Pets

I love animals. We saved a bunch of kittens (5 of them!) early this year and are down to 2 brothers. Diagonally and Princess Buttercup (don't laugh, we thought he was a girl!) are both orange and white cats. Buttercup was chosen to be ours when he was able to put up with Drake picking him up and carrying him around like a baby. Diagonally is just so pretty, that we couldn't say no. Plus they have each other to play with when we are asleep at night. Boy do they ever play when we are asleep at night!

Over the weekend we acquired a male Beta Fish thanks to my Mother in Law. The Hubs is stoked about this! He's a beautiful shade of red and I instantly thought "I need a nail polish to match him!"... anyway I ended up getting an email from The Hubs on how to care for a Beta. I thought they were just kept in covered containers because they are jumping fish and said containers were cleaned about once a week. Boy was I wrong! These little fish are much higher maintenance! So, that is the job of The Hubs. I take care of the cats, he takes care of the fish.

When we move to a place with a yard I would love to get a Labradoodle for Drake. I think a dog would be a great companion for a little boy (and his momma and daddy hehe) and would teach him a little responsibility. I hope to accomplish this by his 7th birthday. We'll see :)

Overall, pets are great to have around. They provide hours of entertainment and company. Now, if only I could keep Diagonally from plotting against the fish....
