As I sit here writing this, I think it's time for a soothing cup of lemon & ginger tea. I just left my foster cat, Cameo, at a pet store for an afternoon showing; she's in the care of two volunteers.
A last minute change in the scheduling has my girl in a roomy crate with a neighbour beside her, a big, beautiful Golden mix, who is housed in an enormous crate. The person who fosters the dog promised that her husband would pick up the handsome boy if either animal felt stressed in the presence of the other. Someone I don't think Béliveau is likely to cower in fear in the presence of Cameo. I guess I'll find out how Cameo felt about some canine company when I pick her up and see whether the dog is still there! If he is, the good news will be that Cameo will tolerate a dog at close proximity, even after a short acquaintance.
I'm not entirely convinced that Cameo will be as relaxed as she is in my (her) living room! A couch that needs some straightening makes a comfortable spot for a snooze in the sunshine.
There's a lot to be said for comfort. It's certainly a perk for Cameo that she is staying in a foster home rather than a crate in a shelter. The same goes for Béliveau. (Yes, hockey fans, the dog is named after the recently departed hockey great, Jean Béliveau of the Montreal Canadiens.)
Last evening, I heard that someone lovely has applied for Cameo. That doesn't mean an adoption will happen, but it's a step in the right direction!
I hope you find many sunny spots in the upcoming week.
Note: Some people had some trouble linking. That problem should be fixed now.
Your turn!
Hi Karen, It looks like I'm # 1 this week. I'm happy that Cameo may get a new home. She certainly likes to pose for you. The first photo of the fruit is so colourful. I hope you are enjoying the weekend. Thank you for hosting. Pam
ReplyDeleteThere is so much sunshine in your home (literally and figuratively). I wish you a great week ahead and I hope sweet Cameo will find a lovely permanent home with as much sunshine as her current lovely foster home.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be nice if Cameo does find her forever home, although she's pretty comfy lounging in the sunlight at your place Karen.
ReplyDeleteI was reading your guidelines and agree with the one about linking and running, a common practice of many bloggers. :-)
What sweet photos of Cameo - I hope things went well for her.
ReplyDeleteI love the bright colors of the orange.
I tried to post my link and it keeps giving me an error - saying that I don't have a back link - but I do.
http://scenethroughmyeyes.blogspot.com/2015/01/sunlit-sunday_24.html perhaps you can help me.
I think I have been much like Cameo... looking for a sunny spot to just laze about! Your weekly challenge got me off the sofa. Your orange and red are so vibrant and pretty!
ReplyDeleteHoping that you can see my link submission and fix the problem. Like JoAnn, above, I did have a back link, but for some reason, it didn't accept. Thanks! Susan

Nice photos, so sweet Camea (cats with such a fur patterns I see in Germany not often).
ReplyDeleteI cannot link up my post
http://maschas-buch.blogspot.de/2015/01/sun.html
It says always "No backlink", but I've, of course, made a backlink under my post :-(
Have a great and sunny sunday
I've tried again and now I have two backlinks in my post: one to this post and a second to your whole blog, but again it says "No backlink". Now I give it up... sorry
ReplyDeleteA lovely sunlit post, Karen! Thank you for hosting Sunlit Sunday!
ReplyDeleteConcerning the linking, my "Finnish" Blogger changes the backlink addresses to http://mylittlehomeandgarden.blogspot.fi/. When I wrote CA instead of FI, everything works smoothly. :)
That I've done, but now it says, that my link already exists ... but I cannot see it.
DeleteYour post is there now, Mascha. Sorry for the troubles.
DeleteI home Cameo will have a great time at the showing, but that she'll also return to the comfort of your living room soon.

I am so pleased Karen that Cameo has attracted some interest and that she is happy with dogs too as that will open more possibilities for her won't it. You must be happy about that as well. I hope that there is a new forever home for her very soon. Cat fostering seems to be something that you are very good at and they all certainly seem to be very happy staying with you! I see that others have had link troubles, I have e-mailed you about my link. Happy sunny (I hope!) weekend! xx
ReplyDeleteCameao looks to be a sweet, loving kitty. I'm glad someone is showing some interest in her!
ReplyDeleteI hope Cameo did well at the showing and I hope the inquiry about her turns out to be a positive one.
ReplyDeleteWonderful post and photos Karen . I hope all goes well for the fur babies . Waiting and watching for the sun to peek through the clouds this morning . Thanks for sharing , Have a good day !
ReplyDeleteSounds like things are going well for you and Cameo. Pretty pictures of her enjoying the sun. Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteLove the tomatoes and oranges. I hope Cameo finds her furever home. You are so kind to foster. I, too, had problems with linking. :(
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting!
If it's the robin post, it's there. :)
DeleteI am really enjoying these Sunday posts. Lots of happy thoughts ideas and images. I just looked out our window and finally we have a bit of sunshine!! Yippee!! But there were 8 deer in the road, I'm still mad at them for eating our tomatoes last summer!
ReplyDeleteA step in the right direction for sure and she, as long as there's sunshine, will be happy!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy your Sunlit Sunday; it gets me out of the house on sunny days!
ReplyDeleteThank you for organising the Sunlit Sunday. I am really enjoying reading everyone's posts and the different slant we are all taking. Love discovering new blogs too. Thank you again.
ReplyDeleteI do hope that Cameo and her canine pal have found their forever homes at last.
ReplyDeleteI keep forgetting to link up. Anyway I enjoyed your post and thought the photos of Cameo were especially nice.
ReplyDeleteCameo is adorable and your photos are shinning of light!
