The black cat is Skitters for her skittish behavior. She is big boned. I also call her my little lunker (lunker= is big for her kind). She is a very sweet cat, loving and docile mostly. She had a bowel re-section (it was more complicated than that) when she was still young. She was born under a dumpster, her mom was killed by a car and she had two broken legs. The lady that owned her was going blind and had to get rid of her, we've had her ever since and she is doing fine, she is 11 now and living a normal life.
The white cat Indy is named after the Indy 500 race because she does high speed laps around the house every night and was found under a camper trailer with her 7 sisters and brothers. All the others have died except her. My wife picked the right one out of that litter.
The dog is a former show dog that belonged to an older woman that died of cancer. He's a great dog but he's getting old now (like his owner).
It sure sounds like a sad story but they all live a dream life because my wife spoils them horribly. They all get lots of attention. Anyway that's the kids. Hope you liked the pictures.
