LAST FAMILY CHRISTMAS GIFT SHOWS UP - HELLO BAILEY

For the last three years I've fought against getting a pet.  We've had cats in the past and while they brought entertainment and joy to our lives, over the years they also created lots of damage (mankind has never come up with a weapon as devasting as cat urine and cat claws).  Three years ...  for three years I successfully fought back the seemingly never-ending pressure to get a pet.  I ignored arguments that we needed a pet for therapy; Ryan needed a pet to grow up well rounded; etc., etc.   I ignored it all.  Three years.  Finally I caved this Christmas ...  welcome aboard Bailey.

Bailey is the scowling one on your right
