Shami update week 3!

Hey! It's been three weeks since I brought Shami home from the shelter. Here's the most amazing thing, a week after I brought him home I took him to the vet and he was just 2 lbs. 2 weeks later, he's now 4 lbs! Doubled in weight! Snapped some recent pics for your enjoyment

Shami and his favorite toy, my slipper... He also somehow figured out how to get the yellow ball out of the blue donut, no clue...


Waiting for me to finish checking my email.


Rarrg! You can sort of see his webbed toes in this one.


Doing the superman nap on my lap.

He's beautiful! And he looks very healthy!

How did you resist rubbing that exposed soft tummy? hehe Whenever I see my babies on their back I'm right there giving tummy rubs, lol

And I can't quite figure out that slipper of yours. How do you wear something like that on your foot? It looks like my loofah thingy that I scrub my back with in the shower.

Ooooh - he's lovely! I love his eyes!

He is so handsome his coat looks great and he just looks so healthy, Good for you for fattening him up!

Shami looks absolutely gorgeous! Glad he's doing well!

Where did you get those slippers? Those are so cool and I want some!

Oh, haha, they're a type of Japanese slipper called "waraji" ("wah, lah, jee"). They're really comfy, though you need to becareful with your toes if you walk around on cement (they don't quite extend out that far). I wear them around the house and they're great for sneaking up on people since they don't make a sound (they kinda cup the heel and don't flop around like normal slippers do).

Looks like this when you wear them:

Oh that's the best part! You make them! I don't think anybody ever pays money for these since they wear out so quick (a couple months if worn only inside). Normally they're made out of hemp rope, but I make them out of soft cotton laundry line, a little more durable and nicer feeling. There were instructions online somewhere I'll go look for them again.
