Great 'Family' Quote

"Families are webs.  Impossible to touch one part of it without setting the rest vibrating.  Impossible to understand one part without having a sense of the whole."

Meet Maggie

Perhaps one of the most random things I've done in recent months, today, I adopted a kitten.  My mom and I went to PetSmart to get some water conditioner for Phillipe (my beta).  As I browsed the aisles I came across the Cat Adoption display.  I walked up and a black and brown tabby cat named "Susie" approached the glass.  Never being one for cats, I was surprised that I was so taken by her adorable face.  I put my finger upon the glass... she laid her paw on my finger... and it was love at first sight.  Within 20 minutes, I had signed the papers, we had purchased WAY too much kitty stuff, and "Susie" had officially become "Maggie".  She is the most spoiled pet we have had in our family, with her own special bed, scratching lounger and... wait for it... Caribbean Cruiser playhouse (Mom went a little overboard with that one, excuse the pun).  However, she has such a precious personality - feisty and bouncy one minute, composed and cuddly the next.  Plus she's just adorable.  I've never been a cat person... but Maggie may have convinced me to be one for a little while.
