There’s magic in the air

There must be magic in the air…

Katie brought this little guy to us saying he was dirty. Indeed, he was dirty and was in serious need of a bath. Imagine, right? A wild kitten needing a bath? There was nothing to do, but bring him home and bathe him.

After drying him, loving on him, playing with him, and naming him…he could stay for a week trial. Well, the week is over and we are here to introduce you to Alaska, our new pet. Yes. I said there was magic in the air!

We are the parents that swore (even before getting married) that we’d never have a pet in the house. Magic.

A trip to PetSmart confirmed that he was the runt, 6 weeks old, and healthy. He simply wants to be held. Magic.

And to play.

And to climb.

And to be everywhere we are…preferably right on top of you…on top of any of us…whenever we are within proximity of his climbing abilities.

And to be loved. A lot in fact. Magic – the power of a pet.

I don’t think Alaska needs a week for us to decide. Welcome to the family.

(This collection of pictures I realize is a bit misleading. Alaska does love the kids a lot, but he isn’t necessarily partial to Michael. Michael is simply always hollering at me to take pictures of Alaska and him together. Ironically, Michael wants desperately to hold Alaska, but doesn’t like picking him up. He hasn’t quite figured out the perfect hold so as not to get scratched by those little baby claws. It was a great day when Michael learned to carry him like a momma cat. My boy is indeed getting so big!)
