Just HIS luck!

Last Friday night Jess and I had softball games. We had Bryson, Jess' brother, watch the kids. He is working on a Haunted House at his boss' house so the boys went over there to hang out. Just after the second game started we were in the dug out and I heard my cell phone ring. It was Bryson. He said Maddox had been bitten by his boss' cat. I asked if he was okay, how it looked, you know, the usual. I really wasn't all that shocked, because lets face it, this is Maddox. So, I hung up and went back to the game.

Fast forward about two hours later.... we went to Jess' parents and found Maddox with two butterfly band aids a couple inches apart. It wasn't quite what I was expecting, but I didn't really question it. So we are sitting on the couch and Mason said, "It was a Jaguar!" I said, "What?!" Bryson and Jill start saying, "No, no, no, it's not that big!" Then it dawned on me that Bryson had told us a year or so back that his boss had a wild cat as a pet. NOW I start freaking out! Bryson said, "I thought you were taking it well." It turned out that the two marks on his cheek were actually two fangs that went in pretty deep. Still, none of this surprises me, this is Maddox's luck!

This is not the actual cat, it is just a picture of one I found on-line. It is called a Serval. It is an African wild cat that stands about two feet tall and can be trained as a house pet. Who knew?

This picture wasn't taken until last night. It looks a lot better. The first night there were definite round holes. We took him to the doctor today to get an antibiotic in case of any infection. All in all, it turned out to be just a great story. He likes to keep us on our toes!


I just thought this picture was cute. They were both trying not to smile. I still can't believe how much the two of them look alike. It always amazes me!
