Coming Soon to the Breadbox

Our soon-to-be new addition, Boomer Conrad Pyle!

Ben and I have been talking about adopting Boomer Conrad since we started dating. We just didn't know his [full] name yet. We knew he would be named Boomer, and the Conrad was added following a Saturday trip to Petsmart to simply bask in the cuteness of the kittens up for adoption. I couldn't get one yet--I had a visitor from Australia and was about to get married--but simply meeting His Preciousness, the little orange kitty named Conrad, inspired me. Boomer was the name we had set our hearts on, but who says he couldn't have a middle name? Boomer Conrad Pyle. I knew he would soon be ours.

We haven't met him yet, by the way. He was born on approximately March 24, 2011 in a litter of four. Two other orange boys accompanied him, along with a brown female tabby. We had tons of bad weather here and the vet techs that rescued them believe their mother became scared and abandoned the litter during the storm. The babies are currently four weeks old. We had hoped to meet them this Wednesday, but they had been sneezing and placed in isolation until they got better... they can't have visitors for one more week! So, we'll probably be taking a special trip out there to see them, even though we only travel to "that side of town" (Oviedo, FL) every other Wednesday.

Although we have never met, we love Boomer. We have fallen in love with the descriptions we have received from the vet techs--that he is the perfect kitten that does all of the cute kitten things, like play with his own feet. And the picture up there? A-freaking-dorable! He is deliciously cute and I can't wait to make him a part of our family!
