More About Sweet Pea

I recently introduced you to our new addition, Sweet Pea, but I wanted to share a little more with you. Sweet Pea was captured by Hannah and her friend Gabriella on Saturday, August 16 to our shock and their extreme delight! Scott proceeded to call a friend who had been looking for a kitten, not at all what Hannah had planned.

On Sunday, we lost Sweet Pea in the basement and she was not discovered until the following day. When she was re-united with us, we noticed a large cut on her neck that seemed to be infected (well, we certainly couldn't give up a hurt little kitty, now could we?). We took her to the vet on Tuesday and discovered that a grub had probably come out of her neck, (YUCK!) but the vet cleaned it well, put on this cute lamp shade looking thing, and gave us antibiotics. That night, Scott gave in and said we could keep her (Hooray!).

So here is the progression:

Hannah captures an adorable little kitten. We wonder what is wrong with her because she seems to be dizzy and falls over a lot!

Daddy says, "NO NEW KITTY!" : (

Kitty starts loving on everyone, especially Daddy! Plus, she is so darn cute!

Kitty gets a new name, Sweet Pea. We find out she is about 7 weeks old. Obviously something bad happened to her mommy, but she was quick to adopt Scott and I as her new parents.

Our cat Jasper, wasn't too sure about this new addition, but he is slowly warming up. He even shares his food with her, what a good boy!

So, everyone is happy at the Matthews house,

even Daddy who had a kitten snuggled up by his

neck all night long.

We love you, Sweet Pea!
