Introducing ZuZu

We got a new kitten last Saturday and named her ZuZu (from It's a Wonderful Life). She has to be the sweetest, most affectionate kitten we've ever had. She loves to be held and purrs all the time. She comes running up to us when she sees us.

We adopted her from a shelter and her eye was running so I took her to the vet the day after we got her. She has an upper respiratory infection and conjuctivitus, which is contagious. So we have to keep her from our other kitty, Boo. At first that was easy because Boo wasn't thrilled with the new addition, but now they want to play. ZuZu has been on medications for a week now so I'm hoping she is no longer contagious.

Your pet's face on a stamp!

There is a great site, www.photostamp.com, that allows you to put one of your own photos on a real stamp. You can order as few as 20 (one sheet) stamps. The cost for a sheet of 37-cent stamps works out to about $1.00 per stamp.

You simply upload the photo you want to their site, choose a border color and tell them how many (and what denomination) you want. You don't have to get a first-class denomination. (Since the cost of stamps is going up this month, I believe they have the 39-cent denomination available now.)

This makes a great gift. I put a favorite photo of Mickey on the stamp for my husband for Christmas. I put one of them in a doghouse frame for him as well. He is going to use some of them for thank you cards he is sending for Christmas gifts he received and we'll see who notices.
