Pounce and Axel have decided that they do share some common interests. Such as being nocturnal, chasing fuzzy mice toys and hiding them under the stove, drinking out of the sink, taking naps all day long, and several other interests. So since they share so much in common they have decided to take up a hobby together, bird watching. To assist them with their new hobby of bird watching, Ben kindly installed a bird feeder out on our patio so they can enjoy the birds and occasional squirrel.

So yes these pictures really are of the two of them watching birds. The amazing thing is that they actually sat still for me to take these pictures. Usually when I pull the camera out one or the other comes running so close to me that I can’t take a picture. For those of you unsure of which cat is which, in the top picture Pounce is the cat furthest away and Axel is closest to the camera. In the bottom picture they switched sides so Pounce is laying down in front and Axel is sitting in the back. The way we tell the difference is that Pounce has really defined stripes while Axel’s stripes are mostly on his tail and leg. They are definitely pretty adorable together and a lot of fun to have around!

Tomorrow I get to relax:)

Well, actually I have a bunch of stuff to get done, but I still plan on setting aside some time to just enjoy my day and relax a little.

Pounce and Axel are becoming friends. They still fight a little at times, but it is becoming more of a little brother type of thing I think. The cute thing is that they insist on being in the same room. When one goes to a different room (no matter which one it is) the other immediately follows. It is pretty adorable and kind of reminds me of the early days with Kittie & Patch (except Kittie was a dog…).

Reese got adopted and is going home tomorrow (as long as the people come to get her of course, unfortunately people do back out at the last minute…). I think I may actually cry when I go to work and she isn’t there. I am happy for her, but will miss her at the same time. If only we had a house….

I think when I get old, I may be one of those crazy old ladies with a ton of cats (& dogs in my case). (If anyone is reading this who fits this description, I am not making fun of those ladies obviously since I think I might be one of them some day:). In reality, I just really love being around animals. They definitely add a little something special to life.

I cannot wait till I am a vet tech:)

For those of you who did not know, before the new year I had applied for a veterinary technology program at the local college. After getting Pounce and volunteering at the humane society I discovered that I really loved working with animals. Then I happened to apply for and get the vet assistant job at the humane society. Working there has made me realize how much I really want to pursue this field as a career. So as you can imagine, I have been waiting anxiously to find out if I got into the vet tech program. Even more so the last couple of weeks, since all the information had said that I would find out sometime in March.

So I have been watching the mail the past couple of weeks, just waiting and today when I opened up the mailbox… Well the mailbox contained some amazing news! I GOT IN!!!!! I am so excited, I get to go to school for veterinary technology this fall. Which is pretty crazy, since I will just be graduating in May with my other degree.

(In case anyone is disappointed I didn’t tell them about applying for this program earlier, it is because I did not want to have to be too disappointed and have to tell everyone if I didn’t get in.)
