Our pets 🐈🐆🐕‍🦺

I wanted to talk about our pets today. We adopted a dog from a shelter the other day and she fits in here wonderfully already. She was having trouble getting qdopted because ahe had a bacterial infection that robbed her of her sight in her left eye; so she needs a bit of special attention as she's partially blind. That made me very sad and I decided rather quickly I wanted to take her home. Of course, I called Gabe and asked him what he wanted and he agreed with me; another thing that brought us togeher is we both love animals. She's a fairly quiet dog and is so sweet, I'm really glad we got her. Her name is Mochi. The gray tabby cat is named Earl Grey and he was a stray I adopted 3 years ago when he walked into my yard, hungry and dirty. I started feeding him, cleaned him up, and took him in. I took him to the vet and he was luckily pretty healthy for a street cat. He's spoiled now to the point I hope he doesn't remember having to fight for scraps of food. The fluffy girl is named Bisquit and she's the one who loves to jump on us (usually him) for food and pets. She's very attached to Gabe whereas Earl Grey is more of a momma's boy; Mochi loves everyone. 🤣🤣 Bisquit came from a shelter too; she was dumped there in the middle of the night last year and has a bit of an attitude so didn't get adopted until we found her. We've discussed getting more pets but this is all we can afford at the moment; especially with marriage and possibly a child or two on the horizon. I would want our child or children to love animals as much as we do, you know? I won't lie; taking care of them is a lot, extra cleaning every day, stupid expensive vet bills, and food that costs more than the food we eat sometimes, but it's worth it. They're warm, sweet, and loving; simply grateful for people who love them. I see the love and gratitude in their eyes when they look at us; that makes it all worth it. Gabe is petting Mochi right now and I think she's falling asleep. ♥️💕♥️💕 Life is good.😁😁 He seems to be feeling a bit better this morning; I finally got him to eat something more than a bowl of soup or applesauce. He drank his coffee like normal too which makes me happy. I just want him to feel better; it hurts me to see him sick. I think I might go join my beloved for some snuggles.
