Preparing for chaos

Data came rushing down the stairs when he heard me messing around with a bag of cat food. Sorry bud, that’s for THE KITTENS!

And now that we have kitten food, we’re “ready” for them to come home! The male got neutered yesterday, and the female is getting spayed today. The vet called me today to ask what names I want on their microchip registration so yeah… this is really happening. Ahhh!

(With our work schedules, the earliest we could pick them up would be Thursday. They haven’t called to say we can yet, and we definitely want them to convalesce there!)

      We told them Apollo and Starbuck! We’ll see if those names “feel” right after they live with us for a while!

      Thank you!!!!! I just found out the girls are not getting fixed until next week now. I feel so dumb for getting so excited this week!

        Oh no!! What a tease!! Well, all the more time to talk to Data about being respectful of his new baby brother and sister – and Khali, assuming she needs that talk, too 😛

          Yes! You are right! I will use this time to my advantage! (And thanks for putting a positive/humorous spin on it – I was feeling quite mopey and this helped!)

      I think so – they are so crazy together at the Vet’s!

    Yay! This is so exciting for you! And for Data (maybe?). It’s great that you are adopting both. Double the fun!
    I have to admit that I’d LOVE to get another dog, and I think that Sammy, our current pup, would be pretty happy with the company. But, I’m not quite ready for ALL THE DOG HAIR.

      Totally double the fun! I am happy they can stay together and my bestie who lives 5 miles away is adopting their mom!

      Oh gosh, yeah. How do you handle it now?!
