Ginger's adventures

Moving from our small townhouse to a much larger house has been an adjustment for both animals. However, our cat, Ginger, has really enjoyed the new exploring opportunities that the bigger space has given her. We definitely haven't seen her as much since we've moved, and many times we have found her in the most unsuspecting places. Just yesterday she scared the heck out of me when I opened the door to the dark mudroom and something furry ran past my legs. I screamed and quickly reached over to flip the light switch on. As I did so, I saw an orange tail go around the corner of the cabinet. That darn cat!!
A few nights ago, Brad and I went into the kitchen to discuss the question of the night.... "What's for dinner?" This seems to be the question of the night EVERY night, by the way. Anyways, we were searching through the pantry, the freezer and the fridge when suddenly Brad looked up and said, "Well, look who it is." Yeah, you guessed it...it was Miss Ginger.





At first, we both started laughing, but it only took a few seconds for me to realize that in order for her to get up on top of the cabinets, she must have jumped onto the counter first. That is NOT okay!! She knew better than to do that in the townhouse. I don't know why she thinks it is okay to do it in this house, but it's not cool. I quickly began telling her to get down, so that she would know that it's not okay to jump onto the counters at all. So, I yelled at Ginger, Brad continued to laugh, and Ginger looked at me like this...



Then, of course, I started laughing again. (I really hope that we will be able to discipline our children better than this.) Ha! So, Ginger got down a few minutes later. When she was ready, of course! We are going to have to work on keeping her off of the counters again, but it was good for a laugh! :)
