Sky's first day with us!
Shane and I made the hour and a half drive to Sue's house. That in itself was a treat, meeting a sister in Christ whom we've known for something like 2 years via the internet but never met in person before. We had a great visit with Sue, her husband Roger, daughter Kim and 3 grandchildren. LOL as well as Sue's pets :) Lunch in the dinning room over looking the back yard was wonderful - beautiful sunny day in the country was a joy for me. Learned some about wild birds, had my favorite strawberry short-cake for desert, and spent time getting familure with Sky - or her getting familure with us :)
Time flew by and it's hard to believe we were there nearly 3 hours. On the drive home Shane and Sky napped in the back set half the way, PTL quiet time for "Mom". I look forward to visiting with Sue and Roger again before the summer ends and am thrilled to finally meet one of my dear sisters in real life. And didn't have to wait for the rapture to do it.
Sky is doing tremendously, ate and drank her first night home, ran crazy jumping on anything that moved or didn't, knows where her litter box is already, and seems happy in her new home. We sure do love her, Shane said so a dozen or more times this morning already :) She has found 2 hidding places, one under the love seat where Shane normally sits - easy for her to attack his feet when the urge hits. And on the book shelf just behind my desk chair, makes it easy for me to reach back and pet her and she thinks no one can see her.
Oh, she did meet my daughter-in-law, Christina, yesterday evening - who also fell in love with her. Today she'll meet Shawn, Austin (my grandson), and Kennedy (my grand daughter). Austin will love her too I'm sure - Shane is working on getting her to not bite and scratch so much for Austin's sake (he's not yet 3). When she goes to bit his hand he holds it in front of her face flat handed and says "NO" firmly. Drove me crazy for an hour but do think she's learned already, or at least Shane thinks so he was proud to announce the last two times she didn't "attack" him instead licked and batted with claws pulled in :)

Special thanks to Kim for carring for Sky while waiting for us to come get her, Sue for introducing us to Sky, and for all the brothers and sisters who prayed for her recovery. Shane and I both have for over 2 years wanted a cat of our own and with the Lords help we now have a very special new member of our family.


June 28 Update:
Sky is doing spectacular - have had to make a couple adjustments in our lives. I now have to double knot my tennis shoes, as Sky likes to play with my laces while I'm working at the computer. This in turn ends up with them untied and when I go to get up "trip". She also seems to think she's a tree frog or something and jumps from the bookshelf behind me claws out to my back, ouch! Curled up purring on my lap as I type this now though :) Shane being off school for the summer would prefer to sleep till 9 or 10 but she doesn't allow that - gets bored with my attention and finds her way to his room. Yesterday he woke with a kitten nibbling on his ear :)
