Strauss arrives!

I've always had a soft spot for animals. 🐱🐱🐭🐹🐰🐻🐼🐨🐯🦁

In fact, I am a bit obsessed. I've always been an animal lover and loved having pets. In fact, I'd probably have a pack of dogs and several cats if no one stopped me. Thankfully, for our house, wallets, and sanity, Greg regularly prevents this from happening. And I'm not looking for him to run away either. 😝😝

I've owned many kinds of animals throughout my lifetime -- from fish and guinea pigs to ferrets (best story everπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚), turtles, hermit crabs, bugs, cats, and, of course, dogs. I also had a neighborhood pet-sitting service from 5th grade through college. My first dream career path? Becoming a veterinarian. 🐱🐢

Naturally, having a newborn and toddler at home is the absolute BEST time to introduce more four-legged friends to our home. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

But Kay, as we know, is not normal. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Meet Strauss. He's a beautiful 5 year old big gray boy who is such a cuddler and lover. He's coming from a family who had two young boys and was absolutely fabulous -- and so chill -- with them. He may currently still be in hiding in our house after arriving this afternoon, but we are beyond excited to get to know him. And who is THE most thrilled?!! Will, the early animal lover, of course. #hesclearlymyson 😍😍🐱🐱

I've always believed children deserve the gift of pets early on to instill a lifelong love of animals. Pets teach us responsibility, compassion, humor, loyalty, trust, and what unconditional love and joy can be like. What a privilege for any child! πŸ’—

Welcome to our crazy household, Strauss! Despite how insane and loud it may get, we will love you to pieces. 

Always. πŸ’ž

And we also love to cuddle. πŸ˜πŸ±πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ€—
