Who was more surprised than me when I brought home a puppy…Misty -a bordie collie mix…to my one-bedroom condo on the 3rd floor. There was no elevator and only a fire escape staircase as the “back door”. That was 1987. More surprise and almost disbelief happened when I brought a black kitten home in 1989. Until that day I never liked cats! Those two – Misty and Rainy – became best friends…..I loved these two! In 1998 along came Breezy – a 6-month old lab,shepherd, akita mix. Breezy had been hit by a car in front of my old store front…no one claimed her…and home she came with me. For a while my household was like a Halloween show! They finally learned to tolerate each other.
The years went by…..Misty died in 1999, Rainy in 2008 and Breezy in 2009. Oh, what a quiet household. I grieved and I missed the pitter patter. Well, that all changed in 2009. Brother kittens – Stan and Ollie – came home in Jan and then Lucy pup joined us in May.
There is much pitter patter now!
