Our Newest Edition


This is Maynard. He came to live with us today.



So far, he doesn't seem to get along too well with our dogs.











However, he does seem to like to sleep on my shoulder.










This ought to be fun.


UPDATE!!!!

OK. so we decided our new edition did not really seem like one who would be called Maynard. As much as Jenny wanted an orange tiger kitten named Maynard the name did not seem right. So we decided to look up some Irish names and see what felt right. The choices came down to Neill and Emmett. Jenny liked Neill (an Irish name after her favorite hockey player Chris Neill), I preferred Emmet (after the Irish Poet Robert Emmet). We decided to let fate decide. We put each name on separate pieces of paper and I folded them up and shuffled them between each hand. Jenny blindly chose which hand to go with. And so without further ado, may I introduce Mr. Emmet N. Wade.
(Yes, his middle name is Neill, compromise is the secret to a good marriage).
