Our newest addition

Meet Abbi our sweet 10 week old kitten. We weren't planning on adding another pet to our family and we certainly were not going to do it 4 days before we left for vacation. But, like all things, God's plan was obviously quite different than ours.

Yesterday the girls and I were at the uniform store buying Sarah's things for school. As we were waiting in line, Sarah looked out of the window and saw these words on the marquee next door, "Abandoned Kittens need loving homes". Sarah begged me to just go and take a look. Reluctantly I agreed.

Once we went in to the vet's office I knew we were not leaving without one of the cute little bundles. There were 8 of the sweetest looking kittens ever. However, that's not what hooked me. It was their story. A woman brought the kittens in and explained that they were in her neighborhood and a dog was going around killing the babies. So, she gathered them up in hopes of finding homes for them.

So, I told the girls that we would talk about the kitten at dinner and if their Dad agreed we would bring one home AFTER our trip this weekend. The vet tech agreed that they would keep the kitten until Tuesday for us. Not good enough, the girls wanted Dad to come and see the kitten NOW.

So, I called Dave who, after hearing what I was asking, began to yell, "NO MORE CATS"!! I listened and then asked him when he could get to the vet's office. WIthin 15 minutes he was there. Within 2 minutes of his arrival, he promptly fell in love with Abbi deemed that if she was coming home then he got to name her. Dave calls her Fish Bait, we call her Abbi.

Welcome home Abbi. Now if we can just convince Duchess and Clarence to like you then peace will reign once again!
