a kitten lost, a kitten found, and a sister in the hospital

Every night when it gets dark Hank likes to sit by the back door and meow until we let him into the backyard. He likes to explore in the jungly grass I suppose. He usually comes back to the door meowing to be let back in around 10 pm because he's either cold or hungry or wants water, but last night at about 11 i realized that Hank was still outside. Blake and I got a flashlight and searched all over our backyard, which is incredibly small. We even tried to jingle his favorite toy and shake up his cat food to see if he'd come running. I was in a crumby mood because earlier when I was taking out the trash the lid on the dumpster came down and smacked me on the bridge of my nose really hard. It still hurts a lot but no bruising. It was also past my bed time, so I called it quits on the cat and headed for bed. After not being able to fall asleep for about a half hour I decided to walk around the block and see if Hank was anywhere that I could see him. Just two houses over was probably the funniest sight I've seen in the pet world lately. It was Hank and two of the neighborhood cats sitting in a circle like a bunch of cool kids at recess or something. It was particularly funny because the neighborhood cats are fully grown, fat, super fluffy things and hank was about half as tall and stick skinny compared to those two. I guess cats need to socialize sometimes. When hank saw me he tried to creep under a bush, but he didn't run so I brought him inside and gave him a treat. My cat is a good boy, he just wanted to hang out with the older kids. hahha, I really wish I had a picture of it. Also, Michele is havin a baby today!

Somehow my blog got suspended and I couldn't use it until someone from blogger could review it and verify that it's not a spam blog. weird, huh? Anyway, here are just a few pictures of my pets. Bella is the boxer and Hank is the kitten.

Hank and Bella are actually great friends! Boxers and known for being very good and loving with other small animals and human babies. Sometimes Bella does try to show her love for Hank a little too strong and ends up smashing or smothering him somehow, but that's usually when their harmless "chasing game" starts. It's good fun and it keeps them in shape!
Here's hank just a few days after we got him. He has grown a lot in the past couple months, but he's still pretty cute :)

This is how Bella looks at you when you ask her a question and she doesn't recognize any of the words you used. Bella will be 3 years old in December.
Blake took this picture of Hank and me napping, or "hankin out" 
Putting clothes on Bella is one of our favorite pastimes at home. Bella is usually a good sport about it.
I don't know what it is about a dog in a t-shirt that is so hysterical to me.
