(no subject)
Ken and I were running errands last night, which took us to Blockbuster and Target. We had just got done at Target, and were getting ready to drive back to the apartment, when he looks over and spots a Petsmart. He decided he wants to go look at animals, lol, so we run over and start exploring. Petsmart doesn't have as many animals on display as Petco, but they do have some. After looking at fish, hamsters and mice, the birds and snakes, we decide to head home. One the way out the door, there is the big adoption center for cats and dogs. We're looking through the window, and I see the most beautiful kitten I have ever seen. She was a bright gray tabby cat (and if you know me, you know I love tabbys), so we go inside the doors to look at her a little more and some of the other cats. I look and see that the tabby's name is Maggie, and after petting her for a while through the bars, I fell in love. She was only $100 to adopt. I swear if I could smuggle her into the apartment, I would have bought her. I have always wanted to adopt my pets from a rescue shelter, and leaving her last night in the cage nearly broke my heart.
A few months ago, I said that no cat could replace Sunshine in my heart. That is still true, but lately I'm finding that animals in cages just don't cut it (like my hamster). Ken and I talked about getting fish next, but goodness... I need living things around me... plants, animals, and small animals in cages that can't freely walk around and play just doesn't cut it anymore.
I want another cat so bad... I've kind of adopted Socks (my brothers cat) in Centralia when my brother isn't there, and after last night, I realized how much I want another cat, or a dog, or something. Like I said, leaving Maggie behind last night nearly broke my heart... it took me awhile to be my regular self and get over the fact that I had to leave her. Ken was so concerned about how I was feeling after leaving Petsmart that he said he'd deal with allergies and we'd get a pet deposit on the next apartment we get (which will mostly likely be in March). It really meant a lot, he's such an amazing man.
*sigh* Someone should pay for a pet deposit for us as a wedding and Christmas gift. If only.
