Dear Diary,
Whoa! I only have time for a quick entry this week because I’ve been très busy, but I still wanted to update you on the big news in my life.
Finally, after nine long months of waiting on the HR Department, I met my new protégé, Ms. Connor Claire (please don’t call her CC).
I have to admit — we got off to a rocky start. When I introduced myself, the first thing she did was cry, so, obviously, I’m going to have to teach her business etiquette.
I’m very excited about taking her paw under my wing and showing her the ways of the kitty modeling world.
First item on the agenda: build her a wardrobe of stylish fashion basics. Everything will be covered in tabby cats, of course.
Affectionately,
Tabs

March 6th, 2016 at 5:59 pmOMG Tabs seems so shy ?!
Kwmechelle says
March 6th, 2016 at 6:04 pmTHANK YOU FUR THIS!!! Yes, I’m screaming this. But meeting Connor, who I’ll refrain from calling CC (as in Coco Chanel), is worthy of a scream or two. Hope you guys are enjoying amazing cuddling time. And that she & Tabs become best buds. Btw, they both make great models ?

March 6th, 2016 at 6:16 pmAwww congrats! She’s totes adorbs!!
Lulle says
March 6th, 2016 at 6:23 pmAdorable! It’s too funny how poor Tabs freaks out for a minute, with a “what on earth is that creature!” look on his face! 😀

March 6th, 2016 at 6:27 pmShe is so cute! Tabs, you’ll get used to her! You won’t be able to resist her charms!
Suzanne C says
March 6th, 2016 at 6:30 pmHahaha! They were both like “WTH!?!?” I promise not to call her CC; in fact, I don’t think I could call her anything but Connor Claire. It’s funny how some names just fit instantly. My great niece is Mykaela or Shortcake or Mikey (like her dad was), but I already know the new baby will be MacKenzie Skye, both names.
Cheryl says
March 6th, 2016 at 6:34 pmTabs, your baby sis is just perfect!!!! 🙂 I’m jealous!
Denise M says
March 6th, 2016 at 6:43 pmTabs, after the initial tears, Connor Claire looks very comfortable ensconced between you and Mom. So thoughtful of you to get her suitably outfitted with the tabby cat wardrobe. Enjoy getting to know your protégé…
Charlotte says
March 6th, 2016 at 6:43 pmAwww. I love the cat bib. And I may have to just get a pair of those kitty socks for myself! Congratulations on your new protege Tabs! 🙂 Charlotte (Mesa and Pashmina’s mom)

Chelsea says
March 6th, 2016 at 7:45 pmConnor is so cute, and the pokey dot outfit is on point.
Tabs, I’m sure she’ll warm up to you and make a great new assistant if you give her some time! Love the tabby cat gear from Gymboree!
Allison C says
March 6th, 2016 at 8:00 pmPoor Tabs wondering who is this cute little interloper! I’m sure Connor Claire will wrap him round her little finger soon enough!

Mimibelle says
March 6th, 2016 at 11:10 pmMy goodness you seem so relaxed and chilled with it all. The minute I heard that ‘machine gun’ cry that weeny babies do, all my maternal cells jumped into action yet you were so cool with it. that baby has a cool momma!

March 7th, 2016 at 3:19 amWhat a spectacularly beautiful couple you and Connor Clare make, Tabs!
Kim says
March 7th, 2016 at 5:27 amDon’t take it personally, Tabs – I’m sure you two will be fast friends in no time. 🙂 And, I applaud your excellent kitty instincts. Your cousins always came running when their small assistants cried, too!
PS I has the same thought as KWMECHELLE above. I see a lot of Chanel logo bling in Connor Claire’s future. 🙂
KK says
March 7th, 2016 at 5:37 amCongratulations Karen! She is just perfect!!!
I hope your healing fast, I had 3 c-sections and all I
Can say is take your colace!!! 😉

Gina, Tony, & Gracie.
Ruchita says
March 7th, 2016 at 6:15 amOh Tabs, how exciting! You will make a great big brother and Miss Connor is sure to be the best dressed girl on the block. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures together. 🙂
Jennifer says
March 7th, 2016 at 6:17 amTabs, I can’t tell if you’re disgusted that Connor is so young or if you’re hopeful that she will be your best protégée ever or discouraged at the thought of all the work ahead of you!
But, I have every confidence that you can Connor Claire can have a successful working relationship.

Pamela Haddad says
March 7th, 2016 at 11:40 amShe is adorable, Karen! And I love the photo of Tabs who looks like he’s already protecting her!
Mitzi says
March 7th, 2016 at 11:41 amOh Tabs! I bet you’re relieved your assistant is back home, and with your new assistant in training with her! Although it wasn’t scheduled in your busy appointment book, it looked like the meeting went well (after the initial surprised look on both your faces). Ms Connor Claire’s squeaks was no doubt due to her excitement in meeting you, and her being unable to contain that excitement!
Very happy to see you are back home, Karen! Though hospitals are somewhat comfortable, there’s really no place like home to be able to relax and start adjusting to being a mom. :).
Melissa says
March 7th, 2016 at 12:07 pmShe is just such a beautiful baby girl! That was so precious how you introduced Tabs & Connor! Just think not to long they will be best Buds!! I love Baby Girls Name SO MUCH!! She came out of the womb So Chic & with the Prettiest Momma!! Congrats! ❤️??

March 14th, 2016 at 6:31 pmKaren you are a true animal lover….just your approach to Tabs and explaining that Connor is a friend…that says it all and how you respect Tabs’ feelings. I can imagine all the new smells Tabs is experiencing and must be frightening! But as we all see here, what a good mommy role model you are to Tabs, you’re gonna do just fine with Connor. Also, thanks for sharing such an intimate part of your life with us – your fan base! Happy mommy chronicles!! Be well!!
