Adventures with Jinx


On Saturday a package arrived at our apartment. Little did we know that Jinx was inside. He escaped the winter snow prison commonly referred to as Michigan and arrived wearing a sarong. He explained to us that he had escaped and was attempting to hitch a ride to the beach for a little sunbathing. I had a hard time explaining to Jinx that it was one of the rainiest days of the year (I highly doubted he really wanted to go to the beach on that day). With a little convincing he accepted my advice, but still refused to remove his sarong.

We invited him in and offered him a place to stay, at least until we can get him to the beach! After thoroughly examining him we concur that he is extremely well made by loving hands. He arrived in one piece after traveling by air via the United States Postal Service and obviously needed some rest after traveling over 2000 miles to get to us. I question why we are so lucky to have received Jinx, but I am excited just thinking about the places he will go, the things he will see, and the many people he will meet.

Welcome Jinx and stay tuned!

  1. Poor Jinx, now he wished he'd just kept going to Hawaii! He is pretty pale on his white parts....
