Thursday evening I got home from work and started to take the dogs for a walk. Before we'd gotten very far, my landlady drove by and stopped me. She told me she had found something that morning and wanted to show it to me.
Here's what she found:
She asked me if I'd be willing to let it sleep with me that night. She guessed that it was only 4 or 5 weeks old. I agreed.
We named him Felix. Such a sweet little fella. We also agreed that with her two dogs and two cats, there were more than enough animals in the house. So, he'd only sleep with me until we could find someone trustworthy to take in the little fella.
Felix got some sleep Thursday night, a good bit more than I did!
When I got home from work today, there was a note telling me that my landlady had found a home for Felix - someone we could be sure wouldn't use him for *Halloween* purposes.
I was a little sad that he was gone already, but happy he found a good home so quickly (and that I'll get a good nights sleep tonight!)

My mom's gall bladder surgery went well. They were able to go in laprascopically (sp??) so she should recover in a two week time or so. However, my stepdad and she forgot to mention to me that he had a doctor's appointment on Thursday morning and would need someone to stay with my mom.
I got a call Wednesday night asking if I could sit with her in the morning. I had to make a few phone calls (begging) to find someone to cover my morning hours, but I was able to find someone.
I drove over Wednesday night so I wouldn't have to fight morning traffic.
No problems. Stepdad got home about 10:40, and I left.
Problem: Blinding Pouring Rain the ENTIRE way! It took me about 80 minutes to do a 45 minute drive.

I have not heard back from the animal shelter I applied to volunteer at, nor the job I applied for yet.

I am looking forward to this weekend - sleep and More Sleep! (oh yeah, laundry too.)

Good news that Felix made it to a new home before you had a chance to get too attached. I think your landlady was trying to assure that he'd be YOURS when you move on...

Yep, an extra hour of sleep at that.
Lux,
You're probably right about her trying to get me interested in the little guy.
homebody,
Close, but no canoodle, right?
baselle,
He was a cutie with green eyes, and yes, very trusting.
