The zoo has gotten a bit bigger...

So, last Tuesday, Shane did some work for PetSmart in the adoption center. Knowing how I can't resist animals who need homes, he sent me pictures of his new "buddies". Well, he also knew that I didn't want to do the pet thing again. What a jerk! LOL! So he insisted that we go down and just look at them. Shane made fast friends with a cat named Adolfo. I, of course, fell in love with 2 different cats. Having done the kitten tearing up the furniture phase, I wanted 2 mellow adult cats and Adolfo is a kitten. For the next 4 days, we talked about getting NO MORE THAN 2 cats. Problem was--which ones? I wanted Mystery and Frenchy and Shane wanted Adolfo and Frenchy. Being the wife, I won.

So, yesterday we took the kids and went to PetSmart. We got there early to ensure that we got Mystery and Frenchy. After waiting and waiting, we found out that someone had already adopted Mystery. And to be perfectly honest, I didn't like Frenchy's attitude. So we spent some time with the other cats and found out a little of their history. Apparently, Adolfo is everyone's (including the other cats) favorite.
And now I can see why. On Wednesday, he had to have surgery on his teeth. His baby teeth weren't allowing the adult teeth through. But you'd never know he was in any pain. Penny's story was very sad. A year and a half ago (when she was only 6 months old) she delivered a litter of kittens and was found, stabbed, in front of the store. She recovered beautifully. She's not at all skittish. So we brought the two of them home. Adolfo took right to all of us. Penny took slightly longer, but since Shane and the kids are off at bowling right now, Penny is really letting her friendly side show. She's actually a bit of a ham.
So here are a few pictures of our new babies...
