Buckshot and I both love animals, and because of our frequent weekend long fishing trips, a dog didn’t seem like a good way to go (not to mention he would have to double as a hunting dog, and I wasn’t all over the idea of a big dog in the house). So, a cat seemed the way to go – Buckshot grew up with and loves cats, and I suppose they are kind of cute.
Alright, so Tuesday we saw some kittens on the Humane Society page, and called….. they were long gone, but we decided to check out some of the cats there. We played for about two hours with several of them, and just didn’t really fall head over heels in love with any of them. On our way out we asked about kittens, and they said kittens went right away. She told us that people line up before they are open to get them. So, we figured a kitten was out for us until summer when they get litter upon litter in of them. Yesterday, I went out on the page to see what was out there, and there was this kitten – 8 weeks old, and SOOO adorable. She’s long gone I figured and shut down the internet. 2 hours later Buckshot calls me at work…. “Have you been on the HS page?? There is the cutest kitten out there…. I wonder how long she lasted?” I told him I was sure she was gone, but he asked me to call anyway. Long story short…. “Speedo” was still there, AND “Speedo” has a sister….. Buckshot couldn’t bear to seperate the two playmates, and so now we have two brand new fur babies at our house.
The HS called them Speedo and Shy, but we don’t like “Shy” at all (mostly because she’s not), and I think “Speedo” is a boy name. Any good fishing/hunting name ideas??
This is one…..
