Well, We have had another busy week, my older two passed the same ice dance, but tested individually with their coach. They both shocked and had me in awe at the same time as they only worked on it for a few weeks. It might mean that they will compete as a pair on the fall in ice dance..... (as well as an individual).
We went for a lovely dinner around a friends house and when I got back I decided to look on the classifieds for a kitten.... and low and behold there was one just down the road from us, a boy kitten and the type of breed that we were looking for... so on the buy and sell site, i msg-ed them at 1am ROL (Roar of laughter!)...
The next morning it was Father's day and the kids really wanted to go and sing in the school choir at church... so we did that, then took Oatie's dad to Starbucks for a super coffee and we got the call from the "cat lady", so we went and had a look,,,, Oatie and the kitten bonded instantly and well, put it this way... we came home with "Binoo".
Oatie has been sharing my cat, but he really wished for a pet of his own... we're still waiting for news on the Service dog, but already him having his own pet has made such a difference as Oatie picked him out and each time the kitten is away from Oatie, he cries....
What kind of influenced our decision was that the "cat man" had a terrible accident, and broke 39 bones in his body, his back in 3 places, his pelvis and legs the lot with a car falling down on him... They were told he'd be lucky if he wasn't paralysed... and then when they told him to stand they didn't know if the pins in his pelvis would take him standing or whether it would split apart and he'd never walk again... well luckily he will make a great recovery whatever that will be as he isn't paralysed (but they can't operate on his back where the injury is) and he can stand... and is now learning to walk. He's been out of work for 4months and will be lucky if he could return to work at Christmas, he just got out of hospital a few weeks ago.
So after that, we decided that it was fate that I happened to look at the classifieds for a kitten for Oatie just then and buying the kitten will help "Binoo's" cat family out... too.
So there we have it, Oatie got an 'early' birthday present as when we saw the kitten we were expecting that we couldn't take him home for another month... but the "cat lady" said we could take him the same day....
