A dog provisionally named Humphrey is eagerly awaiting our trip to the Petawawa SPCA on Saturday morning to pick him up. He’s pretty durned cute, as evidenced in this pic.
The cats may never speak to us again … not that they speak to us much now. But still.

Kristin. - Roxy and Julius are about to have their cat world ROCKED.
Good thing Humphrey appears to be a cute dog. Better take pics this weekend!!
Jen - You got him! That’s awesome!
I’m curious to know how R&J are going to handle this!?
dan - Julius’s first thoughts upon seeing Humphrey (in his British accent): “A dog? I must redouble efforts to swathe every article of black clothing in the house with my fur. That will teach them. Muhahaha!”
Roxy’s first thoughts upon seeing Humphrey: “panic! paaaanic! panicpanicpanic!”
(editor’s note: these are Roxy’s thoughts nearly every minute of every day, so the arrival of Humphrey shouldn’t be much of a change.)
shannen - I just laughed out loud. I can so hear Roxy saying just that…as she was jetting out of the room, of course. Julius on the other hand…Why did you give him a British accent?
Kristin. - I can totally see where Dan is coming from with the British accent. Kind of like how I think my own cat would speak with a lisp.
dan - The earliest record of cats in Britain dates back as far as 936 AD when a law was passed making it illegal to kill cats by the Welsh Prince Hywel.
Unfortunately for the cat it fortunes changed in the 17 Century.
The cat became a victim of superstition and association with them was regarded as witch craft, black cats especially suffered as they were thought to help witches with spells and it was believed that witches could turn themselves into to black cats.
In the Victorian times the cat became favoured again. The Victorians believed that cats showed a good example of Motherhood and cleanliness. Cats became the in pet being featured on cusions and samplers.
