Today is Missy's Gotcha Day!
Four years ago today, I made a decision.
It changed my life forever.
I did something I said I would never do.
I got a cat.
A neighbor had to find Missy a home.
I told the neighbor I did not like cats.
The neighbor came over, with Missy hidden from view.
While we talked, she revealed Missy, cradled in her arms.
One look in those big blue eyes, at that sweet face, was too much.
So today we celebrate the 4th anniversary of
Missy Blue Eyes coming to live with us.
Today is Missy's Birthday!
When Missy came to live with us, she was about a year old.
Today we also celebrate her 5th birthday.

hey Faith, I'm feeling better now and eating again and not throwing up. guess what seemed to help me? give you a hint...the worst thing you could imagine...yup, you guessed it...the Lady stopped giving me Temptations. ::shudder:: a life without Temptations? it's hard to imagine! anyway, I was feeling better today so I started attacking things again. I started with the spray bottle that squirts me when I'm doing something the people seem to think I shouldn't. I put the Big Bitey on its squirty part then wrestled it to the floor and chewed it. I'm gonna disable that thing fur sure!
love
Rascal
HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY and GOTCHA DAY!!
