More of "Her"

She still hasn't revealed her name. I think maybe based on her traits and characteristics it's something like "Purry McPurrsalot" or "Crazy Eyes" or "Wiggle Butt" or "Digger". We just don't know yet. But I think we'll know soon. If she doesn't reveal her true and secret name soon, Mom and Dad will choose one for her and see if she likes it. That's what they did with me. By the time I was ready to reveal it to them, they had already chosen "Mattingly". They let me try it out for a few days and I really liked it, so I kept it.

Anyway, here are some pictures of the purry, wiggly, climb-y one. Click any of the pictures to make them bigger.

Her first night here she was going crazy playing in the bathroom. This is before I got to meet her.







She got moved into the office because it's a bigger more comfortable space for her. She likes to nap on the pillow Mom uses at night.




One of our first meetings through the baby gate. I was mostly just curious. She was scared and defensive.






Before too long we were getting playful with each other.






We had guests over yesterday and they were happy to play with her. I was in my usual spot under the bed. That's where I go when there are guests.





Uh oh... think she'll be wanting her own blog soon?





So that's her. She's pretty cute isn't she? Mom wants to thank everyone for their advice and comments. Mom and Dad now just supervise our play, and break us up when I get a little too rough. I don't mean to be rough and Mom and Dad know it. Mom says I can't help it sometimes because I'm such a big strong boy. That's right! Pretty soon I'll have my first birthday even! Anyway, so now we are getting more play time, but are still kept separated when Mom and Dad aren't home, and even lots of times when they are. Mom and Dad say it's a lot of work when we play for them, so that's why there aren't any pictures of it yet. But as soon as there are I'll post them!

She is an adorable bundle of fur! Sometimes the names come so easy, sometimes not. She'll let you know soon enough. She does have a cute little butt though hee hee!

What a beautiful little sister! She reminds me of what Josie was like when she first came home. I'm sure you'll be a great big brother and write her all kinds of haikus and teach her all the fun (and naughty) games to play when Mom and Dad are gone. Thanks for sharing the great pictures.
