They say it's your birthday!

 Hey, this is Lupo here!!  Guess what tomorrow is?  My Mamma says it's the Equal Knocks.  I'm not sure what that means.   But it IS my birthday!!!  I'm three years old!!

Maybe you are wondering why my name is Lupo.  It means "wolf" in Italian.  It's because Mamma thought I looked like a wearable wolf.  But she didn't know how to say that in Italian so she just settled for Lupo.  I don't mind.  I like it!!  I'm a little guy, but "lupo" makes me sound big and strong!

I was a lucky kitten to find this place.  It started with Harry.  I liked Harry.  He was a dog, a very sweet and nice dog and I would walk around with him, even if the human got flustered.  Sometimes I even climbed on Harry.  

Pretty soon, I found the cortile and food and Mamma.  Then one day, Mamma opened the door, so I walked in!  There were toys!  And scratchy posts!  And there was another cat who was friendly to me (that turned out to be Calzini!)  

I got my ears cleaned up, and my fur cleaned up and I had to see the dogtor....but pretty soon, I was just one of the gang!  

I got healthier and my fur got shiny and almost black (it's really a very dark chocolatey brown.) 

Mamma says I have a Siameeses in me.  I don't know what that means either.  All I know is, I spend the morning in her lap, making lots of biscuits and sucking on her finger.  Sometimes I do that at night too, but not as much as I used to.  Does that mean I'm growing up?  

Oh, and one day Notte came along.  She was a little baby and she would hang around me ALL the time!  She still does and she's not a baby anymore!

I can't wait to see if I get a special treat tomorrow!

Rain...I don't mind

 Our relentless heat wave finally came to an abrupt end.  One day it was still hot, dry summer and the next...RAIN!  And with that...lower t...
