Marble

To make a long story, short we've been visiting the shelters for a few weeks now looking for what I thought would end up being a second dog.  Turns out, I was wrong. When we visited the local shelter during our Valentine's Day fun with the kids, they met this cat and fell in love with her. And better yet, she clearly loved them. She was super affectionate with them and ready to play and cuddle. We asked a few questions and left. After much debate over the long weekend, we decided she was just too good of a "fit" to leave her there. So Mike made a call asking them to put a hold on her for me to come look again on Tuesday night.   I stopped by with the kids again to find her just as affectionate and belonging to them as the time before. After much begging from the kids to take her home, this sucker of a softy caved and filled out the application to make her ours.  Meet Miss Marble.  

She's a 5 year old short haired Tortie and sweet as can be. She's been a little "needy" with wanting constant affection, but is already starting to fold herself right into the family nicely. The name was the name given to her previously and the kids seemed to like it, so we are sticking with it.  I guess another dog can wait just a little while longer....... for now.
