A new addition to our family

This post is done by Andrew:
Before I get to the new addition I want to say that our computer is having issues. We will be without a home computer till sometime next week. Danette is going into withdrawls being able to only talk to kids for a large amount of the day.

Now on to the news of the addition to our family. On Saturday 12/5/2009 we added 2 people to our family. Well . . . we added two kitties. We couldn't decide on just one so that is why we took 2. Their names are winter and lady.



Winter
Winter is peaceful. He is happy sitting all day on your lap.










Lady
Lady is fiesty. She likes playing with her claws. If the youngest two come near she has taken to playfully reaching for them as they jump back thinking she will claw them. This has become a necessary precaution for her, despite our attempts to control them. They both like our recliner as when they have had enough they can hide in it and the kids can't get them out.

Congratulations! Where did you get them? Were they already pals before? If so, they'll probably be great together.

I have a friend who had one dog and he whined and barked all day long and then they finally got another dog and they were both the happiest dogs together. I think animals like having a little pal.

I hope your kids are nicer to them than we were to our pets! I remember sticking Midnight in the microwave. Sad, sad. I definitely didn't know I was doing a bad thing, but still sad.

We got them both from a local farm here. They knew each other before hand and play really good together(at night when the kids are in bed). Winter is Lady's uncle, even though they are only like a week apart in age. Lady's mother abandoned her and winters mother adopted her, till we got them.

Cool. Pets are fun and a great learning tool!
