Family Introductions.....

Sullivan:

This is my son. He’s so smart that it scares me (and his teachers as well- who should all get awards for the trauma he puts them through). Brilliant, witty, and odd in the most perfect way…

Brad:

My husband. His job is to make me laugh and be respectful- that’s the only requirements or expectations I put on him. Fortunately for him, he’s hilarious- so he gets to stick around.

Cats (in chronological order):

Leo: 1994(?)- 6/18/2010  Leo has since passed away from stomach cancer, but I’m keeping his photo up here because he was my best friend for almost 15 years, and my heart was torn from my chest when he died.  He is forever family.

Oscar:  He is known as “Ossa-fattness” or “The Emotional Rapist”. He drools, and is affectionate to the point of madness, and if you look him in the eye he won’t leave you alone for hours. I got him as a set with Leo… he’s about 16 years old, and him and Leo are in love.

Sluggo: Nicknamed “Sluggopoo” by Brad, he’s about 3 years old. Brad is creepy about Sluggo. I think he loves this cat more than he loves me. Sluggo is part “Maine Coon”- so he’s poofy and giant and has really long bizarro fur between his toes. He’s also obsessive-compulsive and will groom anything that is near him for hours and hours and hours.  He has his own myspace page… he doesn’t check it too often (because Myspace is SOOOOOO 2006), but feel free to be his friend on there:  Sluggo the Omniscient Warrior’s Myspace page

Delila Midnight: Lila for short… she talks. Non stop. All day chatter. She runs like she’s got a rod shoved up her ass and will stand by the sink and scream for someone to turn on the water. I saved her from the most horrifyingly neglectful pet store on the planet, and for that- I’m her favorite. Did I mention she has lazer-beam eyes… well, she does.

Daisy Ding-Dong Stupid Face: She’s our baby. I found her and her brothers behind our old house almost dead. I nursed them all back to health, found good homes for her brothers and kept her. She’s out-of-control insane, is the destroyer of everything, and she hates Brad (but follows me everywhere I go). And she’s stupid. Really really really really stupid. Like, repeatedly running into walls kindof stupid. She’s part monkey, and part squirrel, and has given everyone in our family scars.  But I love her.

And we now have….. a puppy!!!

Monkey the Chiuweenie:  I have never been a big fan of dogs until I got our little Monkey puppy… but now I am a full blown creepy dog person.  Monkey is the size of a cat, has been raised by 4 cats, so she thinks she’s a cat.  And to have a Chihuahua-Wiener dog that acts like a cat is pretty much the best thing ever.
