Something truly special: Oreo's mom

We just returned from Oreo's blog.

Mom bean here. Me and the kittehs are very very leaky
after reading the post.
But in a good way.

You know that feeling you get after watching a gushy sad
movie- where the ending is happy?

Oreo's mom turned the ending into that kind of story.
We were actually weepy from thinking how wonderful it was
that Oreo was not in pain anymore.

It truly is an inspiration. To any of you who didn't read it yet, please please do.

There has been a lot of sadness lately.
I've helped many furbabies to the bridge lately.
Some i know, some i don't know.

It doesn't matter. They're all babies, and i love them all.
It's been very rough with that these past few weeks. It's like
it all comes at once.

I've said goodbye to many.

I've come home many days from work lately, very
very leaky.

And reading this was wonderful.
Even if you didn't know Oreo-
if you knew a furbaby or had one go off
to the bridge,
please please stop by and read her story.

Now for the winner of our raffle....

First, i couldn't get anyone to pick a name.
Tesla wasn't interested.

And ben was afraid of the pile. I had to hunt down Hansel
because he's the only one willing to play.

Here is hansel in all his glory:
He wasted no time. As soon as i placed him next to the pile
he nommed on a name.

Then he politely dropped it in front of me,
and returned to watching birds out the window.

Congrats to our good friend Siku!

To show that doggies can fit nicely on this blanket,
we had Benny model.
Luckily he wasn't afraid of it.

Its really good for laying on. And,
there's extra room behind him!

So, Siku, i think it'll work just fine!

We will be mailing it out on wednesday!

Thanks for playing everyone!
we raised $72!
