Who is this "Thunder" guy??

I've been hearing a lot the last week or so about some special Siberian by the name of Thunder. Mom was spending some time with her "Sibernutter" friends when she saw a post about this guy who was in a shelter in Jefferson, IA. That is only about an hour and a half away from us so she decided to help get him a new home. He was one popular guy!! Several people said they would like to give him a furever home. His new family ended up being in Colorado so Mom left me with Dad fur the weekend and picked up "El Guapo" (the name the nice shelter lady gave him because it means "Handsome one") in Jefferson then snagged Holly's mom (who also left Holly for the weekend) then they picked up another little guy in Salina, KS. His name was Skylar. The gal told them that Skylar had "bitten someone" in his adoptive home, that he didn't like men and didn't like the back of his neck touched. Well, in my mal-opinion, if some stupid guy had been mean to me and hurt my neck I wouldn't like them either and I probably would have asked him to stop with my teeth too!!! Mom didn't think that he even did that because all he did was a little play biting and who hasn't done THAT???
Anyway, they took off and headed across Kansas and into Colorado. They met Ralph who was going to rehab and foster Skylar in Castle Rock, CO. Skylar didn't like him but Ralph got down on the ground and was very patient with him. With the help of a couple livergreat sandwiches he soon had Skylar "eating out of his hand". Mom said livergreat worked wonders!! It was even what got Skylar in Ralph's truck and Ralph was so nice that he didn't mind shaking Mom's hand even though it had livergreat on it!!! Holly's mom has all the pictures of Skylar and I am sure Holly will make her put some of them on Holly's blog....or there will be squishing and smooshing until it happens.

While Skylar was "all puppy" the "Mal-a-Moms" (I think they like that new name) decided that Thunder was actually a cat zipped into a Siberian suit!!! He slept a lot and was a perfect gentleman the entire trip. He was really good with Skylar too! Since his new sister is the legendary Stormy, who is the expert at tissue destruction and re-distribution, they are hoping that she will woo that cat right out of him and help him find his inner-Sibe!

Here are some pictures of the handsome Thunder during his trip and meeting his new family.

Mom said he was a really good c0-pilot....well, until he fell asleep. Which he did a lot! They thought is was maybe some of the quietest time that he might have had in a while.

Yup....this is what he looked like most of the time.

Here he is at his new home....


Hello there new Mommy!!!



Woo don't look like a Siberian! (That's one of Stormy's Pompom brothers JoJo)




That's Holly's Mom and Thunder's new Mom checking him for a zipper. He looks pretty comfortable already, doesn't he???

Mom was very happy to be able to help these two Siberians get new homes and I was furry glad to see her when she got home!! She had visited with the AO4 on the way home and said that my good pal Dave was just one sweet guy AND they gave them their Sunday Salute which meant a lot to Mom. I am glad she got to check Dave out in "fur"son since he and my mal-a-sis Holly are now apparently "promised" to each other. I'll let one of their Moms tell THAT story. She said that I would like all of the AO4 and they put on quite the Siberian skills show. She said they were very gracious hosts and hostesses and that their Mom and Dad were wonderful too.

Maybe next time they take off on one of these excursions they will take me along. Gonna have to work on her with the ole "chocolate browns" a bit more....


High paws to Thunder and Skylar, the Mal-a-Moms and evefurryone that helped these fine boys. That includes all of the Sibernutters who kept them in their thoughts and prayers during the trip. I know that meant a lot to Mom.

Remember to Keep it Furry.....

What an awesome Mom you have, and y'all are so sweet to share her love! Great rescue stories! That was a mighty long trip for a furever home.
Definitely a 10 tail wagging event.

Thanks from the husky cousins in Dallas!
