Ok, I did something rather impulsive today.   I’m the one who is usually campaigning for less pets, so I’m not quite sure why I decided to adopt a new kitten today.  She caught my eye as I was leaving the store and I called Zach as I walked to the car.  When he didn’t answer I thought, it’s probably for the best.  I don’t really want to clean up after one more cat and I don’t pay much attention to the cats we already have.  But Charlotte is such an animal lover, wouldn’t it be fun for her to have her own kitten.  And kittens are so funny to watch run about and attack everything in sight.  (now you know what it’s like inside my brain) Zach returned my call as I was loading the boy into the car (he had Charlotte with him at home) and I explained that a kid was giving away free kittens.  Being the head Zookeeper, of course he thought we needed another specimen and reccommended that I pick one out.  So I pulled my car up to the front of the store, picked out the little gal who caught my eye and drove home thinking, ‘am I going to regret this?’  So the title isn’t entirely accurate, because she was free meaning I didn’t exactly buy her, but I suppose I bought into the idea of getting her so it kinda works.   We might name her Jill Pole (a friend of Eustance Clarence Scrub in the Narnia series).  Then we’ll have Jack and Jill and Eustace and those who don’t know will think her name comes from the nursery rhyme about the youngsters fetching a pail of water.
