Love the cat! My two kitties are so spoiled. They are 4 years old, brother and sister, grey and white. I am a couch blogger too, btw. I catch up on any blogs that I was not able to read while I was at work. Many times if there is a video I have to wait until I am home. My husband enjoys the videos too. Anytime we see a mango in the grocery store he will mimic Ryan and say “My mango! MY mango!”

Roni,

I’m really allergic to cats too, and I have three! I give all of my cats baths every two weeks or so, and it helps sooo much! It cuts down on their dander by 75 percent. If you start giving Irish baths now while she’s young, then it will be much easier. All of my cats dont like it, but they put up with it. My allergist says this is a good thing to do, AND he also says that you develop some resistance to your own animals. So maybe Ryan’s symptoms will get a little better over time. I know I’m much sneezier around other people’s animals. :)

I hope this helps! If you need bath advice, shoot me an e-mail. There is a suggested technique! :)

She’s so beautiful. Having her will make all of your lives better.

Too cute! My dog always tries to get in my lap when I’m on my laptop–I think it is the heat. We debated naming our dog Georgia, even though she is a poodle and not a bulldog.

I, too, understand the college football mania. UGA’s first game was today and I became a football widow once again. (I’m joking–DH isn’t too bad about it, thank goodness!)

Awesome kitty! We have four. We started with a stray who wandered up. Then I had always wanted an orange kitty, so we went looking for one. The orange kitty we found had a sister, and the adoption place didn’t want to separate them, so we took both. Of course we love the sister too, so it wasn’t a sacrifice. Then we went on vacation, and when we first arrived at our hotel, we saw this tiny kitten trying to get in the back door of the hotel. We thought he was lost, so we took him in to see if someone was missing him. It turns out he was a stray and the hotel staff had been feeding him. He was too tiny to put back out, so we kept him in our hotel room for the week fully intending to take him to a no kill shelter when we got home. Of course we fell in love with him, and he is now named Quincy as he is from La Quinta Inn!

I have allergies too. I take Clariton during the day and Benedryl at night. It keeps it under control. Also diligent vacuuming and washing help. I’ve also heard people suggest keeping the kitties out of the bedrooms to help control allergies. Sorry for the long story, but as an English teacher, I don’t know the meaning of short.
