At last, a pic of Tequi !

So, her name is Tique...

I finally have the right name for the female active duty foster cat, it's Tique (Tiki). I emailed the owner and she got right back to me with lots of information about Tique and Josh. The parents are in Guam and she says it's beautiful but she misses her cats and is grateful the Humane Society does fostering for military men and women. I still don't have a picture of Tique because she doesn't come out much yet. I'm sure she will eventually, but until then, I'll keep laying on the floor and try to pet her while she's taking refuge under the futon. Josh has ventured out of the room a bit and has smacked Ditto through the baby gate. I imagine the first swat where he has his claws out, Ditto will learn not to mess with him! Victoria visits their room every day and is making friends.

Meet Josh, my active duty foster cat.

Looks a lot like Nash huh?! I picked up Josh and his sister Tequila Jean yesterday, these are the foster cats that I will have a while because their "people" got sent into active duty to Guam. Josh is a 14 pound linx point siamese and Jean is a 13 pound short hair black cat. She hasn't come out from under the futon yet so I wasn't able to get a picture of her. I am going to keep them isolated for a few days so they get acclimated to the dogs barking, other cats meowing, stuff like that. They still have their claws so I don't want them going postal on anyone either! Josh seems really sweet and has very soft fur. Wonder what TJ feels like!!

Valley of the Sun Half Marathon

I completed another half marathon yesterday. It was a great run but difficult. There were a few pretty good hills to climb and my body decided to fight back by cramping. I had to walk several times because of the stomach cramps but I still got my best time for a half yet! I finished in 2 hours and 16 seconds (2:00:16), that's over a minute faster then the Lost Dutchman run but I didn't have to walk in that one. I am disappointed about having to walk, but considering that I hadn't run since the Lost Dutchman run, I am pleased with my time. It was a beautiful run and I'm glad that I participated.
