Our 20-Pound Cat

Jeff and I got Gehrig a month after we were married. Because we adopted him around Halloween, I had wanted to call him Pumpkin. That didn't fly with Jeff. I then came up with the name Gehrig, after Jeff's favorite baseball player. I got wife points for that one.

90% of people who meet Gehrig say, "That is a big cat!" He has been on diet food his entire life and it just doesn't seem to help.

Duke definitely acknowledges that Gehrig is in charge. He won't even look the cat in the eye. (BTW - this picture was staged. They don't ever sit next to each other.)

With the addition of the 4 kids and the dog, Gehrig spends most of his days looking annoyed.
