Visited Smokey
Just got back from my first visit to Smokey (aka Cheyenne), my foster boy from September 2006 through February 2007. I was so in love with that boy. He was one of my favorite foster boys ever, if not my very favorite. And I so wanted to keep him. But I knew he would get more attention in another home. And he is.
He’s in a great home. He’s very happy. It was fun to see him give rubbing loves to his new Mom. He seemed to remember me, but was a little bit confused and paced around a bit. I’m sure it was odd for him to see me again. But he has adjusted well and he’s doing really well. He was my first placement, and I think he has a great home.
We spent five months with that boy. And I treasure and love every day I spent with him. I wouldn’t trade the time I spent with him for a million dollars. He is a priceless boy. And I’m so glad I was able to share a few months of my life with him.

awww… makes me miss Momo. Momo was the foster cat that i had for four months. she was a long hair gray tabby and extremely tempermental when i got her. if you even reached near her, she would catch your hand with her sharp claw! but she was lovable. she would crawl on me when i was in bed and lay on my chest, but i wasn’t allowed to pet her (loss of hand…). until one day i had a breakthrough with her! i reached slowly toward her and she put her head down! it was the most amazing thing! to have this connection with her. when she left i was really sad but i knew she was better adjusted than when i’d gotten her, and hopefully would be going to a happy home. more people should be foster parents to abandoned / abused / needy pets. 
if you read my post on Binky, you’ll understand where i’m coming from

Smokey is indeed very beautiful! It is very often hard not to be able to keep them all in your house…
