NSBR: We are taking a stab at extending our family

[meganmecrazy]

No, not a baby (although I have been going through a baby fever stage) but a kitten!!! We have never had a kitten (I only had one when I was younger and in highschool).

My friend got an 8 week old kitten and I actually was shocked to hear that she did considering what type of dog she has. It's a hunter and was looking at this kitten like it was a treat which scared the heck out of me. Sooo...when she brought it home her husband told her they couldn't keep it because of the dog. So she was sad about that but started to find it a home. In the meantime the stories changed and she wanted to get rid of it because she was scared about the dog killing it but the husband wanted to keep it saying he thought the dog was getting used to it and they tried walking out of the room leaving the cat and dog alone (and it happened to be fine). Well, I got a call early this morning that the dog almost got a hold of it and I told her that we could take it. The only problem now is the kitten will be in a safer environment BUT we aren't sure how my husband (with BAD allergies, but not sure to what) will handle it. He said we can't keep it if his allergies get really bad with it. And my kids, I have never had them around cats for a long period of time so we aren't sure if they will be allergic. But we are going to take a stab at it and try to keep it! I've wanted a cat for so long! I get to pick her up at 4 pm!! YAY!

She doesn't have a name so any suggestions are welcome! Here are some pictures:
