Afternoon Nap Buddies

Does it get any more precious than that?

Redemption

I just wanted to share a couple of photos that I recently took of Leo.

Just a quick toss, Mom, to get the static out!

Watch cat.

He's lucky he's cute and can redeem himself after all the trouble that he gets into.

What Do We Need a Dog For??

Drew has been begging me for a dog since we bought our house at the end of February 2009.  He's always grown up having a dog, and well, I haven't.  I have never had a dog for a pet.  It's not that I don't like dogs.  For the most part, I don't have a problem with them.  Well, except for Max, one of Drew's parents dogs.  He decided that he would french kiss me one morning while I was sleeping.  We haven't been friends since.  But, the other Drew's dogs.  I love his dogs!  They are so well behaved and he has trained them so well.  I know that a lot of that has to do with the owner, and he's obviously worked very hard with them.

When I was doing the IUI cycle in November/December, I made the decision that if I got pregnant, I would get Drew a dog for Christmas.  I would have 9 months to train the dog before we had the baby and that seemed pretty good to me.  But, I didn't wind up pregnant, so no dog.  I haven't closed off the idea all together, but we just aren't getting a dog right now.

I always keep telling Drew that we don't need a dog.  We have two cats and they are plenty enough animals for us.  Drew doesn't agree.  But then, when Leo does his "trick", I know that I'm totally right.  We don't need a dog to play fetch with...

See?  What the heck do we need a dog for?

Silly Kitty

Making the bed is always a bit of a PITA when Leo is around. He loves to jump in underneath the covers and run around messing them up. Sometimes, he doesn't even need the covers to play with.

Isn't he just adorable? I love him even if he is a nuisance sometimes.

On Thursday, I dropped him off at the vet so that he could get neutered and declawed. Boy, has he been chill since then. I'm sure that part of it is because he's still in a little bit of pain. He's done very well and was playing when I brought him home on Friday.
