Pets...

One of the things that Mikayla's birth mother told our social worker was that she wanted her baby to be in a home with lots of pets. I think that when she saw our profile, that was part of the selling point. We donated four pages to our pets. I want to think that Mikayla's birth mother first had a good feeling about Mark and myself and that she also knew that the animals that we have in the house would treat Mikayla well. This has been the fact. The one we thought would have a problem with Mikayla (not aggressive), would be Eva. She is over 13 years old now and sometimes she doesn't want to be around me. She gets up and walks away. The amazing thing is with Mikayla, Eva lets her poke, prod, and lean on. Eva sniffs Mikayla wondering what this little monster is.

The one that Mikayla loves the most is Milo, our cat. This can be seen in one of the earlier post I did. You see Mikayla screaming when Milo walks in the room. Mikayla is just fascinated by this cat. She doesn't scream like that when she sees other cats, only Milo. We are lucky that we have such a great family. One that seems to get along with all the ups and downs.

Below is a video of Mikayla playing with Milo.
