. I don't think I will ever get over this guy. It's okay. He was my only connection with this new place. As each day goes by, it will get easier for you. It really will. believe me. I'm attaching a poem I wrote for McDuff. And I'm lucky enough to have a place where I can collect money, in McDuff's name for the North Fork Animal Welfare League. So, I think it would help you, if you just wrote down your feelings for your beautiful little doxie. Here's the poem: Our Sweet, Sweet McDuff I moved to Long IslandâÂÂs North Fork, A place very new to me I felt alone here, and different from the way I used to be. Then I got you, Sweet McDuff, at 6 weeks of age, I proudly strutted you through Greenport, And oh, my love, you were all the rage. Your huge Saint Bernard paws and your very, very beautiful face, Introduced me to people in this unknown place. I adored you from 6 weeks to 7 years old, And, of all the hearts I know, yours was a true, a very true gold. People giggled and were awed at your big, gorgeous, 180lb self, You were magnificent, my boy, in all your glorious stealth. I met people I never knew, Now they are a part of my life, all because of you. Although you were never asked to guard our front door, You did, my gentle giant, and made our B&B guests feel safe and secure. What a lucky girl your sister, Daisy was, To have one so noble for her to love. The respect and adoration you had for each other, was just so awesome to watch and made us all wonder How you loved each other and us so much, Were you gift a gift from God, precious McDuff? You amazed everyone until cancer took you, We tried and tried, sweet boy, but there was nothing we could do. You were there by my side in good times and bad, we laughed and cried together, How I miss the friendship we had. So proud, so proud, so proud and blessed we were to have you, my big, beautiful boy, My heart aches now at the loss of my pride and joy. You are in heaven now, And to you, Our Sweet, Sweet McDuff, we all take a bow....See MoreMeet MyBen (photo)
Comments (23)Once you've had a cat, it's almost impossible to live without another one. That's how I feel, anyway. I'm so glad that your found MyBen. What a cool name? How did you pick that? You'll have a lot of fun with each other!...See More

5 years agoI have had a lot of Torties in my life and loved them all. Special little cats. You CAN change her name if you don't like it. It takes a few days till they learn a new one. My rescued Maine Coon I found in the alley had no name but when I called him Bernie, he came in a few days. The only tortie I have left is 17 year old Annie. Her tortie mother was 20 when she died a few years ago and was one of the best cats I ever had. Good luck with yours.
My 17 year old Annie w/ Bernie.
