Good News for Lizzy!

My foster kitty Lizzy passed the "Assessment Test" at the Kansas Humane Society & is now being placed for adoption
 I'm so happy & relieved!  I've been caring for her these past few weeks (helping out a friend who couldn't keep her) & although she's friendly & loving, my 2 resident cats did not approve of her presence in our house.  She & our cat Markie got in a little brawl the other night & the stress in the house was building so I knew I needed to make some kind of arrangements for her soon. 
I spoke with the staff at the H.S. yesterday & they said everything sounded encouraging & I could bring her in whenever I wanted.  They were so nice & even told me their busiest times to avoid.  I decided to go ahead & take her yesterday before the big storm hit & it went much smoother than I'd anticipated. I was actually the only one there at the time.  I was so impressed with the staff in Admissions ~ they were so kind & took Lizzy & I into a separate room where we went over the forms I filled out & talked about Lizzy.  It helped a lot that I'd already had her spayed, vaccinated & dewormed, etc. & also this being there slow time of year with not as many cats in the shelter.  They told me it would depend on how she adjusted to the shelter as to what their decision would be on accepting her.  I did sign the "reclaim form" just in case she wasn't accepted.  I was worried sick all last night & this morning hoping she was doing well & being sweet!  I finally got the call from the H.S. early this afternoon & they told me she was doing great & they would put her up for adoption!  HUGE SIGH of relief!!!
I'm just so glad everything worked out for her & I know she'll be adopted soon.  I'll even be able to keep track of her on the Humane Society's website.  Hopefully I'll see her on that "adopted" page soon!

We had a BLIZZARD today!  I loved it!  The kids just found out school is closed again tomorrow!
It's another sleepin' in, hot chocolate & movies day!  YIPPEEE!

Snow Day!

Koda deciding if he really has to go or not!

It's a winter wonderland here in Wichita, KS! We have our first snow day of the year & the kids are thrilled, especially it being Friday.

I've posted a few pictures from my daughters' trip to Washington, D.C. last week for the March For Life. You can't see her, but my youngest Kayla said her group made their way up to the very front of the crowd (of thousands) & helped hold the big "March for Life" banner that LED the entire March! She's on the very end though & cut off in all the pictures. We DID see her on the tv coverage though! She even looked up to the camera & waved! What a great experience & memory for my girls!
It's a great day to stay inside & cozy up in my studio but unfortunately I have to get out at some point & mail a few Etsy purchases from yesterday's sales. That's a good thing though! Have a wonderful wintery weekend y'all! xoxox
