Two Happy Endings

Patricia Rosemoor and Blossom and Blitzen...

Blossom aka MsB

Blossom, or MsB as I call her, is now eleven. I got her from PAWSChicago when she was five and I was volunteering in Kitty City. I mostly write on my laptop now, and she doesn’t try to get between it and me, but when I use my desktop computer to work on my website or build a new cover, she definitely jumps on the desk to see what I’m doing.

For a couple of years, it was just MsB and me. Then I fostered Blitzen (also known as Bgrrl) from PAWSChicago. MsB retreated to my bedroom, and worse, my closet. But I didn’t have the heart to NOT adopt Blitzen, who thought I was okay but really, really loved the apartment. She was so happy here, I knew it would break her little heart if I sent her back. So, with faith that they would someday become friends, I adopted her, as well, a few days before Christmas.

Blitzen aka Bgrrl

Blossom continued to be moody and reclusive, striking out at Blitzen if she tried to play with her. It was many months later before I found out why MsB had changed so drastically. She was sick. She went into the vet for dentistry and came out with a double mastectomy after they found a lump in her breast - and yes, it was cancer. I didn’t know if she would survive. Now, a year later, MsB is healthy and the girl she was when I brought her home. Even better, she and Bgrrl (who is four) amuse me by chasing each other around the apartment.

I’m so glad I could give them both happy endings.
