We finally got a family dog when I was in college. She got a liver disease and died the day after she turned 6 years old. I got my own doggie about 7 months after she passed and she is the greatest fur baby I could ask for. Just thinking about her not being around makes my eyes well with tears.<br />We did have fish and tiny turtles when we were growing up :)<br />A Snow Bengal sounds so cool though. Darwin truly seemed to be a one of a kind cat. And Darby was a beautiful doggie! I hope that the next addition to your family brings both you and little one years of love and fun!MookiePiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05541103497346363940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5321710438703162714.post-55403221084169033952010-07-08T20:49:49.060-04:002010-07-08T20:49:49.060-04:00Sara - I will almost certainly adopt from a shelte...Sara - I will almost certainly adopt from a shelter or rescue. Darwin came from Friends of the Shelter up where I used to live. I was lucky - I only paid the $75 adoption fee instead of the hundreds or thousands some people pay for his breed. He seemed to have had a rough life before he came to live with me, so I was glad that I got his 9th life.<br /><br />I have a neighbor that works with Animal Protection Agency over here. I am thinking of talking to her when I am ready. <br /><br />Betsy - I love your line about tempting tails ... I can just see it!MommieVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01802987098837731695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5321710438703162714.post-65952638534115763812010-07-08T10:33:39.147-04:002010-07-08T10:33:39.147-04:00I love my first babies so much, too. My little Bla...I love my first babies so much, too. My little Black Oriental is curled up next to me right now. Maybe you can get an older kitten, or a year old cat that won't be so jumpy and wild? Of course I have 7 year old cats that like to taunt Gunne Bear and then leap onto a counter just out of reach, tempting tails dangling inches from his hands.<br /><br />I would also recommend teaching her "gentle touch" this took a loooong time, but he's finally got it down and the cats don't spit and hit him anymore.Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11848143041881649504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5321710438703162714.post-22815019337640161842010-07-08T08:01:19.169-04:002010-07-08T08:01:19.169-04:00I'm so sorry for your losses.

The Shamrock Foundation, Humane Society and Animal Care Society all have charming, litter-trained cats (some just a few months old) that have already been graded for their behavior around children. Petfinder.com is another great source, because you can search for the qualities you want.Serifm8https://www.blogger.com/profile/06976964762910714905noreply@blogger.com
