Singh from said %1

We just got the call from the foster-mama Marilyn and she asked us if
we could take our Brandy tomorrow instead of just before Labor Day.
Seems that one of her own cats has been making trouble for the baby,
trying to jump her and such, that they want her in a quieter place
where she can be supervised and rest after her spaying. With my and
Louie's work schedule, it works out perfectly. We're told she's off
the pain medication and has nearly returned to her outgoing, crazy
little kitten self, and getting into everything. I was miserable at
work until I checked my messages at break and heard the news!

Tomorrow I work a half day so we'll go to PetSmart to pick up our
baby. The shelter's being really cool about everything, especially in
light of our concerns about our pay schedules. As a tradeoff for
taking Brandy early and getting her away from the surlier cat, we've
been granted an extension on paying the adoption fee, get a free
carrier and a big bag of kitty toys to keep the little one amused
while she recoups in the nice, airconditioned room where she'll be
resting the next few days. One of us will be with Brandy, the other
will keep the other two distracted, and we'll take turns sleeping
with her until we break the other cats in. Stosh and Roxie have been
good in the past about other cats so we don't expect trouble. I'll
have my books; I like reading to the cats, and they seem to like it
too. I look forward to introducing our little girl to Dostoevsky, and
catnip. Especially catnip. I have these catnip-infused blowing
bubbles that makes our kids nuts.

So please join Elizabeth Bahadur Kaur Singh and Buxees Louis Singh in
welcoming Miss Brandy Alexandra Singh, our new baby! Just like the
two-legged kind, they often come at unexpected times, but come with
joy nonetheless!

Blessed be!

Baha, the happy mama
