adventures with louie, and a recipe: slow cooker chicken and sausage jambalaya
I woke this morning to the tinkling of a jingle bell, the sound of a cat toy being batted around. It was still dark out, well before 6 am, and I had no interest in getting up yet. The tinkling was coming from our bedroom door, then from near my side of the bed, then from across the room. I rolled over and covered my head with the pillow, remembering the reason for the jingle bell.
It was Louie.
Louie is the cat we adopted last summer as a kitten. He, his litter mates, and their mother were victims of the flooding that happened in northern Florida last June after Tropical Storm Debby. The kids and I saw Louie at a cat adoption event held at a local pet store, and after cuddling with him in the store, we knew he was destined to join our family.
