Proud Pet Owners!!!

I really don't know how this happened...well yes I do...but it doesn't mean I like it!!! I am totally not a cat person but we got ourselves a kitten. Our neighbors have always had enough cats to take care of the mice for the whole neighborhood, but they don't have them anymore. We have never had a problem with mice, but with having a farm field next to my house, I don't want to chance it!! Our neighbors down the road had kittens and everyday when my boys came home from playing, they would bug me about getting one of their kittens. At first I wouldn't even listen because I HATE cats but then I got thinking it might be good to have one outside. So, before I knew it I had agreed and now look what I have gotten myself into!!! The funniest part is that my boys are kinda scared of the little thing so they don't even dare to touch it...ha ha! We have had the cat for a couple weeks and they are starting to warm up a bit. This picture is the first night we brought the kitten home. She was scared so she just hid under our deck. My boys weren't wanting to get to close to her either so they just layed and stared at each other. I was laughing so hard at them! :) We actually even gave this little kitten a name. That was the funnest part for my boys. They wanted her to have a full name so what we came up with is Sassy Socks Mullen. She looks like she has white socks on all four paws so the name is perfect. Even though I think the name is cute I WILL NOT LIKE THIS CAT!!!

And then there is our other new pet...Jaygen's fish. This one doesn't bother me because it is just a fish and Jaygen has had fun feeding it and taking care of it. We had to give the fish a name too and Jaygen was having the hardest time deciding. But we finally came up with Long-hair Wally Mullen. Oh, I think Jayen is so funny!!!

After all this has happened and we now have two of my least favorite pets, I think we should have just given in and gotten the boys a puppy like they have wanted forever!! :)
