Today Zoe and I went to the wedding of our good friends Kim and Doug.

This morning was spent baking bread for the pot-luck, wrapping wedding presents, getting camera gear together, and generally getting ready. The weather report called for rain but it was partially cloudy. Perfect weather for an outdoor wedding. A good time was had by all. We got home after 5 and I crashed. (Naps are good!) I woke up to find that there will be two more beings living with us.

On the Fourth of July I posted about maybe getting a new kitty. It's a little Desert Lynx. His name is Bubba. The Desert Lynx have Bobcat in their lineage. Very interesting cats. Our friend Beverly Graham (she runs Operation Sack Lunch, which feeds the homless in Seattle) was considering letting us have one of her kittens. It took a while to come to a decision. First, she had been ill, then she tried keeping them apart to see how that would work and they really need each other so she was considering giving us both.

This is the second one. His name is Bart. Beverly has all sorts of animals (11 cats, several dogs, llamas, chickens, ducks, exotic (loud) birds, and I don't know what all) but these two were special since she had to deliver them or the mom and two kittens would have died. And Zoe is only one of two people Beverly would consider giving a cat. We have two cats, one from the local animal shelter, and one that Beverly gave us several years ago, a Somali. Tuesday Bubba and Bart move in. There are conditions. The first is that Bart and Bubba's mother adjusts OK. The second is that our cats adjust to the new kittens. It's about wat is best for the cats. I'm looking forward to them.
