As you can tell by this wonderful picture we received a free kitty named Dippins (Quinn insisted that we keep the name her original owner's gave her - we think it's pretty cute). Shelby has lugged this poor kitty around everywhere and she just purrs. Quinn is ecstatic, any animal is good for her! Jessi & Josh are happy to take a turn but don't seem to mind if it's only for a few minutes (they're happiest in the treehouse).
Now the only sad news is that we took Dippins to Glenns Ferry with us over the 4th of July weekend and Grampa accidentally ran over her. We're lucky though because Dippins has a brother that looks almost identical to her and Quinn's bringing him home tomorrow. Cross your fingers that he is just as mellow as his sister. We haven't told Shelby, Josh, or Jade yet so we'll see what happens. Quinn & Jessi are still in Glenns Ferry and had a beautiful funeral for her with lots of flowers they told me.

Oh! Sarah, that is so sad...
I can't believe that! Poor Dippins. I am very glad they had a replacement. That was one loved kitty!!
That sounds like our luck. So sorry - hopefully the replacement is a good kitty too.
Beautiful is not exactly how I would have phrased it. I'm not sure if it was Jessi's song or Anna's song that drove the "final nail in the coffin"(meaning Aunt Mindi had a hard time contain herself). The lamenting was great, the tears freely given and when the suggestion for ice cream came, all was forgotten!! I will always treasure the memory, Thanks Dippins....
