Someone told him when he got back from work, that Bruno would be there Someone told him when he got back from work, that Bruno would be there. Sadly, he was not there when Austin got home from work.

That is why I saved Grumpy from the burning house.” Austin looked at Bruno and asked, “What shall we do with the kitten? We can’t just let him go off on his own in the woods, but if you would like to keep the cat, that would be ok.”

Bruno and I decided to keep Grumpy Bruno and I decided to keep Grumpy. One day, I went looking for Bruno and Grumpy. I discovered them both in Bruno's doggy bed.

Next, we had to call the vet to schedule a appointment to get Grumpy fixed and declawed. Then, we went to a pet store to get items for the kitten.
