The first steps to giving away Rex and Ruby are underway. Shelley put together a little resume with pictures of them, what they like, etc. Someone is now trying to find them another good home.
When Shelley and Jack were dropping off the information, they starting talking. The short version of the conversation went a little something like this.
Jack: "Mom, will we be able to visit Rex and Ruby after we find them a new home?"
Shelley: "Probably not. We won't know the people, but it will be a good home."
Jack started to get a little sad.
Jack: "Did you ever have to give away a cat?"
Shelley: "Yes, after my mom died, Pa made me give away my cat because he didn't like cats."
They had a short discussion about that and then, so Jack wouldn't get sad, Shelley changed the subject.
Shelley: "When we were at the wedding over the weekend, our friends John and Paola mentioned that they have dog and live up by the lake. Don't you think it would be fun to go up there? Then we could play with their dog and we could go out on the lake."
Jack: "Mom, we're talking about cats here."
Shelley with a little chuckle, thought to herself, "You little s#@t".
Lesson learned: Don't try to pull anything over on Jack.
