Quick note, much more to come. St. Patrick's evening Sparky and I adopted two beautiful playful kitties from our local chapter of HOPE :-) We'd been looking and narrowly missed adopting two other kitties, we were originally planning on just getting one but we fell in love with two and fortunately they were already used to being around each other.

So the last 24 hours or so have been pleasantly chaotic. We had originally gone to visit the smaller smoke colored kitty on the right, which we named Phoebe. She was going to be Selina (aka Catwoman, goddess of the moon...) but she's such a brave little fireball Phoebe seemed more appropriate. We ended up bringing home a medium black domestic short hair also, which we named Salem. The little girl is the fearless, dominant one strangely enough. My husband had wanted a black male kitty, and I had picked the name Salem. He's very much the Halloween kitty also.

I have worked pile on my desk from this weekend... As I'm typing this Phoebe is standing on my keyboard chasing the cursor across the screen :-) But we're both very happy. Sparky is a little overwhelmed at having two at once and weirdly enough, they both have been hanging out mostly with me. Our last cat and dog (which was my dog) both followed him around 24/7 so it's wonderful to have two babies that think I hung the moon. Of course, I didn't get a lot of sleep last night from all the kitty love :-)

We still want to get another dog in the future, so I think my husband's dreams of a spotless house are pretty much shot. This is the best photo I've gotten of them together, they're 7 and 8 months respectively, so there's lots of kitten energy still. More to come!
