well I'm sitting here typing with one hand and kitten in the other. Yes we have a new member of the spud family yesterday evening- Trudis pet so Trudi named - its Sasha I say it as the fellow we got it from said he was 90 percent sure it was girl - which is what we wanted. so will get it checked by a vet this week - shes bonded with us all already - i think she was one of the runts as she is tiny for her age (9 weeks) but we will soon feed her up. I'm in love. if it turns out to be a boy it wont be the end of the world - in case anyones wondering.
