Welcome Home Ella & Lily
Two and a half weeks ago, Ella and Lily met their final destination on an international journey from Kuwait via Amsterdam and Edmonton. I could hear their plaintiff cries even before I laid eyes on them for the first time. Before saying my first "hello", I quickly placed their carrier into my car, for fear they would catch a further chill. Since arriving in Edmonton two weeks previously, (and convalescing with Piper, Rosie and Company), they had been suffering from a feline herpes flareup, no doubt from the stress of the flight and temperature changes.
Two and a half weeks, and two vet visits later, Ella and Lily are still wheezing and sneezing, but their spirits are high. Tthey play often, eat TONS, and snuggle a lot. We've been giving them steam baths to help with congestion and they love to play in the water. They spend hours chirping at the birds outside. They've even found many ways to get into trouble, from climbing onto the counter to eat senior kitty Monkey's food, to climbing up our backsides when we least expect it. (It's almost time for another kitty manicure).
We're in love. And every day we pray that their condition improves.
