New Additions.

Lisa and Collin went to Animal Haven on Friday to look at some puppies.  Just look. That was their sole intention. They came back, however, with the two newest additions to our family.

Jasmine Raja the Second & Raja Miss Love the First

They are three month old Maine Coon sisters, and they are my little girls. It did not take them very long to adjust to their new surroundings. Within a day they were out and about, exploring each corner and step of their new home.  Even this morning, they were both sitting on Collin's lap as he sat on the couch, waiting for the bus to arrive.  I think the two of them being siblings may have factored in to their quick adjustment. If I remember correctly, Dobby (R.I.P.) spent a lot of time out our bed. yes, he was a sickly cat, but even on his good days he still stayed hidden.  Having two gives them a little company and maybe even a little confidence. 

Their adopted names were Jasmine and Raja.  That stuck for about an hour.  Collin decided that he wanted to rename Raja, Miss Love (Don't ask).  Lisa, liking the name Raja, thought to just rename Jasmine.  So now Raja is Miss Love and Jasmine is Raja.  I thought it would be neat to stick with the Harry Potter theme and name them Padma & Parvati.  Or perhaps something obscure like Chickenhead.  

I was out voted.  Raja and Miss Love fit their personalities nicely though.

Maine coons are hilarious, and even funnier when five-year-olds are involved in the naming process.
