I Swore I Would Never....




Get a pet. At least not the big kind with fur that lives in your house. That's right, I said it. I'm not a cat person, and I'm not a dog person. I'm not even a gerbil person. It turns out that I DO prefer cats to rodents in my garage, however. So my kids get a kitten to love for 3 months until she is old enough to live out of the garage and roam our hill hunting for intruders. Fortunately, my highly allergic husband has been so busy lately, he's hardly suffered any effects from having a pet in the house. It's all coming together. (And I have to admit, she is really cute and she keeps the kids entertained.)

Welcome back, Amy!

My sweet hubbie was just saying the other day how we absolutely NEED to get a cat...i'm not a fuzzy animal person either, so it's not happening anytime soon. I'll let you guys try it out and let me know how it goes, k?

Nick and I still look at each other every now and then & say "I can't believe the Jacksons got a cat!" Glad it seems to be working out for you.

Congratulations on the new addition! My parents didn't like pets much either but we always had a cat to keep the rodents away - my mom even named the cat 'gopher killer'. Fun to see pictures of your kids - Charlotte already looks so much older.
