(you will understand the title later)
and sorry for the delay ... I forgot we had a blog.
Heather and I have made our house a home with Gilbert. When I walk in the door the first thing I do is call him like a dog. Then I end up spending the next few minutes looking for him because not only does he not coming running full force to me but he also chooses to spend his "alone time" in spaces like the closet and behind the washer in the laundry room in the literally 2.5 inch gap that, if heather keeps feeding him like she does, he will soon get stuck in.
I have in a way fallen in love with Gilbert. Heather and I treat him like a son. I am more of the father and she is more of the mother. You see, we have had Gilbert for four days now and I haven't fed him yet. I also haven't emptied his litter box or made him any of his favorite paper ball toys. That's all mama Heather. But Papa Kendra just plays with him. Gilbert also sleeps with Heather more than me. Which is actually okay as you can tell by Heather's previous post.
My favorite thing Gilbert does is his random spats of quirkiness. He will, in one moment, be staring off into space being still as can be, and then in the next moment he instantly darts across the room full speed ahead and stops right in his tracks to sit and stare into space again. His little feet pitter patter all the way across the room. The sound just makes my heart melt. I hear him doing it right now actually.
In case you didn't know how we got the name, it is from the awesome movie starring Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio titled, "What's Eating Gilbert Grape." This is a must see. Johnny Depp plays Gilbert and Leonardo plays Arnie, the retarded brother. So when we call Gilbert's name we actually call it like in the movie, therefore, making us sound retarded everytime we say his name.
Well, that's all for now. Gilbert is going to walk across the computer once before I go, so he will leave you with these worjfdsss`1le3v yoeh hs ds frrrrrz ed;zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz-....................................... .....................;;;;;;;;;;plllllm,iol.
