This is Polly our little foster poly-dactyl. She won't get much bigger than she is, but she certainly has a huge personality. From the moment we brought her in, she was home, whether we liked it or not. She knew my wife was the main caregiver and would snuggle and rub up against her constantly. She and her 3 sisters were from a colony in the area that were rescued. We took them in. The other 3 have since moved on and have been adopted and doing well.
Polly on the other hand, we had to foster longer because she was too small to spay. She finally got big enough. Since the spay we need to make sure she doesn't lick the wound. Most of the time we cone them, somewhat reluctantly, but it is usually the best way.
In Polly's case, my wife made her a little onesie.
Here she is being "dressed"

(4,338 posts)We will be keeping her. Like I said she walked into our lives like she belonged. She loves cuddles, loves sleeping with my wife and I. She will crawl under the covers and literally flop into one of us, tuck in and be asleep in seconds.
When relaxing watching tv she will walk up your chest, and start licking your nose. She sees that as a way to endear herself even more. She has the stinkiest breathe and yet, it's most welcome.
So that would make 2 foster fails in a little over 2 years.
Our first was Poe....

That will be it for a while. I hope.

Poe is a beauty.
Good idea on the sweater too.
