Miles: A Rescue
-
So here's the latest adventure. This summer some kitties were born in our neighborhood. They are basically feral cats who took up residence in a storm drain. I got really mad when some neighbors decided to start putting food in the drain for them- that's not responsible. Anyways, one of them has fallen in love with my dogs. It's so crazy. Miles couldn't care less about cats, but Lexi wants to chase them. In fact, one of her magic words is "kitty cat". But this one outstanding kitty just adores them. And when Lexi comes running and swats him on the head, all he does is rub on her and purr. It's too funny. Lexi's left standing there totally confused. The kitty, whom we've named Oscar, lives outside and I think someone feeds him. But as soon as he hears the kids' collars jingling, he comes RUNNING. And he rubs on them and purrs. He walks between the dogs as we go for our walk- as if he were on a leash too. He plays with their leashes and even comes back up the stairs with us. Over the last month, we've convinced him (okay, more like built the trust necessary) to get him inside the house. We have an uncle who adores cats and is going to adopt him (hopefully). So we can get him vet care and neutered. But in the meanwhile, he is so cute!!

Oh, Oscar's totally claimed us. He reminds me of the kitty in Shrek- the one with the big eyes. He used to sit on our doorstep and hubby would shut the door in his face. I couldn't stand it. But slowly, Oscar has won him over. Hubby used to say, "Don't ever feed him from the doorstep and don't ever let him in here!" And now I catch him urging Oscar to come in and I even caught him feeding him cheese!! :) hehehehe… He's irresistible! I would LOVE to keep him myself but we're a little cramped at the moment. I just worry that if we give him to the Uncle, he won't have the exposure to dogs that he obviously loves.

Oscar is so sweet and I can't get over how good your pups are with him!

I hope Hubby changes his mind. You all make a beautiful family.

What a cute kitty…and a great addition to your family. Let us know what happens. More pictures are always great too!

I know, I know… I'm working on getting something fancy together. But for now, they don't have anything special for new years. I really wanted to get Ham a James Bond collar. And I found this snazzy one for Lexi. They would be the most smashing couple if I got these!!
Ham…as... Double OH Seven!!
And Poo Poo as… Sexxy Lexi.
Okay… Now here are the collars they really have... because I made them! :)
