Our Pet Status

So in the past month, we went from having no pets, (except for our pet flies) to having three.... We went to a ward party, and they had a fish pond with real fish in it. And if you catch one, you get to take it home. What a treat... so now we have two gold fish!
Then Ryan comes home and tells me that he and his dad found a abandoned kitten for the girls. The mom had gotten run over or something like that. It is so little that I get to feed it with a tiny bottle, and give it baths because it doesn't know not to sleep in it's own pooh..... the only reason I am willing to do this, is because my girls have already fallen in love with it.

Elizabeth is trying to feed the kitten it's bottle, but it scratches the crap out of your hands when it eats so she quickly handed it over to me.
Brytlee was drinking her bottle, and the kitten climbed onto her chest and was trying to drink with her. She didn't really like that so right when I took the picture she was trying to get it off of her.
If you can think of any great names for it, let me know. Alexis likes Gizzy, but I told her it is to close to Lizzy. So for right now, it is nameless.....

How cute! I have told my kids that once they can take care of a pet themselves, we'll get one! (But everyone has told me that that day will never come!... so who knows? Maybe once we're settled in the new house??... hmmm...

Looks like fun and I bet the girls are lovin' it. I think that's so cool that you got to ride an elephant.

I can't believe your rode an elephant! FUN! That is such a cute story with the cat. I love that you get to feed it with a bottle. I'm not good at thinking of animal names. My family had a cat that never got named so we just called it "Cat". Isn't that horrible? Then my little cousin started calling it meow and it just stuck. So we still call our poor nameless cat meow. Good luck!

We just got a puppy and I feel like I had a third kid, it is so much work! When I was little, we rescued three newborn kittens from our dog and the mom never came back so we fed them with bottles, too! We named them Vai, Satch, and Nuno. Feel free to use any of those names if you like!
