New member of the Hart family…

No, really, it had nothing to do with a Georgian pastor’s wife calling me lazy recently for “only” having one child! But, meet Whiskers… When our family left for Georgia in 2004, we had to say two good-byes to pets. One, to our dear old Cocker Spaniel, Taylor, who was almost 12 years and wouldn’t have made the trip and another was to our cat (an animal I thought I’d never like until we needed a “mouser”) named Millie. Weeks after arriving in Tbilisi, where so much was different and odd and unfamiliar, my husband Jim came home with an American Cocker Spaniel, we called him Sonny. He added warmth, and a sense of familiarity to our family. Now, shortly after our return to Tbilisi, we have another unexpected friend who now resides in our house – thanks to a missionary family who arrived at church Sunday night with a box of free kittens. It was hard to resist… so here she is. She’s about a month old and doesn’t leave Madison’s side. She is sweet and a great addition to our home! I can’t believe my first blog is about her, but alas that’s the latest.
