A cat named TuTu

This is our cat TuTu and we are joining Lucy's pet party over at Debbie-Doos  .. wanna go?  Just hop on over and show off your pet

This is TuTu.  We got her in Sept of 2009 right around the time of our 22nd anniversary.  So I figured if I named her Tutu (for 22) it would help me to remember how old she is.  Funny?  Weird?  Yeah, i know but i'm wierd like that.  Anyway our daughter, Amberly, that works at a day care called one afternoon and said they had several kittens that had been abandoned somewhere around the daycare and was trying to find homes for them.  Now let me just tell you.  I have always loved cats.  I had the most beautiful cat named Smokey when i was growing up.  She was very unique and special.  However, I married a guy that has never liked cats so needless to say we have never had one since we've been married.  I have no idea what made her call and ask us if we wanted it.  She knows her daddy well.  But he said yes.She was, I'm guessing, only around 3 or 4 weeks when we got her. We bottle fed her for 2 or 3 weeks.   She was so easy to train and is very smart.  As she got out of the kitten stage her personality started showing more.  She likes to play and sometimes bite.  And she bites hard.   If we dont put her food down fast enough for her she will run up behind us and bite us on the leg.  She dont really like men or big boys.  She will hiss and growl at them and BITE.  Everybody loves to play with her like that.  She loves the attention too. 



Isnt she pretty?   The flash kinda enhanced her green eyes
but she really does have beautiful eyes. 

this is her favorite place to sleep, on the end of our bed.  And she usually stays there
until I get up.  If I dont get up soon enough she likes to sit on the table beside
the bed and stare at me until I move.  She also will gently bite my hand sometimes if I dont
get up soon enough for her.

I was trying to show her baby bump, but she didnt like that.

And needless to say she will be having a little surgery after these kittens come.  No more kittys! 

All about Sandy

Its Monday,, and I wish i could find the words but its so hard.

Sandy Alexis Mann ~ October 2001 - October 2009

We lost a much loved family pet this morning, her name was Sandy- Sandy Alexis Mann is what the kids named her. A yellow lab. She was perhaps the best dog in the world, at least to us she was. We got her for the kids as a Christmas present in 19992001. She was the family dog but she bonded with Jeff. He took up time with her and taught her to sit, speak, and fetch. And she knew what it meant when you told her "daddy's home", she would run and start looking for his truck to pull in. She was so smart and loveable and loyal and was always carrying something around in her mouth, whether it was a sock, a leaf, a ball or plastic bottle. I know she loved us as much as we loved her. I've never been a dog person until we got her. She was more than a dog she was part of our family and she'll never be forgotten
