Enter Spike

After  losing Clyde after 19 years, i sure didn't want to think about getting another pet, at least for quite a while.  add to the fact i also lost my mother in october of the same year, i was satisfied being "pet-less".  then one day in january, 2006, hubster tells me to "put on my shoes, we need to go somewhere".  of course, he wouldn't tell me where, so i was getting slightly annoyed.  to my surprise, we ended up at the animal shelter.  hubby decided that i needed another pet.  unfortunately, they didn't have much to choose from that day, so i suggested that maybe we could try another shelter another day when i was a bit more prepared.   a few days later we found the ASPCA shelter, where they had {unfortunately} a lot of cats to choose from.  one guy in particular caught the eye of hubby, a cute tuxedo cat named Spike.  when hub saw on the cat info card that Spike had been brought in on Christmas EVE, for crying out loud, that's all it took. he picked up Spike from his cage, even let him claw his leather jacket, and he was smitten!   So that's how we ended up with Spike, and since i was already a "Buffy" fan, the name stayed!
