Olivia

Day 27: Pets

Our first (and only as of now) pet is Olivia. We got her the year before Grant was born, so for about a year she was our baby. She is truly a unique kitty. She can be loving and snuggly, but can also be quite the feisty little one. She is an indoor/outdoor cat, which I said I did not want to have, but ended up not being able to resist her being inside. She acts a little like a puppy dog at times. If we are hanging out in the living room, she is there too. If we move back to the bedroom, she comes along. She sleeps in the papasan chair in our bedroom every night...all night. She only gets up when Paul gets up to get ready for work. Sometimes she will snuggle with me as I sleep, but never with Paul (unless I am gone for the night, then she snuggles with him). We are constantly laughing at the positions and places in which we find her. When she comes inside, she will follow you around the house until you walk back to the bathroom (where her food is) with her, and she doesn't like it if you leave the bathroom while she is still eating. Here are some of my favorite pictures of her. (I realize that there are a lot here, but this might be the only post she ever gets!)

And then there was Grant...At first Olivia completely ignored that he was even around. But she eventually got used to the idea and would just work her way in wherever she could.
Grant has eventually taken over each of Olivia's cute spots...but we still love her too :)

Grant seems to really like Olivia. She tolerates him. But I think Grant would rather have a dog...
