Welcome Symba, A Bengal Cat in Chicago
Trixie seemed a little down - I think she really missed having Tigger around.
So after doing some research, we decided we wanted to get a Bengal cat - and found this beauty here in Chicagoland. Derrick named her Symba. She was born in May and when we got her in August, she weighed about 3 pounds - and last week she weighed 5.5! Growing like a weed!
Now the tables are turned on Trixie. Now she is 9, and trying to cope this ball of energy. The cat wants to play CONSTANTLY and Trixie is not really feeling it just yet. But I am sure, in time, they will be buddies. We're launching a site for the cat soon, BestChicagoBengalCat.com
Little Yorkie LUCY Warms Hearts
Is she precious, or what???
Meet Lucy, the world's smallest therapist.
The adorable Mini Yorkshire terrier stands at just 5.7in tall, is only 7.5in long and 2.9lbs in weight.
Together
with owner Sally Montufar, a college teacher from Vineland, New Jersey,
she visits the vulnerable, sick and disabled in the area.
They claim a cuddle with her makes their problems temporarily
go away, and insist that she even knows when something is wrong.
Sally said: 'Lucy is a wonderful therapy
dog because she seems to have some kind of empathetic disposition. She
is calm, she is sweet, she will cuddle and she'll sense when something
is wrong.
Rest in Peace, Tigger
Sorry we have not posted in a while - it's been a hectic summer. And we had to put down our 19 year old cat, Tigger. Tigger was about 9-10 when little Trixie entered the house! And all Trixie wanted to do, was jump and play with the cat! The cat was not amused. But finally gave in, and they were good buddies and enjoyed each others company. We'll miss him :-(
