It's been like.... forever... since I've been on here and posted so here's my updated pets post:
As those of you who are my friends on facebook know, last October I had to put Jinx to sleep.
We took him in because he was drooling a little and that was unusual. Turned out he had a rapidly growing tumor under his tongue and they would have had to cut out his entire tongue to get it out but he had a heart murmur as well so they couldn't even operate. There was nothing we could do. It devastated us as a family, he was the most important being in my life and I still miss him more than words can say.
In November, with high hopes that it would help us recover, my mom and sister brought me this for my birthday:
Her name is Desi, she's a little gray tabby and she has helped, a lot.
Then, in January as I was going to a pet store to get pet food for ours, we found him:
This is Jasper. He was a five-month old Flame Point Siamese when I got him. This poor guy has had a very rough life. Those marks on his nose are from someone burning him in the face, he's missing a couple teeth from being kicked, and his tail has been broken. The first couple of days we had him he was very wary of human contact and would only come near when you were sitting on the floor. He has come soooo far since then, and him and Desi have bonded a lot. They're best friends and they're so incredibly sweet.
They're both roughly 10.5 months old (Jasper is ten days older) and I hope to have them alive and healthy for a very long time.
