It's Not Always About The Dogs....It's About Rooney!!

OK, so the photos aren't very good, but gee, have you ever tried taking a photo of a moving target?? This little guy never sits still.

I was trying to get a good shot of his beautiful blue eyes. I think you get the idea, anyway.

Rooney is my first experience with having a cat from the beginning. It's hard to believe that it was almost a year to the day that we brought home this little ball of fur that only weighed 1.2 pounds. He is a strapping 8 pounds now and still growing.

Rooney was my "impulse" purchase. Well, not really. While strolling through a pet store, my husband and I saw a sign for "ragdoll kittens". It was funny because we'd never seen any around and I had been reading about them and always wanted one. However the price tag was high and I just resigned myself to admiring them from a distance, even though Charlie told me if I wanted him, to go ahead and buy him.

So, we left. Next day at work, I was thinking about this little fur ball all day. I called Charlie at lunch time and asked him if he was serious about me getting the kitten. He just laughed at me and when he came to pick me up from work, he had the cat carrier in the truck....."just in case".

So, home we come and now we are a family of 2 people, 2 dogs and 2 cats. Very well balanced.

Rooney has grown into a beauty and one of the most laid back and loving cats I have ever seen. Of course, I'm sure that Sportz would take except to that......especially when Rooney is pouncing on him from the arm of the couch. I'm sure Sonic and Tess would take except to that too. Poor girls were walking around with tucked tails for awhile....at least until Rooney found a better "toy" to pounce on.
