Here’s the thing: I hate being sad. Sad sucks, and I was really sad about our chickens. It’s been a rough summer generally with my Dad and Sis both in the hospital for a while, and I had just about had it with sadness. So, we adopted a kitten from the Animal Rescue League! Meet Pumpernickel, our new 10 week old kitten! He’s doing great, still in his 2 week 1 room quarantine, but as you can see, the kids love playing with him, and the grown up sneak him downstairs for snuggles after the kids go to bed. We found out while we were adopting that the ARL is looking for foster homes for pets as well as permanent homes. So if you’re needing a little adorable kitten in your life, you can do it with or without the lifelong commitment! I highly recommend it…kitten cuteness in real life > kitten cuteness on Facebook.
