Bitsy is one beautiful baby! My husband and I had a dachshund/beagle mix that looked so much like her, except Brittany was colored more like the dachshund part. But her body, head, and the eyes, ohhhh those eyes were just the same. Poor little girl, abandoned and hungry, bless you for taking her in.
We live in a rural area and have problems with people dumping pets. Right now I have a mama cat and her 4 kittens living in my shed. She showed up over Labor Day. She was soooo thin, so I fed her. The second day, my husband and I thought we heard a tiny mewl and thought oh oh a kitten. Then when she was fed for a couple days, she started showing that she had milk, but never heard the kittens again. Every time I fed her it seemed one of her teats was damp, so I was almost sure she had at least one kitten. Well, yesterday, just before we left to come to Rochester, NY to visit my son, I was at work and DH was looking for something in the shed and found 4 adorable kittens! Oh dear!!!! What am I going to do? Already have 2 indoor cats. I can't keep them all, but have bonded with mama cat (a calico, I named Patches) and fallen in love with one of the kittens. My grandson is in love with another that he has named Clyde, but that leaves two. I wish pet owners would be responsible and get their pets spayed or neutered whenever possible! Our local SPCA has a spay/neuter program for low income families.
Anyway, enjoy your new soul mates!

Bitsy is adorable as is the kitty....who looks exactly like my baby Sammie. It is great that there are caring people like yourself to take in these poor abandoned creatures.
We have 2 kitties and 1 dog....all rescues. They are the best, most loving pets.

There's nothing to worry about though. In Florida, it stays summer until end of October, and winter doesn't start, (talking temperatures), until February sometimes...next thing you know, it's spring.
She and the kitties practically have their own house, out there in my 2 room, wash house/shed.
It is 10 x 24, no inside door, but 2 rooms. I'll insulate the second one by mid November, and install night lights and they have plenty of bedding. If need be, I'll put in some kind of heat, too. I have on occasion brought pets in and put them either in bathroom or computer room. Hubby would say, they get treated better than him :lol:

They sure do look alike! how sweet. Maggie looks like she would be a great playmate.
Maybe if we ever get together, we should bring our pets! :wink:

I think he is really, secretly afraid of Ginger, and she wouldn't hurt a flea. Or he's just plain jealous. He comes to the back, if he thinks I'm there with her. I love up on him, to show his there's no need to be jealous. They don't hiss anymore. We're making progress, lol! :D

I know for sure Bitsy will be loved and that sure is a lovely cat too. Looks like they knew they were on to a good thing when they found you.

She won't be having wee ones, so she has four in house kitties that she loves to pieces. They even pile up in the bed, and it's a double!
We have a queen sized and hubby says I take up too much room.
Hogwash! I told him last night to get a tape measure, and he did!
I have a bum knee so I sleep on my stomach and kind of put it out a little, towards edge. I had 28", and he had 32".
He sleeps on his back with arms down, so I ask, who is really hogging the bed? :lol:

Bitsy is adorable and her friend is handsome!

BC is not cuddling with them, but he has let them on 'his' porch, and they have all layed around within feet of him.
Ginger thinks it's great they're here. me too! :mrgreen:
