serendipity comes in the form of a Cheeto

2009-03-13T03:17:42Z

All tuckered out, originally uploaded by saska01. Today Dan was at Petco getting Cola her shedding-season grooming. As he walked by the cat adoption cages, a magical orange kitten called out to him. When he held Cola up to the cage, the ki...

Poster child for butter

2009-03-09T17:32:48Z
