Life's Little Ups And Downs

i'm so sorry for the loss of your cat, i know what it is like. good for you to give a another animal a home so quickly. it helps, it really does.

Thanks, Menega! We probably would have waited awhile to adopt another animal if the cat's death had been unexpected, but he'd been sick for almost a year with a recurring condition, so we had time to prepare ourselves for it. Still hurt like heck, but you're right, it does help having another one to care for and love on.

That is a gorgeous looking dog x

I'm so sorry to hear this April...Wallace is a beauty!

Thank you, ladies! We think he's pretty dashing, too.

I'm sorry to hear of your kitty's passing, it's like losing a family member. Wallace is a cutie pie, so glad to hear he has adjusted and has a fast friend in your son!

Oh, I'm soooo sorry about Arrow. But also very glad that Wallace "found" you!! He looks like quite a character.

Wallace looks like a great guy.

I'm sorry for your loss, heartbreaking!

Did the dog come with the tie? :-) You're already subjecting him to that, get him trained now before Christmas gets here LOL

So sorry about Arrow, April. Wallace is certainly a handsome fellow!

So sad, I am sorry for the passing of arrow . The pooch is a very handsome.

Sorry for your loss! Regardless of what others may think.... pets are a big part of your family. Glad to hear you have opened your home to a homeless pet and you son has something to look forward to.

April , I am so sorry over your loss of Arrow. He looks like our Jinxie boy , who was also much loved, & sadly missed.

Wishing your family wonderful times ahead with Wallace. Such a handsome boy.

Those are the most gorgeous kitty whiskers I think I have ever seen, so so sorry for your family's loss. Wallace is quite dashing in his tie, lol! Wonderful for him to have found a home with you and your family...better test some 'test' christmas packages if you put stuff under the tree! In case W. likes to 'taste' things!!

Sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved pet.

Wallace is adorable - it is those eyes that draw you in. May you have many, many years to enjoy his company.

Thank you all so much for the kind words. I still tear up whenever I come across something that reminds me of Arrow, and those things are everywhere. But I'm glad that I have so many good memories of our time together. He was unlike any other cat I've ever known.

Wallace is very well-behaved for a shelter dog - we haven't had to redirect him once - so I think he'll probably do okay with Christmas presents unless they contain raw meat and meow like a cat. He is not socialized to other animals, and he does get a bit growly and pit bully around them, so I foresee obedience classes in our future.

Awe, I'm sorry about your kitty. Glad to see that even through your pain of the recent loss you still gave room in your heart to give a very deserving pet a new home! I wish you many years and memories with your new fur baby!
