Our Cat Sophie

This is our first baby...Sophie! Adam knew I wanted a kitten so bad, and pretty much said that he didn't think he wanted an animal (guess that's how you are when you never grew up with a pet of your own! -- actually, he did have a puppy for a few weeks when he was really young, but played too rough with it and they had to give it away!). Driving back from his parents house one night he made the mistake of telling me that he saw a sign for free kittens. That was it for me. We went the next day, and there was only ONE left. It was little Soph. She wouldn't come out from underneath the porch, and after about 45 minutes Adam told me, sorry, we'll have to pass since we can't get her out. I was devistated! The owners had left their house about 15 minutes prior and we saw a note from someone named Jared. Don't know why we remember his name, but it's part of the story :) Jared left his name and number for them to call if the cat came out - guess Sophie wouldn't come out for them either! We left a note too, saying please don't call Jared, we live close by and we can come pick her up right away if she comes out. Well, we got a call about an hour later - they wanted us to come pick her up! Yay! It sounds cheesy, but I can't imagine not having her! She's our baby - and Adam loves her just as much now too :)
