I'm smiling, I was so careful with Huck and Oscar, afraid Oscar would be too ruff. Not on purpose but, you know...they are about the same age. Andy's a few years older and much more mellow. David said Huckleberry had a ball playing with Oscar under the door ❤ Oscar said "ma.. quit being an over protective wimp" just seemed like it was time to see what would happen.
Big hugs❤

😂 Paul & I just had the same conversation.... that I am too over protective of Stewie! I Wanted to put Stewie into the back of the UTV to take him down to the lake with us this morning, but Stewie had other thoughts and just took off down there....🤗 what can we say, we’re all mothers at heart!!! 
Remember...“live in the moment!“
Oh yeah.. don't I know it! I'm relieved that it went well. I gave him some alone time to run the room by himself, then I brought him dinner and crated him. He likes his crate, thank goodness. Baby steps ❤❤

This is so wonderful. I have good tears.
Rusty "The Bunnyman" adopted us in 2014. Aug/Sept 2017, back left leg amputated (HSA cancer). He remained cancer free over 900 days. Cancer returned as of emergency visit on day 931. 15 days later, he gained his wings 04/18/2020 due to congestive heart failure. He will always watch over his fellow tripawds and their hoomins with Head Scritches and Sand Paper Kisses.
It has been a good day today. I didn't expect to introduce them so quickly without the crate for protection but it just all fell into place. Little Huckleberry is resting in his box now 🙂 He hasn't been sitting in his litter box thank goodness!

I think he is going to feel like he’s in heaven😻 he has been totally accepted as a member of a very loving family and he probably can’t believe his good fortune! 🔮 tucked in snug as a bug and cold weather on its way... yeah life is good heh huck’s?!
Sweet Dreams Prince Huckleberry!😴🐁🐟🍗🛌💗❤️❤️❤️
This is so great to see them all playing like old friends! Thanks for sharing a very special, unforgettable moment with us. Life is definitely good for the pride!

Honest to goodness, we MUST have a CUTENESS ALERT before all this cutness overdose!! Too much cuteness all at once can make us giddy with happiness!! 🙂
Love how all this is unfolding!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
G'morning 
I went to "tuck Huckleberry in" before I hit the hay last night. He was all snuggled up and came over for hugs and treats. I think the excitement of the evening wore him out.. in a good way. His appetite seems back to normal now, he ate 3 cans of Fancy Feast yesterday plus whatever he munched on dry food. Now I am going to have to make sure he doesn't get fat 
Have a good day

Good morning! What wonderful news to wake up to!
If you figure out how not to give to those big eyes as they try to convince you they can live on Temptations alone... let me know!

Good morning Huckleberry, it sounds like domestic life is definitely working for you!
Try not to eat too many treats.... tha definitely won’t work for you!
Jackie, ditto what Gina said... Those eyes 👀... those eye blinks are to die for! How do you refuse?!
Have a great day ladies!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Oscar has me wrapped around his little paw...

So glad so see all is well with the 3 musketeers! Huckleberry is fitting right in!!
Feral kitty left with the leg!! Huckleberry is getting around great 
!
YAAAY for normal!!
So while I was at work, Huckleberry was "flying all over the room" according to my husband. He challenged Oscar and David said he was playing a little too ruff for Oscar's liking so Oscar asked permission to be dismissed for a while. A couple of hours later, I got this:
I think he is going to be ok He is coming out of his shell so quickly now, and he is embracing the idea of being a cat learning how to play instead of just surviving

SPEECHLESS!!! OMC!!! SOOOO ADORABLE!!! Watching all this transformation unfold, all while dealing with an amputation, nothing short of a miracle!!
You and David are doing such a SPECTACULAR job! 🙂
