Spike update

October
24

Be still my beating heart. Diane is so, so nice to let me visit with Spike every Saturday after class (hey, a new motivation for going the gym. All trainers should try it. No workout, no Spike) and today it took every ounce of strength not to tell Diane to get lost so I could play all day. She is getting more and more amazing and alert and funny….First picture cracks me up…cutline ideas? Urp, excuse me? Tee-hee. I’m so shy. I’m a little flirty kittie. Sorry about your bird.10-24-09_1224

She was really just nibbling on her teeny paw, but is that a priceless shot or what? I had her on a blanket in Di’s car so we could play. I can officially report that Spike loves little belly rubs and trying out her tiny teeth.10-24-09_1220

Wish the light was better (and my hand didn’t look like a man’s), but still, so cute! Last one….I’m dancing!10-24-09_1223

When I came home and petted Stanley and Cup hello, I got the “sniff, who were you with” routine. I said girls, that’s Spike, and we may have to have a chat. :)

    Still don’t know. Diane really wants her to be able to be an outdoor cat, and my terrace doesn’t really qualify. And there is the having 3 factor….Nothing decided yet tho.

    Hold on a secaaa, when did Spike become a she? And Laurel, You so want to keep her, it’s not even funny.

    A man takes his Great Dane to the vet and says, “My dog’s cross-eyed, is there anything you can do for him?”

    “Well,” says the vet, “let’s have a look at him.”

    So he picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then checks his teeth. Finally, he says, “I’m going to have to put him down.”

    “What? Because he’s cross-eyed?”

    “No, because he’s really heavy.”

    ilb…I announced that in previous post. When kitties are just born, and real real tiny, it can be tough to tell and take a while until you see what, um, does or doesn’t develop. I still have trouble referring to him and as a she!

    And, I know, but probably won’t happen. My ideal is, whoever gets her lets me come visit.

    Mandlebaum….must I say it….It’s GO time!

    Yeah, I thought Princess Dubinsky was a guy for a month before we realized she was a lady. My bf at the time used to carry her around on his shoulder screaming “WIENER PATROOOL!” So he was really bummed when we found out she was a girl.

    Sally, so Dubi used to be Prince??? Based on that small tale, I can understand why he’s a former bf :)
