Twinsies- Part 2!

So, Sarah and I did it again! I don't mind at all! There's something about showing up at work all of the time finding that someone else chose the same outfit as you did.  Love this place.

Goodbye Little Boy

 We had a good run, you and me. I remember the day you were born. February 3rd, 1997 at #91 30th Street Newport News, VA in the Saint James Terrace Apartments.  

You were the tiniest of five, the runt. They were getting ready to move and we needed to take you with us as soon as possible. You came to us at just under 4 weeks old. You couldn't even get into the litter box! We had to put a cookie sheet on the floor and toss some kitty litter inside so you could manage on your own. 

You were very strong willed. No one could make you do anything that you did't want to do. 

From the very beginning though, your big brother Teddy took you under his wing and he took care of you when we weren't home. He carried you around like you were his baby.

We had our first near death experience when you swallowed a needle while I was sewing when you were three causing you to lose your meow for a while.

We had some fun times and you brought a ton pf personality to the table. I don't know when it happened, but you taught yourself to fetch a little ball that's been in the family for going on 15 years. I have the ball and I am going to make sure you keep it with you forever.

You put up with a lot through the years.. moving, getting a new brother, going to the vet every Saturday. 

You gave us an earful when we brought your little ginger brother Boomer home in 2008. You were mad at us for weeks. We weren't sure how you were going to take the new ginger baby when we adopted Jinx last year. You were less concerned.

Tonight, we lost you. We had a good run, you and me.
