Yes, you heard me right. I live in a house with eight cats and two dogs. Does that make me one of those crazy "cat/dog" people? I hope not!
It's not as bad as it sounds. We have a nice clean home. There is a separate room where we keep the cat's "bathrooms" and their food. The room has a cat door so they can come and go and it keeps the dogs out of their area.
Each animal has their own story.
Our oldest dog, Lewis is a german shepard mix we adopted from a bar. Yes, a pool playing, dart thowing people drinking and smoking bar my husband and I were in several years ago where a lady showed up with two puppies. We had just lost an older dog and wanted a companion for our other dog. He is named after C.S. Lewis.
Our second dog, Clarke, is a rescue we got while camping last Memorial Day weekend. He is a chihauha/daschund mix someone dumped at the campsite. He has fit into his new home so well, it is like he has always been here.
So now we have two dogs named Lewis and Clarke!
The cats are all rescue cats. They are in order of age, Bageera, Beau and Athena (brother and sister), Crystal, Missy and Merlin (brother and sister), and GiGi and her baby Annabelle Lee.
Bageera came from a rescued cat who had kittens, Beau and Athena were rescued from a college campus, Crystal was adopted from a parking lot and the last four were rescued from my neighborhood.
Now that I have introduced you all to my animal kingdom, you will hear more about them in upcoming posts. They all have unique pesonalities and quirks. There is never a dull moment in this home full of furry love and wet kisses.
