Pumpkin Patch Kid
Well over a decade ago, I stopped by our neighborhood grocery store
and as I approached the doors,
I saw a small Tortie kitten on top of the stack of pumpkins
in front of the store.
Whatever I had stopped by the store for was never purchased.
I did however come home with our first Tortie.
She was amazing, never batted an eye
as I put her in my car and drove home,
she just sat on the floor of the front passenger seat
and gave herself a bath.
Stella has such a powerful personality,
in a laid back kind of way,
but she is pure Tortie and has a well developed tortitude.
I am so thankful for our Pumpkin Patch Kid.
What are you thankful for on this Thankful Thursday?
