pretty kitty

you know us.
we're not exactly cat people.
mostly because of mark's allergies,
but i've also been convinced we're too loud, goofy,
and generally in-your-face for a cat.

bella, bless her, has proven me wrong.
though she is welcome
on my parents deck for a snooze anytime
(she and my mom share
a strong anti-chipmunk stance),
this particular nap
came after being chased around the yard
by shua and various cousins.

joshua took full advantage of her patience and exhaustion.
