The vet told me that the only difference between having a labby puppy and and a real baby, is that the real baby is going to grow up talking back to you. Otherwise, quite similar. <br /><br />Elza is also a bit of "be careful what you wish for". She is a demanding little thing and thrives on attention and love. <br /><br />It's always good to know you are not alone, don't you think? You are always welcome to pop by here. <br /><br />Thanks for the visit, we'll chat again soon.

My sister-in-law and brother-in-law struggle with infertility, as well, and it's such a lonely path. In fact, they struggled with it for three years before they shared it with anyone. And it broke my heart to know they were going through it alone. I'm happy you and Elza found each other! <3<br /><br />By the way, I have a solid white kitty named Sophie that could be Elza'a twin. She's sassy, a little bit snobby, and loves to sleep on my pillow behind my head. ;)Dedra @ A Book Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17664763743598178983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612320880156366525.post-44146366246852609802020-11-14T19:43:03.420+02:002020-11-14T19:43:03.420+02:00Hi Lindsey!

My h...Hi there Debbie, Elza truly is a perfect fit. My husband send me a video of Elsa from Frozen this morning and we were both laughing so hard! Little Elza is just af fierce. And I needed that. I do sometimes look at her and think, yea - be careful what you wish for. She can be a handful. <br /><br />She was very much like a real baby up until a few months ago. Doesn't sleep through and don't for one second think she is okay to entertain herself. She WILL wake you up at the most ungodly hours. Breakfast is required strictly at 06:00, 7 days a week. Do not try to ignore this. <br /><br />She is also a very needy little thing. She constantly wants to be with me and be cuddled and loved. Luckily she is highly intelligent and did learn very quickly to sleep BEHIND the laptop! <br /><br />Hope you had a good week and that you are enjoying a good weekend.

Stinkie, my black one who has also made his appearance here on the blog, I've picked up and had to hand feed. He was only about 10 days old. He is now just a bit smaller than an actual puma (joking, but he is really really huge!) and king of the neighborhood. Then my aunt passed away two years ago and she had a cat that landed here with us. He is a big loner as he was used to being the only pet and all the attention. He does sneak in at night and sleeps on my bed though. <br /><br />Agatha Christie had knowledge of human nature beyond believe! It's amazing. I do believe that is why her stories are so popular even during our modern day and times.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will have a wonderful weekend!

When it's only us, she is all over the place though! My black cat, Stinkie, who has also had his appearance on the blog, doesn't mind people at all. You can even pick him up! <br /><br />I will still recommend all the books I've shared. The Light between Oceans is a brilliant read. But I will advice to read the book before you watch the movie.<br /><br />The last train to London is based on true events. Writing is not that strong, but the story is remarkable and will touch anybody deeply.<br /><br />Hope you will have a lovely weekend!

Most of the cats we've had in the family over the years have been rescues, but they've provided so much comfort, company, and laughs in return. Members of the family for sure! Happy anniversary!<br /><br />I usually try to avoid heartbreaking, tragic reads for the most part because we get that enough in real life. I don't like my entertainment to make me sad. Agatha Christie does have quite a lot of tragic stories contained in her murder mysteries, right? I do love that usually there's retribution, even if not in a conventional way at times.
