Let's See the Animals

[Allyson]

That was my second guess, but I figured that for the time being "future" would fit best... once you get married, I assumed you'd switch it to that other f-word.

Oh, it already is.

The history of Izzy and his name is quite comical. A cat had a litter on the loading dock at my wife's office in early winter, then moved on, leaving them there. All of the other kittens had been taken, and since we already had a house full of animals, we weren't really looking to take in another one.

So we took him, but no one (not even the vet) could tell whether he was a he or a she. After a few days of trying to see ANYTHING, I jokingly asked, "Izzy a boy, or Izzy a girl?" ...and Izzy was born.

Prolly had to be there.

With Lionel, the shelter originally thought he was a girl so they named him Luna. But no way was I going to let my little boy have such a gay name so Lionel it was.
