Meet Zoey!!

While on spring break, our dog Willie was at the kennel.  It was a kennel that we had never used before and the only one in our area with vacancy as I waited until the last minute to decide we needed to get away.  On Friday after our "wonderful" spring break (see prev blog), we headed over to pick up the dog.  Shane sent me in as he is MY DOG!  As I waited for Vickie to go get Willie, the nicest cat was sitting on the counter.  I told Vickie, "My girls would love to take her home."  She said, " You can take her home."  I said, "oh, my husband would never let me take her home.  He says we are done with animals."  I got Willie and away we went.

Oh the way home I told Shane that I met the nicest cat.  She was sooooo SWEET!  She snuggled me while I was waiting on Willie, blah, blah, blah, and I would LOVE to take her home.  He said, (are you sitting down for this??)  "YOU CAN TAKE HER HOME IF YOU WANT".  WHAT??  Hello? Is this Shane talking?? Did an alien take over your brain and mouth and make you say something YOU will regret??  I said, " I can take her home?"  He said, "I don't care."  My heart starts racing, my blood pressure starts rising.  I'm wondering when I'm going to have time to go get litter and food and stuff that cats need.  We later get home from running errands and Piper and I go up to Chloe's room for our afternoon nap.  I sneak my cellphone and call the kennel back and tell them that I DO want to take "momma cat" home and that my husband said we could.  No answer so I leave them a message with my cell phone number and we sleep with it under our pillow.  We wake up and still no call back.  I am dying inside, I'm sooo EXCITED!!  I go to a dr appointment for my sinuses and come home.  Still no call so I leave them yet another message.  UUugghh....

Saturday morning she calls and I ask about her vaccinations, and how she'll get along with a dog and FOUR KIDS!!  She says fine as she has a 2 year old grandson that "momma cat" doesn't bother.  OK we'll take her!!

The girls and I decided to change her name from "Momma Cat" to Zoey!!  She is the tamest and sweetest cat I have ever met!!  (and she Loves Shane)
