Monday, July 7, 2008 A Winter Sunday Posted in Daily Life I got up early (as usual) as I needed to send emails to kitten owners & people waiting on the waiting list. I don't actually like sorting out who is going to get which kittens, I always disappoint someone - our cattery name has grown & we now have a waiting list. SO I usually try & go by : person had a kitten off us before (maybe theirs got run over or now want another for company) People on waiting list the longest People wanting two kittens - I firmly believe two is great company People wanting two & don''t mind which colour or sex People wanting particular colour sex - I often can't fill what they are wanting eg 2 seal females. So they then go on next waiting list and get bumped up quite high. I always get Brent involved as he is emotionally  detached and then once he agrees with my reasons I send off the emails, wait for answers & usually in a few days all gets confirmed & people can than sit back & wait for their kittens to grow. I always find it works out and I have never let a kitten go to someone I'm not happy with, call it gut feeling or something - even out pets have told us. Eg we had one lady come to visit & the cats just wouldn't go to her - Abbey & I had a niggling feeling - then she went past our doberman Max & he just nutted off at her - he never did this! Ned turned up as he had a job for Brent - he has now put Brent on his companies fleet fuel card & we are able to save on LPG - A HUGE saving!!! I think Brent is now seriously thinking of keeping the Chev & converting it to LPG. We are very lucky indeed. I had to take James to his friends farm - the have 100 acres & it is just beautiful - some hills but also a lot of flat land (It even has an airstrip as they have their own plane). He packed his food - most of his friends family are now getting used to they don't feed James at all and he just has his food with him. He did a grand job - packed sausages, fruit, raisins & a drink of water. He had plenty of warm &  changes of clothes (thought I was a fussy mum) - Well I know James & Jack they are such out door boys. Sooo nice to see! James wanted me to take the landcruiser - but I refused as I know he would have me driving through rivers - as it was we had to yell & toot & Jack's dad had to come across the river in his jeep to get James.  But it was cold - funny how boys don't feel the cold. Then home for a phone call I have quite an internationally famous person buying some kittens and she was phoning me at 1.15pm - when she had called on my cell I was driving & still needed to take Abbey shopping - she brought herself a lovely red trench coat that was 60% off.- she was BUZZING with her bargain. I stopped off in library & to Abbey's horror I got out some of the books the famous lady has written - YES I am an old Groopy - I was right into her healthy Living books in the 90's. I enjoyed our phone conversation, now I have another name to name drop says Brent & Abbey hehehehe. Oh I also got a brand new book - I think having BRAND new books is just wonderful! But it's not mine (I don't buy books anymore one of my frugal changes - but I do ask the library to buy me in books I want & then I get to be the very first person to ever read it BUZZ AYE!!! The Book is called Sensatonal Knitted Socks. No time for lunch - was meant to be at Gills by 2pm running late, Abbey had a knitting lesson & I got a lesson in taking up jeans neatly - we used to take them to the tailors & pay $20.00 a pair - now we are going to do them ourselves. But I wanted to make sure I got the tailor look - not a homemade job look. Will share how to in a blog entry as we take them up GULP. Home - Brent had begun making a vegetable soup YUMMY!!!! - Abbey & I did cattery - takes longer now with 16 kittens HAHAH they all got their microwave hotties heated. And we did a photo shoot of each kitten to show new owners. As I didn't have to cook tea - I uploaded & put on cat website/blog & emailed them to owners. Then it was time for DR WHO! • Post A Comment! • Send to a Friend! Comments
