On the 23rd December we said goodbye to our darling 17 year old Tortie. Just three weeks later we said goodbye to her sister. It was awful. I’ve not been as sad or tearful for a long time.
This week it was time to look.
We were chosen. Our home now has 2 nine year olds, a huge ginger and white boy with thyroid issues and his sister, another Tortie.
They are adorable, I must admit to a little tear the first night they gratefully climbed on our knees and gazed at us with a mixture of relief and adoration.
We rescued them from a local Sanctuary but I think they rescued us a little bit too, DP and I have smiled more this week.
