So much for our empty nest...
We inherited Ashlea's cats yesterday. Tyler drove all the way from Louisville with them, and they were pretty wired when they arrived. Today is going better, but let's just say it's going to be an adjustment. Tyler left this afternoon for his ten week service at Camp Barakel, so the whole situation is giving me a slight case of anxiety. Somehow the trade-off (two cats for Ty) isn't my idea of a good deal. Ty assured me though that the cats would be just as entertaining...maybe more so. Ashlea named the cats Beatrice and Phoebe, but I told her were going to call them some ridiculous names like Bubbles and Pebbles. The gray cat is Beatrice...part Siamese with an attitude to go with her lineage. The other one is Phoebe, the psycho cat...smaller, more affectionate but also more aggressive. They already managed to knock a lamp off the end table. Neither is 'fessin' up, but Phoebe took off running, so I'm assuming she's the guilty one. I know my anxiety will eventually pass; in the meantime, I'll be reading my newly acquired Cooking for Two magazine. ; )

Is this a temporary assignment? I thought you had a dog, Andre or something like that.

I think this is temporary (at least one year though), but who knows? Andre died four years ago, and we thought we were done with pets.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know about Andre. I'm sorry. One year, huh? We've heard that story before. :) Remember Shane?
