Jessi called today and asked to come spend a few days with us.  Of course we said yes.  It feels good to have all my babies under one roof for a change.  Ricky says that I have some form of Empty Nest syndrome since I have acquired the 2 new kittens.  He says that I have to have something to take care of.  And I guess in a way he's right.  I am a nurse so taking care of people/my pets are just second nature to me.  I have very spoiled pets.  They don't know that they are animals,  they think that they are human babies.  Smokey and Rocky are spoiled rotten already.  Every time one of walks into the kitchen they think that they are supposed to get something to eat too - it doesn't matter if they just walked out of the kitchen after eating.  Scoot and Maggie are junk food dogs  they think that what ever we eat they are supposed to eat it too.  They love snacks especially chocolate and cheese.  They also love French toast. Stoner kitty like potato chips but he will eat vegetables.  The point is I love my pets.  Jessi once said that I loved the pets more than I loved them.  No that's not true.  My pets just mind me better.  All they want is to fed and watered, a quiet place to nap and a scratch down every so often and oh yeah don't forget the chocolate.
  Today I took the kittens outside for a while.  I don't let them go outside alone because we have mean tom cats roaming around.  They like to play in the bushes and I sit on the porch and watch them play.  Maggie is a good baby sitter too.  She watches them like a hawk and lets me know if they are into something or have wandered to far.  Scoot still has anxiety when they are around her.  Stoner Kitty is just too cool to be seen playing with them.
