On the left is the newest addition to my two person family. She is annoying and adorable. Her name is Bootsie and her birthday is June 5, 2009 (yes we made that up after a quick calculation of how old she was when we got her).
She loves to play with my hair, putting one paw on the right of my head and one paw on the left, like she is holding a bowl. She does this mostly when I'm doing some sort of exercise on the ground. Though it can be bothersome, it is cute too.
She loves sleeping with Faustino and I, on either one of us or the spot we moved from. When she is trying to get comfortable she kneads our chests and licks until she feels like she has had enough. When she is done licking and kneading she curls up into a ball, usually under our necks. Then she repeats the process, sometimes she completes the routine 5 times before completely settling in. She also loves to walk on Faustino's face when we are laying down and normally she is careful not to claw.
She hates being left alone and will cry and cry when we both leave to go somewhere (we can hear it all the way down our hallway). When we get home she races to the door to greet us, she then proceeds to walk in the hallway only to come back 5 seconds later.
She hates being left out. HATES it! If we lock her out of the room when we are having alone time she cries at the door until we let her in. If one of us is doing something in the kitchen on the counter that she can't reach she cries because she can't see what we are doing.
I think she has a dual personality. She is feisty and calm. She is crazy and mellow. And it all depends on the day and time. During the day she likes to play and claw. At night she likes to lounge and cuddle.
So, to say the least, she is so damn spoiled. But what can you do? She is our baby (she really is). In the end we love her and we are happy to have her. She is the cutest addition to our family and home.
