I finally get it...

No... not how to blog every week, month, quarter -- that I obviously struggle with still -- But I FINALLY get all those crazy couples who fall in love with their little pets. For the longest time I thought it was absolutely RIDICULOUS that people would bring pictures of their pets to work, talk non-stop, get babysitters, spend A LOT of money, and even call their friends crying about pet illnesses... BUT I FINALLY GET IT.

Say Hello to Ramsey!!!!!



No I am not totally obsessed and this is just a crumby picture I took with my cell phone, but I love having another little "thing" around to keep me entertained. He is our little pharaoh -- and we already spent too much on taking him to the vet.
We got him from this lady at work; she has at least 17 cats running around her backyard/farm and was wondering what to do with some of them. Her daughter lives across the street and had a whole nother batch of indoor kitties that were living in the closet and about to burst. SO I asked if I could keep one for a year, and then if we moved, give it back to live in her backyard. She said yes and I ended up with the cutest little thing living in our house! He is fully potty trained FROM DAY 1. How many people can say that about their children?! Even when he was sick and had what my dad calls "the squirts" he did all his business in the kitty litter! He is great and likes to sleep in our bed, though inevitably we have to kick him out because he gets bored/hungry around 2 AM and thinks biting my ears is a good way to get attention. OK, now I'm done rambling about my kitty because I am not, repeat am NOT totally obsessed.

Yes, eventually I will have children and not be ever so thrilled about the cat. But in the mean time I love my little pussy!!!!
