Great news xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She is here, she is at my sister's and she looks nothing like her pics!!!!!

I welled up at my first sight of her (flap flap all teary)..... she's beautiful and a true Mali. She's busy and stressed at the moment but she did come to me and at first gave me nose nudges on my neck to see what I thought of it, then later did the whole Mali hug thing and smothered me in kisses.

She has a name too - she is Rue! As in Kanga (my sister said she looks like a Dingo) but the herb spelling. It's good, it's easy it's different from Merlin and Cuba's names and it will work.

Very loving girl with a lot to give, a tad too interested in Jennie's ferrets and tropical fish - she started trying to stab the fish through the glass with her nose lol... mmmm it might be a problem with Cuba cat in future but forewarned is forearmed and at least Cuba is dog savvy.

I'm on Belgian Cloud Nine tonight! Pics soon I promise

Wonderful news. I can't wait to see pics of Rue (love the name) and hear more about how she is settling in. What does Merlin think of her?

So happy its worked out this way for Rue!
