Introducing....Antoinette!

In the end, we didn't end up getting any of those pets. Three of the Four (all except Putnam) had already been adopted! I guess that's what we get for going on Valentine's Day!

We ended up getting a cat named Antoinette. She is a gorgeous, midnight black. As her name implies, she is a diva. And we have catered to that by getting her a sparkly pink collar. The whole reason we got her was because we didn't want a "stand-offish" cat. She was the friendliest and snuggled into our necks. It was adorable.












But don't be fooled. She is an affection whore. She must be receving attention and chin scratching 24/7 or she'll walk on your head until you do.

I've been doing some research on how to fix the problem. Any suggestions??

New TwentySomething Baby!

It's time for the first addition to our family!

A pet! I made you a little nervous, huh? It's time for a vote. Which kind of pet should we adopt? We went to the animal shelter yesterday and here are our top choices:

-Joe Moe: a brown, short-haired tabby cat. When we got to the shelter, he was definitely trying to get our attention. As soon as we opened the cage door, he crawled onto my chest to be held. Definitely a sweetheart!
-Horatio: a terrier/schnauzer mix. He was such a sweet, snuggly looking lap-dog. He was calm...a people, er dog-watcher.
-Macy: a beagle/blue healer mix. She is a medium sized dog that snuggled up to my hand when I pet her, but was ready for a good run when we went for a walk. Seems like a good mix of energetic, but peaceful.
-Putnam: a black dachshund! I opened the cage and he darted off in his little sweater. By the time I caught him, he was shaking and scared. I picked him up and he burrowed into my neck. His nerves calmed a bit as I held him.


Okay, in making your selection, try to disregard the fact that one of them is named Horatio. How awesome is that?! We want to even the playing field as much as possible.

Rock the Vote!
