Miles from Fenway: Happy Adoption Day, Tessie!!

Well, that was an exciting weekend. One that began with an amazing movie, continued with a bit of a relapse, an unexpected proposition, and ending with a conversation along the lines of "I'm not ready to date anyone yet" (which was met with something in the vein of "Not now, but you will be someday").

So now I launch myself into the week, a week that begins with the celebration of Tessie's Adoption day. A year ago today, MM and I hopped in the car and drove to the North Shore Animal League and 6 short hours later, I was the proud owner of my very own kitten.

Little did I know that I was not actually going to be an owner so much as a human that she happens to let live in the house with her. As a first time pet owner I marveled, and still marvel, at how quickly I became attached to my kitty. I love her to bits.

Happy Adoption Day, Tessie!

I remember when you got her last year, and we went shopping for kitty toys. She's gotten so big.

She's actually SUPER small for a one-year-old cat. It's like I adopted perma-kitten. I'm going out to PetCo. today to get her some new toys for her adoption day, cause yeah, I'm on my way to be a cat lady. But at least I embrace it :)

Not a cat person, but so thank you for adopting a pet. People don't do it and they should, so many good animals out there without homes. So I say thank you finy!! She looks cute!!!

She reminds me of my kitty, Ebby, who died in August.

Tessie is such a cutie.
