We were pet owners.
For approximately 48 hours.
We got a kitten. Named him Buzz. He was lonely...so we got him a friend the next day (Grandma had lots of them!) Woody. Naturally.
We thought their sad, lonely days were over!
You see, growing up, kittens were a big part of my childhood. We always had baby kitties that we dressed up, bottle fed with doll bottles and loved and played with. So I thought- what a great experience for our little family- plus Brig says he loves animals...but gets quite nervous when he is actually around them. Cats were the perfect first step towards recovery.
However, despite our efforts of making them a nice little home, playing with them, and even giving them some disgusting-super-foul-smelling canned cat food...they dissappeared.
So...we were pet owners for approximately 48 hours. It was quite the responsibility- and it was pretty fun to have those sweet little kittens greet us anytime we went outside...but pretty sure we are going to wait quite a while before we try the whole animal thing again!
Your kids are so cute! We had kittens when we lived up north, but our dog killed them...so it could've been worse :) Maybe they will find their way home to more of that yummy cat food!
