Welcome Jack and Cola!



Hey bloggers - check out this update! Here's the email I sent to Peg's Legs today in case you missed it:

Aloha Peg's Legs,

We have exciting news to share...and no, THIS IS NOT an April Fool's joke! The Chun household has adopted 2 new feline friends to keep Peggy and the Peg's Legs crew entertained! Jack and Cola are brother and sister cats, just under a year old.

We adopted them from "Joey's Feline Friends", a privately owned, non-profit, no-kill shelter dedicated to the care of homeless, abused, and physically challenged cats.

Teddy, who founded "Joey's", came by with our friend Gail today with 4 cats that needed homes. They basically just let them loose at Peggy's to see if Peggy connected with any of them and vice versa. It was so fun seeing them all cruise around the house and climb all over Peggy - she loved it!

Of course Peggy wanted to keep all of them! But after much discussion (we
especially had to make sure Elroy was OK with the adoption plan) we decided that Jack and Cola were perfect for the Chun Ohana.

Jack and Cola are black just like Sara/"Boo" was. They are very loving and playful. It is hard to tell them apart, but Jack has a short stunted tail and Cola is a little smaller. The best part is they love Peggy and Peggy's room. They are very comfortable climbing all over Peggy - so comfortable in fact, that we have to keep an eye on them since they want to step across her tubes to kiss her face!

Jack and Cola did meet Bug (Peggy's 16 year old big orange cat that basically lives in the driveway) and they seem to get along well enough. Jack and Cola prefer the indoors - they like to be where the people are, so we think it will work out nicely.

So that's the big news here. Peggy's health has been stable. She has been working on more nose painting and is looking forward to Easter fun with the kids.

We wish you all a very happy Easter!

Me ke aloha,

The Chun Ohana
