Here Kitty Kitty!!!

We have been thinking a lot about getting Marcie a kitty but havn't had any luck until now. In Augest we found this cat at Petsmart and fell in love with him. Cody and I were not sure about getting a cat that day because we were just getting into the idea of having a pet. So we drove home without the cat. By the time we got home Cody said go get him. What???? So I dropped Marcie and Cody off at drove back into town and adopted this kitty.

Well we got him in Augest and not it is November and he has not run away! Let me tell you he has lost a couple of his lives already. I will tell you my bad day....I went to the eye doctor to have a checkup, I dropped Marcie off with Cody at a park 10 min. away because a doctor visit should be only 30ish min. long, right? Well I was there from 1:00pm-3:45ish!!!! The doctor dialated my eyes and then left me in a dark room for 45 min. he then paralized my eyes so I could not focus my eyes. The doctor says I have the abilty to change the shape of my lens to see 20/15 but my eyes strain very hard to see that perfect, but my true vision is not perfect. It is hard to explain. Anyways, Cody has an hour lunch and by now it has been a couple hours. I had to call Cody because he was stranded at the park without a carseat, and no diaper bag. Cody was a little upset due to the fact Marcie has a messy diaper and no diapers to change her and it is way past his lunch. Well the doctor said it would be ok to drive and go get Marcie, so that is what I did. I told him that I couldn't see, he still told me that it would be ok. Weird huh? My vision was soooo blurry that I could not see the speedomometer I could not see street signs, only big blurrs of cars, trees, houses. I was so scared I wanted to cry. Well when I found Cody I told him I would help change her diaper but he had to wipe because I could not see a thing. :( Now that I look at it it sounds kinda funny. So I had Cody put Marcie in the car and off I went back to the doctors office to finish my appointment. The thing is, is I had to drive home after all of this. The doctor told me I would be blind for 6 hours. I did find myself home but didn't realize I did not roll all my car windows up, duh cause I was blind. This is the part where my cat almost lost his life. The cat had jumped into the car window and used my leather seat as a scratching post!!! Ya, he did. There were holes and scrates on one area, I thought I was going to loose it! Now that this is all in the past (I guess) the cat is living outside in a heated cat house (spoiled). I guess I learned from this story that material things are just things, but this cat makes Marcie so happy it makes me so so so happy.

I can't believe that the Dr. let you drive like that! DUH. and don't even start with me and animals ruining things. Our Dog has ruined so many things, he has finally learned not to chew but it took a lot of shoes, furniture, and toys.... But we feel the same way, Jack just loves him and there is no way that we would ever be able to get rid of him, OH well like you said, I guess it is just material things.
