Have been lurking and enjoying the newsletter lately. Glad to see the funny stories are coming back by the dozens. <<Mish & the free-er of the gumballs.........That one was a crack up for sure! I'm still laughing. Smart little devil, huh? And someone asked how we decided on the names........ Well.......Stinkey was going to be Snookums but after the first day with us......she was such a stinker (nothing was sacred) so hence....the name Stinkey. She doesn't stink (been descented) just acts like it! She gives lots of kisses but only to me. My husband is only worth biting! If anything is worth exploring...she's the one to find it! Brandy got her name cause she's always runnning and for some reason everytime I drink Brandy and eggnog I am always running too! She never has enough time to do everything, never gives kisses and hates to be held for more than 5 seconds! And Rascal........well cause he's such a pain sometimes too! He's the biggest thief! Stinkey will find the stuff, Brandy will take 5 seconds to check it out and then Rascal will steal it! But what a lover boy. He'll take time out for a kiss and hug anytime you ask for one. It's rare when I get less than 50 kisses per day. and.....Toy Possessiveness.......they usually share everything equally except.......Stinkey has a favorite ball. She will fight for it everytime! Brandy and Rascal have decided that ball is not worth the war so they don't touch it very often anymore. Stinkey doesn't even try to hide it either. I think she's daring them, don't you? And yes...Cherrios are one of their favorites...but they have to be the apple cinnamon ones or nothing! Cheers, chuckles and dooks from the crew.............Stinkey (the leader and chief in charge), Brandy (always running cause there's never enough time), Rascal (the lover Boy) and their Mama too!
