Misty & Gizmo

Gizmo's tail begins within an hour of adopting Misty, July 1997. We had gone from the Animal Shelter right to the vet for Misty's initial exam and while we waited, a woman came in with an armload of kittens. Ohhhhh, how sweet! Lemme see! Lemme hold! ;) I'm such an incredible softy with all animals, but baby animals just bring out the babble in me!

Into my arms comes this little black and white female with the most delightful markings on her face. As I'm cuddling this little kitten the woman spins her yarn about finding these kittens on the side of the road to the receptionist; who tells the woman that no, we don't take in strays, you need to take them to the shelter.

Oh dear, this little cutie's on her way to the shelter! I'd take her! But I just adopted a purrbie! Nutz!

The woman turns and collects the kitten I've been loving and heads for the door. Before she takes two steps I reach out and snatch MY kitten from her, then realize what I've done, shake my head and tell the receptionist we need another file for the newest member of the family.

Poor little Giz! Everybody picks on her! At least they got away with it when she was a wee baby. Hee Hee Not any more! :D Giz is not the one starting trouble!

Gizmo is my little Drooler ;o) All you have to do is touch her and she begins drooling! None of the other purrbies drool - only Giz! Patches was a drooler and she was a tuxedo purrbie, too.

Giz has always been "the adventuresome one" hunting down and conquering what should be off limits to purrbies.

In July 1998 she squeezed her way inside the stereo.

She has one favorite toy that she always manages to rediscover when I'm on the phone! She really makes that ball whiz around the track, too! ;o)
