Good Morning, Everyone,

We have much to be thankful for today. Three years ago on this date Rusty arrived at his furever home. We drove to Kingston, Ont. to pick him up from his Aunties Linda (Bear Man) and Ronnie (Luna). They had driven the penultimate lap in a DCIN relay transport from Phoebe's in Detroit. We want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who loved and cared for Rusty in his journey to his furever home--a journey that began in November 2008, when he was rescued from the streets of Plymouth MA. Thanks to Claudia for fostering him, to Phoebe and Charlie for loving him so much that they gave him the chance to move to a home where he would be the only kitty, to Venita and all of the volunteers at DCIN for arranging his transport, and to FDMB and all our friends in Lantus Land for help, support, and friendship.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Ella, Edward, and Rusty

Yo Kitties! Come celebrate with me today. We're going to march in the Macy Day parade as CATS. The balloons are going to fly. After the parade we'll eat hot dogs from the carts and stop at a deli for turkey sandwiches.

P.s. We'll be at my niece's in CT today for a family gathering. Home by midnight, at which time Rusty will get a +18 shot and we'll see how the 18-hour shot schedule works (the following shot will be at normal PMPS time tomorrow evening, after we get back home to the Adirondacks). Rusty has a good, blue AMPS today and we'll leave out plenty of food for him.

I remember the transport only all too well. We were all waiting for the latest installment of the saga and very happy to see the photos. Rusty truly found the best possible forever home.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

Morning Ella ~O) ~O) ~O)

I so remember that transport. All of LL was watching what was happening. I remember all the great photos too. It was such a great thing. How lucky Rusty is to have found his furever home with you and Edward. What a great time, and a wonderful annifursary.

Enjoy your holiday and time with family and friends. Goodluck to with the 18 hour schedule. I will be looking to see how that works.I think it is an excellent idea.

Rusty! We are all ready!! bags packed, and we are so stoked! I've never been a parade. This is so mega cool. We told Lola she has to be good, and non playing with the balloons... See ya in a few!~~ Elsa, Lola and Bug

Happy Thanksgiving Ella, Edward, and Rusty!

I remember that day so well! It led me to knowing such wonderful people, and of course, such a special cat! I remember all of LL cheering us on. It feels like three lifetimes ago for me - so much has changed in my life since then. But that day remains a highlight in my life. Rusty was a perfect traveller in the car. Here he is stopping for a coffee enroute:

Ella... What an awesome story about how Rusty came to be your baby !

So hope you and all your family have the best Thanksgiving ever ;-)
 
Re: 11/28 Rusty AMPS 189; Happy Thanksgiving & Annifursary

That is wonderful how you and Rusty came to be together. He got a great furever home and you got a special kitty. I hope the 18 hour shot schedule works for Rusty. Have a great Thanksgiving.

I can't wait for the parade. It will be so much fun.

I'm so glad Rusty found his way to you (with lots of amazing help!).
Enjoy your day, and give him extra scritches from us! ♥
 
Re: 11/28 Rusty AMPS 189; Happy Thanksgiving & Annifursary

I just love reading stories like these, the journey's that are taken so kitties and beans can unite just warms my heart. I hope that you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving as well :-D
 
Re: 11/28 Rusty AMPS 189; Happy Thanksgiving & Annifursary

Happy Annifursary Rusty & Ella!

What a heart warming story - I love it when the stars align :-D

And what adorable pictures of traveling Rusty :-D He knew he was heading someplace good!

Happy Thanksgiving - Good luck with the 18 hours~
 
Re: 11/28 Rusty AMPS 189; Happy Thanksgiving & Annifursary

I remember that day too! We were all waiting for Rusty's arrival! You are the best beans ever and Rusty knows it! Have fun in Connecticut w/ your niece (I assume you meant the spaghetti will be on Saturday! ;-) :lol: :lol: ) Tess says all the kittehs are welcome to come and they will have their own special organic turkey w/ no sugar added! Although Emma may have other plans, she was eyeing a pair of turkey vultures sitting on our gateposts yesterday morning! :shock:

Ooooooooo! Rusty!!! Did you hear ? When they saw the bus drive up w/ kittehs all over it and hanging out the windows waving, they said we could drive it right in the parade! We can take turns climbing on and warming up w/ hot tuna toddies! -- Tess

Happy Annifursary!!!
I didn't know Rusty came home to you via DCIN relay transport while everyone here cherred!
Heart warming story and I love the pics of Rusty Linda posted.
The 2nd one looks like he's talking. Maybe "Are we there yet?".
 
Re: 11/28 Rusty AMPS 189; Happy Thanksgiving & Annifursary

What a hap, hap, happy day for Rusty, his rescuers, fosters and transport angels and his furever beans. We weren't in LL yet but we love seeing the pictures of Rusty when he meets his furever beans for the first time, it looks like true love all around. Have a wonderful day with family. So glad the balloons are flying after all!

Yo Rusty, I's LOVE the parade. It's purrfect. Is my fav thing we've done in the city so far! And the fuds, wow, we don't got nuthin' like these little carts where I lives. I specially like all the really big balloons with all the hoomins floating along underneath attached by ropes or sumthing, kind of like when we's have to use ropes to bring each other down from when up there in those high numbers too. I's love all the singing and dancing hoomins. Wait, wait, is that Lola hanging from that balloon rope? How she get up there? - Zener
 
Re: 11/28 Rusty AMPS 189, +5 230Happy ThanksG. & Annifursary

I so love homecoming or gotcha day stories. I think both you and Rusty have benefited from finding each other. :-D Great pics of him in the car Linda, he is such a seasoned traveler now.

I heard they had all the cat balloons together in the parade at the start, but then they started wandering all over the place. Who was that muttering about herding cats? I can hardly wait to see em. ~Neko
