Was the arrival of your Pet Kid(s) planned or is there a story?: Magic was living on the street. At the time, Rockford was getting old, and Magic started being around so much, that she would drink his water and get into his stuff. Then, our next door neighbor noticed that Magic looked like she was "with child." The combination led us to the vet. It turns out that she was already fixed. Of course, that was after they had drugged and shaved her. We couldn't put the drugged cat back on the street, so she stayed. Somehow, Rockford accepted her (previous attempts had failed).

Rockford passed away in December 2004. We had nursed him through some rough times in his last couple years, but in the end, his kidneys gave out. In the days that followed, Magic kept going to the places that she expected him to be, but there was no Rockford. We decided to get her a kitten.

Our first trip to the Helen Woodward Center yielded nothing. A couple days later, Deb returned and there were a couple of litters of new kittens. In the middle of one of the pens, there was a little gray kitten amongst his brothers and sisters looking at Deb as if to say: "Well, what are you waiting for?" His name at the time was "Theodore." Because his coloring was so similar to Rock's, we named him Sham-Rock Theodore. Dash came when we discovered that despite his relatively clam demeanor, Sham-Rock likes to "dash" around when he has the frenzies...every night at sundown.
