The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn


We'd like to introduce the newest addition to our lovely home, Mister Huckleberry Finn. He is 12 weeks old and a purring machine. Finn entered my world at the PAWS adoption center here on Bainbridge Island. I wasn't really looking for him. I was looking for a trap to get the last feral kitten out of Islandwood and into a safe home. I was talking to the woman about how to get the little rascal that kept getting away from us and oh, wait, who is THAT cute muffin-head? That was it. Pretty much sealed the deal. Pete didn't require any convincing. His response was: okay, I'll meet you at PAWS at 5pm tomorrow to meet the little bugger. In fact its quite hard to type as he is on my left shoulder purring in my ear.

He's here for many reasons. One, I love cats and haven't had one since I left home at 18. Two, my body and spirit wants babies, but we aren't ready yet. Finn will be our baby for a while. Pete wants another male in the house. Cats are fun. I guess that about sums it up.

What else is a happenin? Pete got a new job in the big city. Sounds amazing. We'll see. The garden is fully fabulous. We munch from it alot and can't wait for the tomatoes. Big and fun plans arising for the house. Summer programs are nuts at IslandWood and I have working my booty off. We set a date for our wedding August 30th 2008. It's gonna rock. Pez.
