Laila - Oh Where is Laila

I'm having serious Laila withdrawal. It's been weeks! Does anybody know when we could expect to have her back and see new pictures. Where is Julie with our Laila?

I'm with ya! I was just thinking about her again this morning and decided to do a thread search on her...

PLEASE COME BACK TO US, DEAR LAILA!

I'm sure she is all adult-looking by now...we've missed out on some very cute stages of her life

Now I'm depressed!



Anyways:
:bump:
BUMP!!!

:bump:

Goodness, when was the last time we heard from her? December? I miss them!

Hummmmmmmmm, I wonder where Julie and Laila are???????

Hi everyone!

Sorry Susie, took me a while to figure out how the site works.

Hope you guys remember us. It's been such a long time since my last post.

Lots of things have changed and it's been a really tough year for us. Don't know where to begin but here it goes.......

My boyfriend and i broke up and i had to move out. I took Laila with me, but i had to leave my dogs Luka & Mila and my other cat Ally behind because i moved in with my parents and there was no room for them in a one bedroom apartment together with their 80 lbs mountain dog. It was hard, but at least I got to visit them.

Work was a problem for me in Croatia. Salaries are so low there that it was impossible for me to stay there on my own. Living with my parents was not an option, so I decided to move back to NY. It was rough. I had to leave everything there. My beautiful babies. All my stuff. Everything!

In NY I stayed with my brother, but only shortly, because he was moving to Croatia for good. That's when it became real hard. Money was tight, and i had to look for an apt. Took me a while: 3 jobs later, and moving to different apartments 4 times, here I am. I finally have my own apt. I'm still not settled in, since i had to start from scratch (furniture, dishes, linens, TV, PC) but it's OK. I just bought a PC yesterday, and here I am.

Well, here comes the sad part. My dog Mila got hit by a car and died, and Ally went missing. That was so hard for me to deal with because i kept blaming myself for leaving them behind. If you add to this the stress of breaking up, moving and financial troubles, it's safe to assume that had to deal with some depression issues. Let's skip to the good part.

Laila is doing well. She's grown up, but still little for her age. I don't have any new pictures of her on the PC, since i can't find the usb cable for my camera. Sorry guys. For those of you who remember Laila, I'm sure you'd like to see how much she's grown.

In the meantime, here's something that might bring back memories:

Oh my goodness Julie, welcome back!! I'm so glad to hear that Laila is doing well. I think about her often and wonder how she's doing. What a rough start to life she had.

I'm sorry to hear about Mila and Ally, and all the things that have happened to you. I'm glad things are starting to look up for you.

Julie - hi! shivers you've gone thru so much!! nice to see you.

Oh my goodness!! I'm so glad you have found your way back to the site! And there's our little miracle baby-kitten. Laila stole my heart from the first day you posted asking for help with her, and I have to admit that she still holds it.

I've thought often of you and Laila and wondered how both of you were doing. I'm sorry that such difficult times have fell on you. And I'm deeply saddened to hear of Mila and Ally.

Thank you Linda, Heidi and Sam. It's good to be back.

My pc has a memory card slot, so i was able to download pictures without the usb cable. Took me a while to figure that one out.

Here are some pics of Laila. My baby girl all grown up!

Oh look at her!! Such a beautiful girl!

Hard to believe that we were all cheering for her first poopie on her own. She's come such a long way with the love of a wonderful lady.

Goodness hasn't she grown!!!!!

Julie, needless to say when you PM'd me yesterday, I was shocked, happy, thrilled all at the same time! You have tons of friends here and I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that heartache. We're here for you and I'm so glad you found your way back to us! As for Laila, my little angel is all grown up! She looks like my Bailey!! Give her big kisses from me and keep those pics coming!

Laila has to be the first baby here that i remember us doing the poop dance to!

Julie it's so good to hear from you both again And look at that little beauty now!!!

Did we lose Julies thread in the crash does anyone know?, because i'm sure the newer members would love to read it.

I'm sorry to hear about all the problems Julie, along with losing the dogs

We need more pictures Julie, so bring that little girl into fur pages!

Yes, Susan. Unfortunately, it was one of the casualties of the big Crash. However, at that time I searched and found Google's cache of the first 6 pages of that thread. It's still less than 1/2 of the thread and only takes us to when Laila was 17 days old, but it's something. I'll see if I can get that up on the net somewhere tonight.

That would be brilliant Heidi!, I wouldn't mind reading whats salvaged again

Oh my goodness! Our itty bitty kitty is all grown up! What a beautiful young lady she's grown up to be.

Here it is: http://www.savesamoa.org/Laila/index.html It's only the first 6 pages (of 65!), but it gives a glimpse into how this started, and why those of us who were here remember Julie and Laila so well.

She is so lovely! It's truly heartwarming to see little Laila all grown up because of one lovely person who did so much for her. Bless you Julie. I'm also sad to hear you've had such a difficult time, but things will only get better for you I'm sure as we shall all be sending good vibes to you.

Now don't leave us again! We always need folks like you around here so please stick around for us.

PS - Thank you so much for the Laila "fix".

Oi Julie where are you? so scared we're going to lose you again!

I bet you and Laila have a real special bond!!
