{29mar2010: we're been tagged!}

Our favorite little lady Twinkie tagged us for a photo tag game.  Here are the rules:

1. Open your first photo folder

2. Scroll down to the tenth photo

3. Post the photo and tell the story behind it

4. Tag 5 more people

Here's our picture:

This was the first day we met Darwin and and some of her siblings.  Their mom Misty had a giant litter (18 pups), though one came out still born and another died two days after being born.  They took Misty and the pups to the vet and the vet realized that only two of Misty's nipples were producing milk so the pups would need to be bottle fed or they'd lose more.  I volunteered myself (and Jason) to take care of some of them.  And so when they were 5 days old, Tom brought six of them into the office and I chose four to take care of.  Darwin was one of those four.  In the picture she's the one being laid on... you can just see her white stripe down her chest.

And now I tag the following 5 friends to play!
1.  Nala
2.  Remi
3.  Duchess
4.  Honey
5.  Mr B and Ms M

Can't wait to see everyone's pictures!

{12nov2009: who would she be}

Diamond's family just played a game of "who would i be".  You basically pick a famous person that reminds you of your pet.  We actually played this game when Darwin was younger with her and her bffs, Friday and Juneau.  We based our game around the idea of if the three girls were in a sorority, who would they be.  Here's what we decided on:

Friday is the older, serious sorority sister, more mature, less inclined to party all night, always a look of concern on her face, more likely to stay at home reading (or chewing) a book rather than get wasted at the frat house.  She'd be the mom of the house.

She'd either grow up to be a librarian or Hillary Clinton, opting for a pant suit over a mini skirt:

Juneau on the other hand would be the young party girl, tons of energy and always looking for a good time.  She's quite the ham and loves posing for the camera.

She would be Kim Kardashian.  And like Kim, Juneau is sensitive about her behind.

And finally Darwin.  Darwin would be the spoiled baby of the group, who loves to play but loves attention more and acts like a princess.  

She would be none other than Paris Hilton.

Who would your pet be?!
