Yesterday, I hinted at some big news at the {v} household...

Gus has a new little sister named Pinky!!

{cv} and I are totally in love...and happily, so is Gus. Though we miss Lucy every day, this new bundle of joy has been bringing us plenty of smiles. We knew it was time to get Gus a new buddy--but since we'd been traveling so much, we didn't want to take on a little kitten until we were back in Rhode Island for a good chunk of time. I surveyed petfinder ads for weeks--and finally stumbled on Pinky. It was love at first sight! We adopted Pinky through PawsWatch, an organization in Rhode Island that provides foster homes for unowned cats. Pinky is another special kitty--she's got one extra "finger" {not sure of the technical term!} on each paw, which prompted {cv} to craft her name ;)

The vet okayed us to allow some play time now that we know she's a healthy kitten--and Gus and Pinky are already pals. Pinky is a bold little kitty, not shying away from batting at Gus. He takes it like a champ though...just like we knew he would. Pinky is still spending the nights in her quiet place, otherwise known as our guest bathroom. I can't wait to see their new relationship bloom--and watch Pinky blossom into a beautiful kitty, just like our Lucy.

Any tips on introducing a new pet to your current pet family?

I'll say it once and I'll say it again: I have the best readership in the world. When we lost Lucy, 

you were there to offer comfort...and though I may be biased, I'm pretty certain you're going to 

love Pinky as much as we do ;) Your love and support means the world to {cv} and to me. 

Thanks for celebrating Gus' new pal with us! 

Can't wait for tomorrow's nautical Friday's Fancies--the link-up starts at midnight!!! 

Get excited! xoxo {av}
