We’re going to look at kittens tomorrow night. We have to go to Houston because apparently the Central Texas area a) doesn’t have a lot of Siamese breeders to begin with and b) none of them have bluepoints.<\/p>\n
Yes, I know, we should adopt a pet from the shelter. I did adopt a pet from the shelter once. A sweet little puppy who had horrible health problems, including bordatella, suspected parvo, and eventually ended up being so allergic to something in our house that I had to give her away before she died. A $2000 pound puppy whom I kept for something like 5 months and didn’t get a wink of sleep during all that time because the poor thing was up all night coughing and gasping for air and I had to keep her close by in a crate with a humidifier and listen to make sure she was breathing because there were a couple of nights that she could hardly get a breath and we had to go to the emergency clinic at 3 in the morning.<\/p>\n
So anyway, that got me soured on pets that I couldn’t see where they came from and look at their parents and get a health guarantee.<\/p>\n
Uh, I had something else to say. Oh yeah, so anyway we’re going to Houston, a 3 hour drive, tomorrow night to look at kittens and I talked to the breeder this afternoon and asked her to send me a picture. She agreed, and said she’d email road directions too. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to see the pictures of the kittens. I’m getting excited about a kitten. I haven’t had one for 12 years. But she never sent pictures, so now I can’t go to sleep envisioning my future kitty.<\/p>\n
Names I’m considering:<\/p>\n
Pyewackett (current favorite, kids like it too)
\nMaximus
\nClaudius
\nNero
\nKoKo<\/p>\n
Recent weird kid quote… I laid down on the floor. Jo laid next to me. Caroline got indignant in wiggled between us.<\/p>\n
Me: We’re making a sandwich!
\nJo: Yup. There’s cheese on the left.
\n(Caroline sits up)
\nJo: Uh-oh, the ham’s getting up!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
