Hey there, the math thing struck me again: 2 + 2 =3D well, seems like more than 4 right now. Was in the pet store picking up some new toys 2 weeks ago, and they had 2 veerrryy cute kits; albino and very dark sable. Didn't think much of it at the time. But went back after more than a week, and they were still there. Thought a little more about it. 2 days later, still there, really thought about it, before I knew it, had reserved them til after work. "OK, still time to say no" Kept telling myself this as I picked out a carrier, water bottle, and litter box. "Still time" Well time ran out. Now have 4 girls. They seem to be doing great. All 4 put together for supervised play, and big fun ensued. Especially: digging in the litter box, throwing litter all over, sweeping up litter, giving ferts a ride on the broom, sweep litter into pile, pile diving fuzzies. Older ones (Thorn and Janey, 12 weeks) are much bigger and a little too aggressive right now, but just seem to play, no real fighting. Little ones (Jaka-from "Cerebus"-albino, and Meany-from Irving book, "A Prayer for Owen Meany") seem to be adapting well. They have their own little playroom separate from the big bad girls. Gonna be a fun month or two. Bill and the babes [Posted in FML issue 1910]
