pets choose us......

Well, after several months of being without a pet (we lost our dear Alex hound in September), we started thinking we were ready for another dog, but with our job flux, were holding off. Many years ago it was Alex who chose me, and it looks like a repeat....

The other night Derreck came in from outside with a cat, thinking I would know whose it is (we live in the city and outside cats are not the norm). I did not, so Derreck put her outside so she could go home. A couple hours later we are still up (it is really late now)and "meow" - the cat is back in our condo! At first Derreck thinks it is a Demon to get back into the house, and we check all the doors and viola - a transom window above the fire escape door is open. She must have skulked around the outside of the building, climbing the fire esapes until she found a way in. We rig up a litter box, put some water in a dish, and go to bed. We put up signs the next day to find an owner, and by the hour became more and more attached to her. We knew we would be really dissappointed when the real owner came.

WEll, a neighbor called and sure enough, he know where the cat came from. He took the cat in, supposedly temporarily, but the owner went AWOL. The neighbor already has 2 big dogs and a cat, and this cat was really unhappy there, so the neighbor had decided to take it to the Dumb friends league the next day. I guess she knew it was time to make an escape.....

So, we call her Harmony. She does alot of lounging.

Alex, who thoroughly believed in the food chain and establishing his place on it, is probably rolling over in his tin box that we have a CAT!....
