Today was a lovely day in Indianaworld. Temps in the 70’s…sunny, kinda windy. Beautiful. We opened all the windows and have been enjoying the day.
I got home from the grocery store this evening and was putting the groceries away with Jonathan and our friend Robbie (er Joseph). I hear this startling meow and purring. I turned around and here is what I see.
That my friend is “Spots”. Turns out that Spots got picked up by the pound last week because she didn’t have a collar. Our neighbors, Kevin & Melanie, who had been feeding Spots went to the pound to go look for her. They gave her all her shots and sent her home with them, freshly adopted.
“Spots” first action after coming home was to first hang out in my garage yesterday afternoon. (I only discovered this when I was leaving with Madeline to pick up Claire and she went dashing out of the garage after knocking down three bottles of weed killer). Today she’s at our window. I knew this would happen if Jonathan fed her. (which he did again tonight.)
The good news is, Spots has a nice home across the street with a loving family and 4 kids who play with her all the time. Claire can go over and visit anytime.
Spots is still at the window, about an hour later, meowing away. We’re soooo doomed.
Hmm, that begs the question…I wonder what Kevin & Melanie actually named the cat.

So what kinda pet ARE you going to get?

Anne, as you know, is allergic to everything alive except humans (mostly…), so it will have to be something not-alive.
Formerly-alive would probably be just as allergenic, so a stuffed-whatever will not work. (Taxidermy is rather a dying art, anyway.)
I am thinking about a concrete gargoyle or garden gnome - definitely not as cute, but they have the hypoallergenic advantage…

Maybe a fish…that’s about all I could take.
