My ode to my 8-Bit:

I expected a nice quiet animal... I got what I affectionately refer to as a "talker", he puts a Siamese to shame.

I expected a pet.... I got a furry child.

I expected him to sleep most of the time... I got an extra alarm clock with out a snooze and claws.

I expected something well behaved... I got a third member of our household that can open the refrigerator.

I expected a girl... I got a boy.

I expected to fall in love with him.... I never thought it would be this much.

I wanted to give the little guy a tribute. DH and I realize how much he has changed our lives today. It was empty before he came.

He really is a joy to me... as well as Scratch. I didn't realize how much until we started talking about it.

You just made me cry


That was the sweetest thing I have read in a long time...I do not even know many people who talk about their children like that!

That was really special
Cats have a way of making us love them no matter how naughty they are

We are so lucky he choose us. When we went to adopt him he ran up to me and bit my toe, then he scratched my husband. The then walked into his kitty carrier, curled up, and fell asleep. All we had to do was shut the door. It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen a cat do.
