Meet Georgie
I finally broke down and got a cat. I kept telling myself that I couldn't have a cat because of my allergies, but I love cats too much and there are things I can do to help manage my allergies, so I'm working on all of that. In the meantime, I went to the Huron Valley Humane Society and found a new roommate. I've named him Georgie and he's not just adorable, but very low key and has adjusted to his new life very well. He cried a little when I kept him out of my bedroom when I sleep, but after a few minutes, he seemed so say "Well, all right, so that's how it is" and went on with his routine. Nothing seems to faze him for very long. Even the trip to the vet today (wellness check), he didn't cry or spaz or anything. He likes to do a little lap time, but only a little, then he's off to sleep at his window seat or to play. Which is good for me.
