I have moved around over the past ten years. I have left a little part of me everywhere I went-- left some possessions, left friends, left memories. I came to Pennsylvania and decided this is where I want to settle and grow some roots. I was ready to start my life and my family. The hard part about being single and moving around a lot is the lack of friends in the new place. So, I needed to change that.

I found a local animal shelter and decided to visit for a day. I walked in, and saw this little paw sticking out from a cage. I didn't see the rest of the body... just a very playful paw that was all too excited to find a play toy. I opened the cage and reached in and found this amazingly cute little fur ball. He was the most adorable thing you could imagine. He curled up on my shoulder, nestled in my hair, and slept. I was instantly in love. I took him home that day. That was the beginning of the best friendship I have ever had. And we sure have had our share of excitement!

I come home from work every day to be greeted by my Scouty Boy sitting patiently by the front door. If he isn't there, all I have to do is call his name, and he comes running, instantly purring. He greets me with a smile, and know he missed me just as much as I missed him. He is the most gentle thing I have ever seen. He and I curl up on the couch every night to watch tv (CSI is his favorite). When I take a bath he is right there in the tub with me. Strange, never knew cats liked water. But my Bannana boy does. Yes, I have so many nicknames for him-- Scouty Bouty Bananna Boy is the most common one.. Don't ask me why, it just came out one day.. and he seems to love it.


At night is the best time of all. He has his own stuffed animal he curls up with. Angie is her name, and he can be found kneading and sucking on here as he falls asleep. I couldn't have asked for a better baby than him. I am so blessed that he picked me that day I walked into the shelter.
