Dearest Diary,

The Scoop houshold has grown by one!

I had been thinking about it for a while, but after my alien encounter and almost-robbery, I knew it was finally time to get some back-up.

My next-door neighbour Saltwater Sky is a dog lover. He spent the better part of an afternoon trying to convince me to get a dog

"They’re better at guarding your house, Marzi," he assured me. But I shook my head. While I love ALL animals, I knew the pet I really wanted to bring home was a kitty.

I phoned the animal shelter. The kitten I picked would be vaccinated, washed and wormed before they brought him to my home. I could hardly wait!

At around 8:30pm, I was introduced to little Stark.

We hit it off immediately, diary. I think he’s going to bring me so much joy.

With kitten purs and mewls,
Marzipan Scoop
