It's been a really tough few months trying to cope with losing Betsey.
On top of this we have had a pretty terrible year so far and now the cherry on top of the sundae from hell that is 2013, comes the news that i no longer have a job! Not really what you need to hear after dedicating 5 years of your life to a company, then given 24 hours notice that the company is no more. It's been rough, but finally some good news!
We decided that we needed a new addition. One of the hardest parts of losing Betsey was the lack of affection we get from Elvis. He's a real daddy's boy, so always makes time to give Mark cuddles but will never come to me. The affection he gives Mark is often a technique he uses to get food too, but with Betsey she gave affection without asking for anything in return, apart from your undivided attention of course! So we thought it might make things a little easier if we added a new furry member to our family to re-introduce that affection.
Please let me introduce Miss Norma-Jean Richards!!
She is a dark torti and absolutely beautiful!! We adopted her from Cats Protection Belfast on Sunday. She's settled in really quickly and is very cuddly and loves nothing more than a face bump, which melts my heart every time!!
It's good for us and good for her because she was found abandoned and starving in the snow, so she's getting a second chance and a forever home and we get to give her all the love she deserves.
Now the hard part...getting her and Elvis to become new best friends!!
