Welcome, Buddy!!

Roger and I were so excited for a date night-- dinner at Casa (after a number of weeks without a date night) and a movie (for the first time in 16 months!). Dinner went well, and we had enough time to take our food home, put it in the fridge, and head out for a short walk on the bike path before the movie. Then, we met Buddy, er, well, Buddy found us. Unfortunately, stray cats rampantly roam on the bike trail, and he was so tiny that we thought that he was still hanging out with his family. He boldly came out on the trail, meowed at us, and followed us. Roger tried to see if any of the nearby soccer families wanted a cat. No luck. We then decided to take him home. So much for the movie! Well, given Izzy's recovery from the stroke, we couldn't keep him. Britti fell right in love, and, after just a few days, Britti and Ramon agreed to adopt Buddy, a beautiful tabby. The vet said that he's completely healthy and, surprisingly, a tiny two year old cat. Buddy is now the most spoiled kitty in Athens :) Welcome, Buddy!
