My Girls

These are my girls.

First is Marlowe

....and here's Lucy.

This picture is how she looked when we first got her. She's a little puffier now but equally as cute!!!

And here's a little story to let you know a tidbit about their personalities. About a month ago, Gary and I decided the girls were a little stinky so we were going to give them a bath.... an inspiration sent to us from Satan I'm sure.

We chose to do Marlowe first as we figured we'd get the nutcase out of the way and then see what Lucy dishes out. Boy, we didn't know how right we were. Marlowe's eyes went the size of side plates and a meow came out of her that can only be connected with death. She fought us tooth and nail...literally, I have the scars to prove it. Poor Lucy was at the bathroom door crying because she could hear Marlowe freaking out inside. By the end of it, Gary and I were both soaked and the bathroom floor had a river running down the middle of it. We dried her off as best as she would allow and let her out of the bathroom to go and shiver in a corner.

With that out of the way, we re-ran the bath and braced ourselves for Lucy. Knowing how she reacted to Marlowe's bath, we were a little cautious. You're not going to believe me when I say....she was as good as gold. She sat in the bottom of the tub and we barely had to hold on to her. We poured water on her, scrubbed her down and rinsed her off. The only time she got a little worried was when we got too close to her face with the water. Unbelievable. We took her out of the tub and she sat on my lap without being held down while I dried her off. She even helped out by licking herself in one area as I dried the other.

Ahhh yes...my girls!
