Espresso
Today in central Arkansas, while everyone was packing into Wal-Mart for batteries and bottled water in anticipation of the remnants of Hurricane Ike, we were at the Humane Society picking out this little guy:
He's six months old and very sweet and cuddly. He can't stay out of Chad's lap. (Kind of like me when we were dating -- haha.) He's black with a wide, white stripe down his tummy and he looks very handsome. They were calling him "James Bond" at the shelter. Then we tried naming him after a designer and came up with "Versace," which Julia changed to "FUR-sace." But that still didn't seem to fit. So we decided to name him after the next person who called our house. But "Lynn" didn't seem to fit, either. We finally decided on "Espresso," which we think is perfect.
We still miss Spanky, but we think Espresso will be a fine addition to the family.

Deana - I'm hoping you're in touch with your friends and family in southeast Texas. It's worse than it looks - total devastation to Galveston, Bolivar, Crystal Beach and over to Orange Co. Very sad.
Cute cat.

Looking at that top picture of Espresso, does he have a leg growing out of his chest ... ??

Why, yes, Dad. As a matter of fact, he does. That's how we got him at a discount.
