"A Tail of Two Kitties..."

When the Littles are up visiting with Grampy & Grammy for a few days...

And when the Mama is kind of missing them...

And when she remembers the last conversation that she had with Jesse went a little like this:

Jesse:  "Mama, sometimes I cry about Smudge in my bed at night...."

And when I have an afternoon to myself and a set of wheels to boot....

Well...things happen.

 Oh Heavens.

 Have mercy.

And when you have a husband who predicted this a million miles away...

And when he gets a call from the shelter that not one but two kitties need a home...

And when he's super cool and sweet and doesn't bat an eye at your crazy requests...

Well...more things happen.

 Oh goodness.

 Can't help it.

And when it's your birthday coming up soon...

And when your two biggest boys each really want a pet "of their very own"...

And when you make a vow to keep these pets inside for all of their days...

And when you can call these fuzz balls "birthday gifts" and "super fun surprises for the hoolies..."

Well...that's a two for one deal if I ever did see one!

And when there's a little picture obviously drawn by a little person beside one of the kitties with a note that they had to take her to the shelter because they were moving...and when I think about how my little boys would have felt if we had to move away without their little pet...well....that's just about enough said in my book.

The babies come home on Tuesday.
And it's tippy top secret.....

Have mercy on us all...
