Meet Ringo

Ringo is the latest addition to our family, isn't he so beautiful? He was dumped near a friend's house, so I managed to convince J we needed him (on the proviso that I don't get a new lamb this year, and that I clean up after him). Well, I already clean up after J, so no biggie. When we got him, his was soooo skinny (worms, most likely).

I felt I had to keep in the tradition we've set ourselves with naming animals - we have Brando, Jagger and Hendrix - so it only made sense to name him after a musician or film star. To find a name for kitty, I actually whipped out my iPod, started scrolling from A through the bands and only made it to B. Later on, a friend mentioned she once had a cat named Zeppelin. Damn, I wish I had scrolled further down to L!

Any more animals and we will have to get an ABN and market ourselves as a zoo.


(so glad kitty doesn't need fancy toys - he loves his beer case)

Gorgeous! I'm going to get a kitten when VB is a bit older.

Oh, he's gorgeous! Is he very tame? Sometimes strays can be so shy...

Hi Miss Emmi - he's very tame! He's such a snuggly little thing, he's constantly on my lap or around my ankles. We were a bit worried he'd be a little pompous thing, but thankfully he's lovey!

Funny you should mention it, Mrs C... I'm still getting a lamb! Well, I'll only have him or her for a few months until it is weaned, then it will be relocated to mow the grass at my parents place. But yay, lamb cuteness coming my way soon! Brando is awesome... such a big, fat boy.
