Animal Love

Jack saying goodbye to the kitty.

We have had a couple of interesting weeks involving our animals. First, we have said goodbye to a loved member of our family. Our kitty, who we had for about five years, has found a new home. She actually went back to our friends who originally gave her to us. We have thought about giving her away for sometime, but have loved her so much that we had a hard time actually doing it. But, Jack is not the softest when it comes to animals and Zoe definitely did not respect the kitty's personal space. My friend, Celeste, called and asked if we would consider giving them the kitty since her daughter loooves cats, especially white ones and they desperately wanted a pet. We thought about, talked to Jack about and finally decided that it would be best for her if she went to a less crazy household where she wouldn't be tormented by little boys or dogs. She was seriously the best cat ever and we loved her a lot. We are happy that we can see her anytime we want and that she has a good loving house now. Jack talks about her every now and then, but Zoe keeps him fully occupied for the time being. It is working out for all of us. Jason especially loves not having a litter box to clean!

After we gave the cat away, we got Zoe spayed. We knew her "time" was just around the corner and I definitely didn't want to deal with that. We found a vet and took her in. It was really nice to have her so calm for a couple of days and it was nice for Jack to have a chance to take care of her. She has since become a little bit more a part of our family and we have learned to love her a little more. Jack especially loves her to death. It is worth it to have her to see them play together. She seems to miss the cat, however. :)
