Last week in Days of Our Nine Lives, the ARF cats celebrated the adoption of all four puppies.

Smokey: Oh my! We have lots of dogs now!
Pepper: I’ve heard we have three boys and one girl.
Harley: That’s right. They’re coming in now, so we may meet them.
Henri: (entering the room, four dogs) Hello all! I’m Henri, and with me are…
Stretch: Hey! I can introduce myself! I’m Stretch, and with me are Whiskey and Lili.
Henri: Fine! But about me, I’m a charming, friendly, and affectionate boy of about 7-9 years old.
Stretch: And I’m kind of in the same boat, friendly and affectionate, and about the same age.
Whiskey: And I’m also so friendly, but I’m only maybe 15 lbs. Henri and Stretch are closer to 20ish lbs.
Lili: Excuse me! I’m here, too. I’m Lili, and I’m a Boston Terrier. I’m 4 years old and SUPER quiet!
Harley: Lili, I hear that you, just like the boys, are very loving.
Lili: True! I really like to snuggle next to my person and just be with him or her.
Harley: Well dang! You four are really the perfect family members.
Smokey: I hope that you’re adopted very quickly. You each deserve a forever home where you’ll receive lots of love and attention.
Whiskers: I’m guessing interested folks should call ARF.
Stretch: That’s right. If no one answers, they should leave a message as someone returns calls at least four times a day.
Lili: And they should call very soon. I think we won’t last. We’re all so cute and friendly!
