Title: Introducing Jericho!
Post by: Sylvia on September 26, 2010, 00:37:13 AM
After what has been a heartbreaking year so far, at long last I have some good news  ;D

I would like to introduce Jericho to you.  I take no responsibility for the name as it was Jim's choice, however I have been told that I will be allowed to call him Jerry  :rofl:

He has joined our family today.  He is 3 years old, and was taken into a rescue after a traffic incident that left him with both of his back legs fractured.  He appears to be recovered from this now.  When blood tested, he was found to be FIV+.

He is going to fit in perfectly here  :)  It has been such an exciting day for us that I feel a few of these are in order  :yayyy: :yayyy: :yayyy:

Just in case anyone is interested  :rofl: here are a few pictures, so you can see what he looks like:

I may be a little biased here, but  :Luv: :Luv2:

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments  :thanks:

Jerry seems to be settling in very well.  He adores his wet food, and even though he isn't particularly large at the moment, if he keep eating at this rate he could get mahoosive!

He has very briefly met Sweepy, and both were remarkably calm about the whole thing  ;D

We are still going to take things very slowly with the rest of the family.

He is now insured, and I will be getting him registered with the vet tomorrow.

I don't know what it is, but I feel that we have a warm glow about the house now  ;D

Am so pleased for you Sylvia and indeed Jerry too.  You deserve a lovely cuddly boy after your recent losses  :hug:

He is of course absolutely gorgeously handsome.  I wonder if his fur will grow even longer after some feeding up like happened to our Freddie? Am so pleased too that Sweep is making him feel welcome  :)

These are for you all  :hug: :hug: :hug: and this is for Jerry  :catlove2:
