The Moose Man is gonna be fine!


Sooooooooooo, Xerxes, my kitty cat, ate a penny. No, he's not the smartest cat in the litter. But he's really cuddly!

We went to the vet. They sent me to another vet. I left that vet ($2500 for surgery -- are you NUTS?!) and went to another vet. FINALLY, someone who could perform the surgery and take care of my boy... capable and reasonable.

I brought him in this morning, confirmed his ailment, and left him in the hands of an awesome doctor.

Got a phone call a few minutes ago and found out that my boy is going to be fine. He's spending the night at the doctor's office, and I will most likely pick him up tomorrow.

WHEW! Big sigh of relief!

Sooooo, Mandy and I decided to have a girls' afternoon. She's settling into her apartment, so I just wanted to hang out and see how things are going. Without any BIG plans in mind, we decided to go for lunch then to check out pet adoptions at the local PetSmart.

Mandy had her heart set on a dog. A small dog like a poodle or a bichon frise. Alas and alack, there were no small dogs for adoption at the PetSmart. In fact, there were only just a couple of cats.

So, there I go, opening my big mouth -- I wonder where the Humane Society is? Yeah... 10 minutes later we were pulling into the parking lot. 15 minutes later we were checking out the puppies and adult dogs they had available for adoption. 30 minutes later we realized that there weren't any small dogs... all of the puppies were going to grow into large dogs or into chihuahuas (we're not sure which is worse.)

Well, let's just look at the cats, I suggested. Just a small suggestion. I wanted to see the purr babies and perhaps play with a kitten or two before we headed out for the rest of the afternoon.

BIG MISTAKE! Not too sure what Dr. G is going to do now... she has fallen in love with a 2 month old black kitten named Gadget. He is too precious. He cuddled and played and stole her heart. He's currently on hold for her. Tomorrow, a decision. I have a feeling that Inspector Gadget is going to be a new member of the family.

So much for getting a dog...
Hi, I'm Tess! I'm a wife, a mommy, a friend, a teacher, a singer, a scrapper, a writer, a laugher, and a "wannabe" dancer. These are my ramblings... enjoy!
