We're BACK!!!!

Well, a lot has gone on since I've last written in the log. Callie has us completely trained now. We (or should i say I) get up every morning between 3 and 3:30am to let her out. She starts with a quiet little "meow" and then gives me a minute... or 30 seconds to respond. If I don't, the quiet little "meow" volume increases exponentially until I finally give in. If I try to wait too long, it's not just the volume... she then jumps on my chest and meows at the top of her voice. I think I can actually hear the words "Can you hear me now???" and I can't possibly ignore that! She also makes sure her food dish is always full, whether she is planning on eating right then or not. She will get your attention, then take you into the kitchen where her bowl is and sit in front of it looking at you like "What's your problem? Can't you see it's getting low? Get with the program... add some food!" which of course we do immediately. Needless to say, she has us wrapped around her little claws... which brings us to another point. I have finally learned that her claws are VERY sharp and she knows how to use them! Of course it's usually my fault if I'm clawed. Now that I know it only hurts or bleeds for a minute or two I do tend to play more with her. Now, the next adventure is about to begin. Check back soon to hear all about Buddy... the new kid on the block (and possibly Callie's son) and how he has wormed his way into our hearts.. and soon... into our house.
