Guilted By Cuteness

Outside of fish, we didn't really have pets growing up. As Jason got married and moved away, he has had a dog as a pet. We live between houses that own 1 and 2 dogs respectively, go to a small group that has dog owners and have a roomate that grew up with cats.

It took us until now. We had been convinced we would likely never own pets. Until...

Sometimes you are just pulled in by the cuteness of a newborn animal. One of Jenny's old high school friends happens to be the proud owner of a new litter of kittens. They just don't want all of them.

We stopped by tonight to hang out and they convinced us (really the cuteness did) that we would be great pet owners. It is a black cat, so besides the jokes of bad luck, we have affectionately named it "snowball" after the cat from The Simpsons.

So far no messes, but i'm guessing it is only a matter of time. Sorry if you have cat allergies, our house will now be that place. Let's just hope that the neighbor's dogs don't eat her.

If you know me and Jenny at all, you would have known for a while now that this is an April Fool's Joke. I could never own a cat, maybe with lots of twisting and bribery a dog, but probably not that either.

Anyway, congrats to the Wildcats in KY on their new hire. Go Blue.
