Spa Day & Meet a kitten Day

Things are still going great with Maddie. She went and stayed with a temporary foster for about 2 weeks while I went out of town. She did great there. Adjusted well and gave her temp. foster mom no problems. Since she has been home we no longer use the crate. And at night she sleeps in our room now. I usually go to bed around midnight and she will sleep until about 7:30-8:00. I wake up first and once Im up she knows its time to get up too. She is still such a doll and such a cuddler. She loves to be with people and get loved on.

Today I was finally able to give her a bath. I typically do this in my bathtub, but I decided to do it in the driveway. With as hot as it as been I figured she would like the cooler water and just being outside. Of course we waited until it was a little cooler. She didnt seem to mind the bath at all. She got all sudsy and massaged. Rinsed and towel dried. Then a quick hyper, excited spurt, then crashed. But she is so shiny and soft now.



She also met a kitten today. A friend went out of town so we are watching her kitten that cant be more than 8 weeks old. Knowing Maddie, I know she is very tolerant of our cats. However, I thought maybe this tiny kitten would catch her interest. WRONG!!!! The pic below  was the first time Maddie met the kitty. I let her sniff her at first, which she could have cared less. So, for sake of a "cat tolerant" pic I set the kitty on Maddies bed. Maddie didnt even lift her head. LOL.


She is doing great and is so easily adjusted to all these situations. We LOVE having her around but there is no way I can have another animal. If there was, this sweet girl would no longer be available. So take advantage of my disadvantage and bring her home with you. Give her a soft bed, some love-a-rubs, food, water, and shelter and you will be hers for life.
