Tami Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I'm not sure everyone would think it was great news but I love Spring and new life so... My little black and white Cat, Keeko, is going to have kittens of her own. She came to us as abandoned about a year ago and we took her in (I already have an assortment of pets and kids) but she needed us... We have tried faithfully to keep her in but one time was enough i guess. I took her in the past Monday to have her spayed and the vet called and said she was pregnant... So it looks like my already busy household is going to grow. Its strange but new life is just such an incredible thing to me now... I just can't wait. It's funny I used to be so picky about things but about 3 yrs ago now when they told me to make my final arrangements I really understood the things that are important to me. Now I live in a little 3 bedroom ranch with a husband, 3 kids, 4 cats (all strays) and 2 dogs. We have taken in the neighbors two kids pretty much all the time now (the kids eat supper and usually sleep at our house) because their parents are often drinking... but we make due. It's a circus most of the time... I also work two jobs. But my kids are doing well and they have learned the meaning of sharing, working hard, giving and appreciating what you have. I just can't wait to watch these babies come into the world, to watch them play. Just thinking about life........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggiesmom Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 It sounds to me like you really know what life is truly about, what is important and what isn't. I'm still trying to learn these things myself and seeing your post makes me think. Thank you. Enjoy every minute. Joanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treebywater Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 New life is always a miracle and a thing of hope. I'm so excited about your kitties! There's nothing sweeter in the world than new baby kittens... Specially in that clumsy rolly polly stage. (Well nothing sweeter except new babies ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellakc2 Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Thanks for the post Tami. Cancer stops you in your tracks, doesn't it. It DOES truly make you think of the wonderful things in life. When are your babies due? I believe cat carry for 63 days. Good luck to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gail p-m Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Loved your post. Yes, you truly know what's important and have learned to live life to the fullest. Some people have extremely long lives and never reach this point. Thanks for sharing and keep enjoying. From Gail P-m -- a mom of 4 (now grown kids) but I do have 2 dogs and 2 cats and look forward to grandkids but they're a long time off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
