Another Kitten

Last night we came home with a 4 month old female Cinnamon-Silver Ocicat. She is very cute and super sweet. Bella is a Chocolate Ocicat, so they look quite different in color, but both have the signature Ocicat spots.

Still working on the name. It, of course, must start with a "B". We are very open to suggestions.

How about "Buffy"?

The Happiest Place on Earth

For Dave's birthday my mom arranged for a friend of her that works for Disney to get us in the park for free for the evening. We got there at 5pm and headed straight for the new Finding Nemo ride.

Then we decided to get some pizza for dinner and head to Space Mountain. There rest of the evening we didn't have to wait in line for any of the rides. It was awesome!

Then to Pirates of the Caribbean

Then to Big Thunder Mountain

Then the Indiana Jones Ride

Then we got some frozen treats

Our final ride was on the MatterhornIt was a MAGICAL evening!

Thanks, Mom!

Beau Has Gotta Go!

Tomorrow night I will be taking Beau back to the foster family we got him from.

For several weeks now he has been frequently opting out of using his litter box. We have tried everything to remedy the problem including taking him to the vet to ensure nothing wrong physically, multiple litter boxes, different brands of litter, putting the boxes in different locations, praising him profusely when he uses the littler box & scolding when he doesn't, ect. However, nothing has worked and Sunday (on Dave's birthday!) he even peed on our down comforter just inches from my pillow. That was pretty much the last straw for me. Facing another 20 years of worrying about where I sit and what I touch in my own house is just not an option. We do feel really sad for Bella since we know she will really miss him (and if I wasn't so angry at him, I'd be able to admit that I'll miss him too).

So we are now in search of 2nd Ocicat to be Bella's new friend/playmate. Bella's personality & disposition is really ideal and matches the breed profiles we have read on-line perfectly. We hope to have our new kitten by the weekend.

I'll keep you posted!

Happy Birthday to my Dave!

I LOVE YOU!

Pink was the theme for last Saturday, but I was away at a horse show. However, I didn't want to miss out on the hunt!

Weber Kettle Pumpkin

Yesterday we had a mini-pumpkin decorating contest at work. My pumpkin won for Most Company Spirit!

Have a Safe Halloween

Beau is hoping to get lots of treats tonight!

Kitten Update

Thought it might be about time for a kitten update.

They are both doing really well. They get along perfectly. They love to play together, sleep together, and pretty much do everything together.

On Friday Bella got her girl surgery. The vet said to keep her still for the 1st couple days and that it might be a good idea to separate her from Beau at 1st. So Friday night be attempted to keep them in separate rooms. They both cried and clawed all night until and nobody got any sleep until they were together.

Here are some pics:

Happy Birthday to ME

Well, I am now officially in my 30s. Yep, now I think I must be a real adult.

The morning began with a gift from Tiffany's from my loving husband. Then off to work where I found my office completely decorated for me by my team, compete with faux saloon doors and cowboy boot confetti.

Today I was also taken to lunch by Susan & Cheryl (who is in from on Australia for the week), provided with a birthday cake by Christina (my new boss), given an extremely touching gift from Cheryl that will be treasured always, and received several phone calls, e-mails, e-cards, cards, & even a blog shout-out. All of this has made me feel incredible loved, special, and blessed.

Then after work Dave & I got all dressed up and headed to Morton's Steakhouse for dinner. The meal was completely fantastic.

Maybe being 30 isn't all that bad after all....

My New Cat

I have finally found my new kitten and Dave's kitten's new friend. He is a rescue cat that was living with a foster family. He is super sweet and laid back. He came with the name Maxwell, but since he doesn't really know his name and we have dear friends with the last name Maxwell we are looking to change it. Since we already have a Breezy and a Bella we were thinking that something with a "B" would be fun. Any ideas????

Our new guy and Bella seem to be hitting it off well. She is much quicker when they play, but he is much stronger. They take turns following eachother around the house. Bella gets afriad easily, but "Maxwell" is very patient and relaxed.
