As I alluded to earlier, we took Lainey to choose a hermit crab of her own. The little guy, named Kiko, seems very pleased with his new habitat. His shell is painted in bright colors and in tiny letters it says Colombia. Note the south american spelling. Not sure what that's about, but the kids are operating on the premise it refers to our hometown and not the source of the artist's inspiration.
That evening as I sat on the deck I heard a cat wailing in the woods. It sounded like Holli, Jordan's kitten, who panics if not near people for a while, so I called to it. Then it bounded out onto the lawn and looked calico, so I thought it was Boo-Boo so still called to it. Soon I learned it is the friendliest, half starved little cat with hanging belly that can only mean kittens are on the way. I called Jordan to show it to her and meanwhile Lainey escorted it up to the sunroom and hovered over it chasing the other pets away while it devoured half the catfood. We set her out but she managed to slip into the garage and go unnoticed overnight. This morning we set her out and when I arrived home this evening there she was huddled in the rain by the garage door. So who's up for a kitten :-)
