Where Do I Even Begin?
Speaking of working out, I recently discovered the Turbo Kickboxing class at my gym and I love it! It never occurred to me to try it before, but I've become bored with my same old cardio routines and decided to try something different. I'm so glad I did, because now I've found something enjoyable that is a kick-a** workout and a great alternative to the elliptical or running on the treadmill. I've come to really enjoy running but my 40-year-old knees can only take so much! Next new challenge —- spinning class!!!
The kitchen remodel has been kind of a drag. It's taken us forever to try and figure out what we want (although we are pretty quick to compromise on things - it sure helps having similar tastes in decor!) and it seems like everything we like turns out to be the most expensive option. So then, we have to backtrack and try to find a compromise that's still nice, but within a reasonable budget. Right now we're looking at maple cabinets with a dark cherry stain and stainless cabinet pulls, stainless appliances, desert limestone quartz countertops, and a gorgeous glossy tile backsplash accent wall. If we're lucky, we may get this project finished by oh ... 2055!
Anyway, enough of that topic - how about some cute kitty pictures?
This is Moira. She's been at the center awhile, and I can't figure out why.
She's a GORGEOUS cat, and likes to go for walks around the store on a leash.
This is Tim. He's a young, playful boy who really misses his former
cagemate Dexter, who I unfortunately did not get a picture of.
Tim's rescuer wrote this letter about him:
"I live in the country, several miles east of Salem, on a dead end road.
In the middle of this cold, rainy, windy Oregon winter, a stray cat showed up in
front of my house. He was a rather cute, smaller white tabby who looked very
wet and miserable. He was trying to stay warm by tucking himself into my
window well, which only had a dirt floor and the roof overhang to help shelter him.
I was hopeful that perhaps he belonged to a neighbor but, after a couple of
days, it was apparent that he had nowhere else to go. Some days he would
sleep on my front door mat, but he was skittish when approached. I started
to call him "Tim".
He must have been starving too. I began to use a clicker to call him whenever I
put food out. To my surprise, after a couple of weeks, he let me pet him
and pick him up. He never tried to scratch or bite me. In fact, he is rather
submissive about being held.
Tim is a good cat, and deserves his own family. Thanks for helping Tim!"
Awwww! 
This is Godiva, emphasis on DIVA. This silky, tiny little beauty has
PLENTY of attitude. 
This pretty girl is Ruby. She's pretty laid back and mostly just likes
to observe, but will perk up when a feather toy is dangled in front of her. 
This is my boyfriend, Moby. He is one of the sweetest and most affectionate
cats that has come through the shelter. He was adopted out once before but
returned because the household's other cat did not like him. However, he is
fantastic with all the cats at PetSmart, and loves people. He loves to hug and
kiss and although I really want him to find a home, I will miss him when he
leaves!
