Our New Pet

So Lane comes home with what remained of some poor bobcat who was out minding his own business when bam, snuffed out like a candle....no, Lane didn't make the kill -- his friend did -- but Lane wanted to show the paw to the girls. The big girls took a look, "oh that's cool"---they moved on....

Then there was Abby who, of course, became a story to tell.....so yes, I had to recreate the moment in these photos to really tell the story.

Abby holds the bobcat paw and starts petting it, like, lovingly petting it, saying "nice kitty" "pretty kitty" "good kitty"...yes, I know, disturbing.......

Then she puts the paw to her face and says, "Ahhh, my kitty"

Then she paws at me with it saying, "meow, meow".....
It is just so sad that we don't have pets.....but hey, if a paw will do, good news for us! It's cheaper, doesn't need fed or potty trained, doesn't make noise, doesn't need to be boarded if you travel....in fact travels easily, doesn't shed....this could be a good thing (ha ha).
