We've been looking for a dog and a cat ever since we moved in - we've gone to shelters several times and called a lot of people on craigslist but it wasn't until last week that we finally found a dog that was the right age/style/breed and went for it. His name is Yogi and he's a golden retriever mix. We love him. He's already so sweet and fun and protective and obediant. Except with Peter - he's totally afraid of Peter. Who knows why - maybe the fact that Peter was hiting and throwing things at him for the first few days he was here. He quickly put Peter in his place with a bite and then another and another. It seems now like we're getting that all figured out...a.k.a. Peter is giving Yogi loads of treats to convince him that he's a pretty good guy and he's stopped hurting him. And then the other day I was looking at craigslist again - the craigslist app has made me an addict. Anyhow, there were these two Maine Coon cats(a brother and sister) for FREE and I couldn't resist. They are both fixed and up to date on their shots.
I love Maine Coons - they are cute and smart and get HUUUGE. So they came home the next day and hid for a full twenty four hours behind the washer. And then yesterday out of the blue brother cat came out even with Yogi lurking and walked right past him - swishing Yogi's face with his tail as he passed. And Yogi who has NEVER experienced cats before totally played it cool. They were fast friends and even though sister cat is still pretty nervous I'm sure in time they are going to be tight. Needless to say, it made my day. Here are some pics...
Anyhow, brother and sister need names - they're previous names Pepper and Oreo just aren't doing it for me. I want something fitting and fun. Brother is big and shaggy and sister is smaller and dainty and really pretty. Here are some ideas...
Jem & Scout(To Kill a Mockingbird)
Bonnie & Clyde(I know, not sister and brother but cute anyways)
Donny & Marie
Adam & Adora(a.k.a. Heman & Shera)
Luke & Leah(a little on the nerdy side)
I don't know - any other ideas folks?
