Our Newest Addition

Well the start of school has been a very interesting one for Marc and myself. It had been filled with finding books, attending classes, homework, studying, and lots of being in different rooms as we work. Now all of those things are normal for the start of school but we found ourselves finding a surprise on Tuesday. It started when I found out my "back-ordered" books were actually sitting on the shelf at the bookstore. I grabbed Marc and rushed out to buy the latest books in our book buying spree. As we left we noticed there were two very young kittens under our apartment complex. Now there is a set of cats that lives under there but the kittens are always with an adult cat. These two little ones were all alone and getting to the point it was all skin and bones. We went on to the bookstore and discussed what we would do if we went back and found them still sitting there. Part of the problem with their location is it is right next to the dog park and these little ones wouldn't have stood a chance defending themselves. We still hadn't decided what we were going to do when we got home but we went to see if the kittens were there anyway. I knew from growing up not to touch them unless we were going to take them because our scent would be on them. We walked up and sure enough one little one was still there and meowing quite loudly. We sat there and kept debating and all the sudden this little one was coming out to meet us. All of the sudden this kitten was chasing Marc up and down and back up the sidewalk again. I had warned Marc about not touching the kitten and so he was backing away and yelling for help because he didn't know what to do. I about died of laughter because you would have thought that a bear was chasing Marc and not a harmless kitten. At that point we both got the impression that we needed to take her with us. So off we went with this tiny little thing in our arms to try and make her our own. Trust me the story doesn't end here. :)
