In early November Todd and I went into Petsmart and were seriously thinking about adopting a dog. There were dogs from the Barstow Humane Society of every shape and size. But none of them really grabbed our attention. By chance I went over to the cats just to say hello and one of them came right up to me and put her nose up to the bars of the cage. I thought she had a dirty nose but the dirt wouldn't come off! Then she kept pushing her neck against my fingers, begging to be scratched more. Well, she stole my heart, and I looked at Todd and said, "Dogs are too hard to take care of... want another cat instead?" So we took her home and named her Sadie.
She came from a non-profit organization in Apple Valley named Helping Paws. She's about a year old and very affectionate. She wouldn't eat much at first, but now she is a ravenous pig! She turns in circles when she's about to get fed and pushes Sam and Hailey aside in reckless abandon when the food gets served so we call her the Tazmanian Devil! She also likes to steal bread and cheese and anything else we leave out on the kitchen counters. Needless to say, our kitchen now is the cleanest kitchen right after preparing meals :p She's getting along pretty well with Sammy and Hailey and loves especially to lay on Todd's lap in the evenings and on my lap in the mornings :)
