We're Back!!


Sorry for the long delay - work & life has been undeniably overwhelming at times. And the holidays? Next year, I'm leaving the country. Buddha & I are thinking about travelling the High Seas.


But enough of that....


Buddha has been growing up (& out) since he first came home. He's is not the scared little boy that he once was. He's now a very brave little boy who's not afraid of water (I know - pray for me); the jacuzzi jets (it's water!); the blow drier; or his big sister (Wookie). He's not too sure about the kids when they come visiting - so, he just curls up in my lap & sleeps.


He's developed quite the little personality. He loves to play, to watch the snow fall, and annoy the heck out of Wookie. To help you get to know him a little better, here's a little quiz (shamelessly lifted from http://wendyknits.net/):


5 Things Quiz


5 Things in Buddha's bag (he doesn't carry a purse - he's much too manly for that)

1) mouse

2) moving mouse

3) catnip mouse

4) blanket

5) pet medical record


5 Things in Buddha's room

1) captain's bed

2) kitty tent

3) all of his mom's clothes (doesn't she have her own room, he often wonders)

4) mouse

5) Wookie (when she's hiding)


5 Things Buddha has always wanted to do

1) eat an entire bag of kitten nibbles

2) go outside (his mom's not going to let that happen - the world is too big for a tiny kitty)

3) chase the birdies

4) play in the jacuzzi

5) sleep on his mom's face (oh, wait, he does that every day)


5 Things Buddha is currently in to

1) everything

2) checking the cupboards for monsters

3) taking a shower with my mom or Peter

4) help make dinner

5) mice


There you go - that's Buddha as of today. Maybe I'll revisit this in a few months & see how he's changed.

In the beginning....


Buddha had some sad & scary beginnings. According to Rescued Tails Animal Sanctuary in Shell Lake, Wisconsin (http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/MN212.html), Buddha was found on the side of the road. He had been mewing & screaming, and the volunteer thought it was a bird. Lo & behold, it was a teeny kitty! He was rescued & named Birdie & fostered with some very nice humans, cats, and dogs.

One day, after my cat Wookie had been driving me nuts, I decided that she needed a playmate. I jumped on http://www.petfinder.com/ & the first little kitten I saw was Birdie. I fell in love with him & then read his story & realized that he was the perfect kitten for me.

Fast forward 6 weeks & Buddha's home! He's so cute & tiny. Unfortunately, he had ear mites & needed to get treated before he could come home. Poor thing - he had helicopter ears all way home from Minneapolis! Buddha got to stop at his first craft fair & visit with his new 'grandma.' I think she liked him. She asked if he could stay with her. He's a very (I mean VERY) active little boy who's into everything & alsways looking for something to play with.
