Okay, so this afternoon Haley, Nat, Lindsay and I went over to our fun new Payson pool. There was a mighty line when we got there, which is no big deal, so we got in the line and began waiting. A moment later I notice a young girl sitting on the lawn with a cage and some little critters inside... I sent 2 girls over to take a peek at what she had in the cage. 3 kittens! Cute!
Well, after a bit, they were asking me if we could take one home! No, I said. I would love to, but you know that we already have 2 cats, 1 dog and a bird. "But Mom!" Haley said, "If this girl isn't able to give all these kittens away, she will be forced to bring them to the pound, and then they will be put to SLEEP!"
Oh dear.
My girls have the same tender heart towards animals as I do.
I'm so proud!
SOOOO... I say to them:
"Call your father."
He's been in Frankfurt and London all week, but oh well, call him anyway, let him be the one to tell you NO!~
so Nat called, and Nat asked and Nat started to cry a bit when she heard the answer. (not in a bratty sort of way, but a worried kind of way, like... Daddy, if we don't take him home, the kitty is gonna die.. kinda cry)
Then all of a sudden she hands me the phone.
"Just get ONE" he says!
"SERIOUSLY????"
"Yes, but only one"
NO WAY, Cool!
We went over to the girl with the kittens and picked out this one. She said his name was Puff, but Natalie changed it to Socks.
He is adorable, super friendly and purrs incredibly loud! He's sweet, but our other 2 kitties don't think so at the moment, but I know they'll come around and welcome their new little brother to the Lawson home!
Welcome, Socks!
Our new kitty, Socks. The one the girls want to hold so much that they are only giving each other a 10 minute holding limit!
Socks.
Socks has been here about 5 hours and I think he has been held 99% of the time!
Little black fur ball. By the way.. after we picked out this kitty, we paid the girl $2 for him, then had to drive home to take the kitty to our house! We got him situated and then drove back to the pool for about 3 hours. The girls were anxious to get home, so we didn't stay too long.
What a day!

Oh my goodness, she is so adorable!
We are total animal lovers too and I can't go anywhere near the SPCA or I'll take them all home. I have like 10 stray cats that visit me every night for food, in addition to the raccoons and possums. That was the cutest story. :)
