Sad stuffs today, I'm afraid. . . .

Took the kittens back to the vet today. They all found homes, so I didn't end up getting to keep one, though I really wanted to keep True. . . . And we were just kinda in and out really fast -- dropped them off and left -- so I didn't even really get a chance to say bye to them, which leaves me feeling pretty cruddy. . . . Oh well. *sighs*

Also, a few days ago we received an orange tabby kitten that was probably only a week old, if that. It died yesterday. It wasn't doing well to begin with, so it just couldn't recover, I guess. . . .

On the other hand, I have some more cheerful news: I'm getting a puppy!

See, normally I don't like dogs much, but my mom's co-worker has a step-daughter who raises Chihuahuas, and I've been wanting one for years. Well, this co-worker asked my mom if she wanted a Chihuahua puppy, because his step-daughter had a litter of four. My mom told me about it, and made it quite clear that I could have one if I wanted one -- but only if they were giving them away, and not selling them, since we don't have that kind of money. Well, this was before we found out she raises them, which obviously means she sells them, and it also turned out that all four puppies were spoken for.

However, the step-daughter said that they're expecting another litter of puppies any day now, and because my aunt gave them a Chihuahua before, I can have one of the puppies for free. So yay! I'm getting a puppy! Now if only I can keep from going crazy with impatience as I wait the eight weeks for them to grow old enough to leave their mother. . . . *laughs*

Lastly, I did get some pictures of the kittens; I just need to get them uploaded. I'll post them later, when I'm not feeling quite so lethargic. . . .
