Last October we adopted a cat from the PAWS group. At the time, Spike was still around and he did not have a fondness for cats, so I specifically asked for the biggest Tom they could find, but one that was still friendly enough for Tess to pet. They found the perfect match for us.
Tess aptly named him Kitty Cat, although sometimes his name is Frenchup. I have no clue where that came from, or what it means. Kitty Cat used the wicked weather we have been having as an excuse to hang out in the house, so I snapped some photos. He has an enourmous number of toes, but also has enormous patience with Tess.
Even after it being in the 40's and 50's yesterday and today, we still have several drifts as big as my car and more snow in the forecast tonight.
Tess at the Easter Egg hunt in Glendo put on annually by the volunteer fire department . This is the only photo where she is not a complete blur. Since it was snowy outside, it was held in the gym. All the kids waited at one end of the gym and the eggs were spread out on the floor. When the whistle blew, Tess ran all the way to the other end of the gym without stopping. Only after she got there did she remember this was about the eggs. But, working backwards turned out to be the way to collect many, many eggs. She was also very proud that she still had the Easter basket that her uncle Brian and aunt Maggie gave her last year.
This is our new pup! He is three weeks old, so we wont be seeing him for a few more weeks.
