I was going to keep this quiet until she arrived but I can't keep it in anymore because my husband has become more and more excited about it which has made everything feel so much better.
So most of you know what happened with the boys breeders which were the circumstances with which Hugo came to join us. She has Lupus and her cattery is being affected by this and so she asked us to take Hugo. I've been helping her where I can but I really don't know how she does it and she has had to sterilise most of her queens and neuter the only stud she had left. She knows how much I love Graddy's mom - Emy-Blue so she asked me to take her
Of course I had to think it over (even though I knew there was no way I was going to let her go to a stranger's house) and talk to my husband who OF COURSE wasn't too thrilled about it. I had a hard enough time convincing him that we needed Hugo but he is finally on board and he said he is so happy that Graddy is going to have his real mom and his 'hooman-mom' 
too. We just have to pay for her HCM test and her spay and she'll be ours.
Some sad news is that Hugo's mom had to have an emergency Caesarian on Tuesday and then had to be operated on in the early hours of the morning due to complications but she is okay now and so is the lone baby she had but he doesn't seem to be growing
I'm so excited but of course she can't come until we move to the bigger place and after our trip to my ancestors in Scotland this July. We have to give them a trial period of three weeks before we know for sure if she'll be happy with us and the boys. But I'm sure she will be. The breeder doesn't think Graddy will remember her but he is such a love bug I'm sure he'll see her as a sweet older sister but Hugo will probably remember her as he last saw her a couple of months ago.
Here are some pics. I think she is just so beautiful! Graddy gets his loud mouth from her...oh no...
her as a kitten -she was the first female of the cattery
kitten Emy-Blue (she'll be 3 when she joins us
here she is with Hugo's mom and note she is is having a chat with the humans
She reminds me of Graddy's 'just woken-up' face in this one
She loves dogs- which I'm hoping we'll be able to have in the FAR future
I just hope this all works out. I've always wanted a girl and with her coloring which is my favourite. Happy Sunday all. Hugo and Graddy send lots of kisses!

yea I LOVE her name. Definitely going to keep it. I'm not sure how Hugo is going to act towards her seeing as he still has his grumpy pants on. But maybe they'll surprise me and all love each other immediately (please please
