So Tiny!

We are officially a dog and kitten family. I waited two hours this morning in the parking lot in Shirlington for my turn to pull up behind the van. It was an especially large transport, and they needed to make sure every pet and their paperwork went to the right family. Once I was in the queue, a friendly bearded young man approached the car, retrieved the carrier and two tiny collars from the backseat, and returned within five minutes. He opened the passenger side door asking, “Is this okay?” (meaning entering my personal space, not whether he could give me animals). I saw two tiny faces staring back and me and mewling and said, “Oh, yes!” He smiled and said, “These are wild ones.”

They are so tiny! So tiny! They are on a constant cycle of play, eat, sleep. She has already used the litter box twice, but he…hummm…why hasn’t he gone yet? Guess we’ll find out at some point in the next few hours if he knows how to use it. So far, he’s only been interested in playing in it.

We brought Sasha’s bed into their area so they can get used to her before we introduce them dog face to kitten face. Sasha sat breathing heavily from outside the door while Rick and Jessie sniffed her bed and eventually napped on it.

This is going to be fun.
