Happy Birthday and My Blogiversary!

Today is Ramius' 13th Birthday! He is such a wonderful cat and has been a really good sport as we've drug him on our adventures over the years. I've never had a cat who road trips as well as Ramius does. He's moved four times (not including the move from his mother to our house when he first came to live with us) and has settled in very quickly each time. He's had to deal with a new baby when Caleb came along (which of course led to the inevitable day that Caleb got strong enough to carry him, whether he wanted to be carried or not), he lost his first doggy, Bear a few years ago, and now has to share HIS house with silly Finn.
He has virtually no gray hairs and has handled everything we've thrown at him with a superb display of feline grace. If he feels the need to lecture us the middle of the night sometimes, well that's his perogative as a cat. He meows at us if we take too long in the shower, if he sees the bottom of his food bowl, and occaisionally, just on general principle, for no apparent reason. He's always up for a new adventure, whether it's taking Caleb to school in the morning (Ramius rides shotgun of course) or taking a tub bath (yes, he does climb into the tub and sits on your lap in the water), and when we travel, he comes running to make sure he isn't left behind (he likes looking at the 18 wheelers).
Happy Birthday Mr. Kitten! I hope we get to have many more adventures with you!

Also, three years ago last Saturday (Groundhog Day), I started this blog. It wasn't until Ramius' birthday that I started blogging regularly though - so either Groundhog Day or Ramius' Birthday is my blogiversary. Whichever date you count from, I've been babbling online for 3 years now and you guys are still stopping by. Thanks so much, from the bottom of my heart for reading my uncaffeinated meanderings for 3 years!
