Lily's Pet

We don't have any pets and we probably won't have any pets for a really long time! Every now and again Lily asks for a dog or a squirrel or a horse but nothing sticks and I breathe a huge sigh of relief. Don't get me wrong, pets are great, I grew up with every type of animal imaginable but I just don't want any. My dad and Jeanne have a cat that they inherited from Lily's Uncle Mike, his name is Ginger and he is an old fellow of about 900 and other than the fact that he is not allowed inside he lives the life of Riley. My dad has a huge dislike for cats. Now before you get all postal on me, let me tell you that my father would not ever see any harm done to any creature not even a flea, Ok, maybe a flea but that would be it. Ginger is not allowed inside because he leaves occasional "surprises" and since my folks have spent the last 4 years renovating their 400yr old house "surprises" are not welcome. Ginger however has a heated house that he lives in! Actually on this last trip home Ginger was found to be all curled up on a chair in the living room in the middle of the day, he managed a "break-in" when no one was looking. See, his life is just fine. Anyhoo, when Lily first met him all she ever heard was my father yelling, "Ginger, Out" as he tried to sneak in through the door as Lily came into the house and Lily actually thought that that was his name. And so to this day she calls him, Ginger Out. For Christmas one of our friends, who knows this story only to well, bought Lily her very own kitten...........

Those are wonderful pets, good thing it doesn't "poop" cuz that would be freaky.

Hope Lily enjoys her new pet.

That is precious. Hey, pretty much like my cats. They laze about all day too...but there IS that pesky litter box ;0)

Love how 'Ginger Out' is like one complete little name!

I had actually seen one of those kittens a long time ago and had forgotten!
That might make the perfect pet for my Lily (who happens to LOVE kitties)
Thanks for a great idea!
P.S. Very cute video. I love Lily's little voice.

I think it's the best present ever, because it's silent!
