Shaggy

Shaggy came to live with us in 2008. We had some trouble with mice in our house and we didn't want to use poison. We live in the woods, so we thought of something that could just chase them away. So my aunt came up with the idea of taking a cat, because only the smell of a cat would chase the mice away. So we went to a shelter for cats in Westerlo. There we wanted to get a little cat, because he/she would easier get used to the dogs, but all the kittens were too scared, they wouldn't cope with two giant dogs. Then the lady that helped us said that there was a cat in an upstairroom who really needed friendship and attention. So we went to take a look and when we came in, we immediately knew that this was the one we were gonna take home. First day Viggo barked at Shaggy for half an hour. Second day we took Shaggy on our laps, dogs sniffed a bit. Third day everything was fine, cat and dogs felt happy and still do! 
We don't celebrate Shaggy's actual birthday, because we don't know when he was born exactly. We celebrate his adoptionday, so the day he joined our family.
