In 2008 my early birthday presents were these two sisters, dumped at the AZ Humane Society in early September, "underage, underweight, undernourished" and about 12 weeks old when we adopted them. We were walking down a row of cages when I saw this little face looking up at me and said, "Her name is Oreo, and she is coming home with us!" At that point, we noticed that she was all tangled up in a basket with her sister ...
Oreo's full name is Oreo Cookie de Mon Coeur - because the little mark on her nose is the shape of a heart and because it was her little face looking up at me that stole my heart in the first place. Also called Ore-uhoh. Has to do with her adventurous nature. Mademoiselle Boots purrs if you just look at her and is more independent but less adventurous than her sister. Her nickname is Love-Bug.
The silk flower arrangement was moved from the kitchen table to the counter bar. Fine. Instead of having a girl head-down in the bouquet, she was stuck in mid-leap in the middle of it. It is now on top of the refrigerator. Using the computer is fun. Both girls are fascinated by the cursor and will chase it across the screen. Spelling is now optional on e-mail sent from home, and only possible when one can see around the girl who happens to be sitting in front of the screen.
They are warm and loving girls who keep us laughing. Our three dogs ( 1 from a breeder, 2 rescued) like them too!
