oh yes... madam suits her perfectly!  lol  bless her.

She was rather unsettled when we first got her to her new home and was very wary and clung to paul and I for reassurance.  Bless her she even went over the cat box we tookher in... opened the door and climbed back in!  lol  Nothing that quite makes a statement than that!  lol

After an hour though she had got herself up onto the sofa and settled on her new mummy's knee and we know we have definately made the right choice for her.  We will of course be keeping an eye on her and making sure all stays well with the hip but she SO deserves this.

I got an email from the new 'parents' last night to say:

Just wanted to drop a quick note off to you to let you know Storm is settling in just fine.  She's been exploring, playing and doing lots of cuddling.  We have finally gotten her to drop off to sleep as she's been awake since she's been here.  She really is a jem and a lil sweetheart.  We'll keep you updated.

hi guys... well I DID have some new piccies... but do you think I can find what I did with them?????  lol  :Crazy:

the original interest in Storm didn't come to fruition so we had to put her up for homing through normal channels.  We have been inundated with interest in adopting her which I did find very strange but I think he looks more than anything are what really made people think wow!   We are of course, being very careful in our placement of Storm as we want to make sure she gets the best possible match in her new home.

I will try (once again) to get some piccies today as I need to get piccies of Skye's babies too which are HUGE!!! and hopefully this time... not delete them or hide them from myself!  lol


Great that she has a local new home  :)

If you ever delete pictures again, there is some free software that find deleted pictures as long as they haven't been written over. A few years ago at a friends wedding, I had been taking photos all day. At the reception OH wanted to take some and ended up deleting everything. I found this - http://www.snapfiles.com/get/smartrecovery.html and it worked!  :)

Hi guys, just thought I'd drop you a quick note to let you know that we have found the perfect placement for Storm.   :)  even better is that she is only going a few streets away! :)

She will be going to her new home this afternoon where we are sure she will settle in quickly and make herself at home.   I hope to get pics etc from the new owners and will be able to update you on how she is doing.

We will as always be keeping in touch with the new owners and will be on hand for support and advice as Storms leg continues to heal and strengthen over the next few months.   We are so happy for storm who can finally get knee's of her own to cuddle into.  :Luv2:

just a wee note to say that Storm is doing really well.   We have built up her 'roaming' time a little each day and she is doing brililantly.   Manages to walk around fine, albeit with a very bad limp.  Anything faster than a walk is a problem for her at the mo... but its all a step in the right direction! :)

wee update for you! :)

Stormy is doing grand and is such a little luv  :Luv2:

The hip seems to be settling in place (albeit out of where it should be) and she has finally come out of cage rest.  We are going to give her another few weeks to see how she gets on under 'normal use' and go from there.

On an 'up' note for Storm however we may have the perfect home lined up for her after a young couple came to visit and fell in love with her instantly before they even knew about her problems which didn't seem to phase them at all.  So, fingers are crossed that things are starting to look up for ickle storm! :)

an update!

Well it would seem that the hip is forming a false joint after all.... so the verdict being that if she can walk on it then why put her through the trauma of surgery and so are going to monitor her for another few weeks building on using the leg and see how it holds up.   ;D

From a 'look' point of view those that know can obviously still see that it is 'out of place' however the only other obvious thing of note now that she is allowed to walk a little on it is the fact she has a really bad limp. 

She is such a sweetie pie and certainly for the time being I would like to hold on to her for another few weeks to get her used to walking on the leg again a little at a time with a view to building up the muscle again in that leg after weeks of cage rest. 

I do wonder though how easy she will be to find a home for bearing in mind her bad limp albeit from my point of view I would much rather an indoor home only as I don't think she will be able to jump too well.... but then... we never know how well she will adapt now that she can start to use the leg again.   Either way it still needs time to form properly and muscle to strengthen and in the meantime we will just have to monitor her and decide whats best for her as we go along.
