Pitter patter paws

This week we decided to take the plunge and adopt a pet for Summer. Carl, our beloved rottweiler passed away from old age (12.5) 2 years ago and our cat Sneakers, passed away over 4.5 years ago - and our life has become so busy, it was hard to fathom making room for a pet.

That said, we knew a dog is not yet in the cards for us. Too much time away from the house, too many long days, etc. So we thought it could be time to adopt a cat.

I mentioned it to Don on Tuesday. As we were leaving the house in the morning, Summer was having a conversation with her stuffed cat Gilvert. It was just the cutest thing... and I thought - I think Summer is ready for a real cat.

Don, who has not been really keen on the idea of a cat, kind of rolled his eyes. But then that evening, checked out the Humane Society website and had a cat picked out. LOL

Come Wednesday morning, he had visited the humane society, filled out the paper work and we were ready to pick up our Cat on Friday afternoon.

Welcome George - a beige tabby - surrendered by his elderly owner who is moving into a home. He is a mellow two year old who is settling in just fine to his new surroundings - once he decided to come out from under the bed :-)
