So, the reason we went to Utah when we did (instead of when Amber would be in town, when we could stay longer or when I could do a triathlon on a Saturday) was because a relative of a friend said they would give us a sweet little dog that they had to find another home for. Well, the day we were going to leave, she called and said that she was going to give the dog to her neighbor instead. The kids were pretty disappointed. They had been waiting to get a dog for several years. Right before we were about to leave to drive back to California, Elizabeth saw someone selling kittens. We gave in to thecuteness and bought one. It was a nice replacement for the dog we almost got. We named the kitty Maile (Hawaiian for Princess). She did really well on the long drive home. Elizabeth has a rat, but this is our first family pet.
