Last week in “Days of Our Nine Lives,” the ARF cats welcomed Anabel and Tinkerbell to the cattery.

Crue & Jet

Bobbie: It’s news time!  Gather ‘round!

George: Did someone get a forever home last week?

Tinkerbell

Bobbie: No, sadly, but ARF did get two new dogs.

George: Do they like us cats?

Bobbie: Actually, they do! The dogs are a dad-and-daughter combo.

Tinkerbell: I saw them on Sunday when I was checking out my new home.

Bobbie: Yeah? Well I met them in the office.  They’re pretty cool.

Bobbie
Anabel

Tinkerbell: The boy looked like a Jack Russell Terrier.  Am I correct?

Bobbie: You are. He’s about 5 years old, and for a Jack Russell, he is amazingly quiet and calm. I don’t get it.

Tinkerbell: What about the other dog? She is really cute, for a dog.

Bobbie: She is cute, and she is really snuggly.

Anabel: What do you mean by that?

Bobbie: Well, look who has come out of hiding! Hi, Anabel!! I was saying that Jet really likes to be in a human’s lap.

Joey

Anabel: Is she also a Jack Russell?

George

Bobbie: She’s half Jack Russell. The other half is Chihuahua. She’s only 10 pounds!

George: How old is the little girl?

Bobbie: She’s about 3 years old. And you know, they do have names. His name is Crue, as in Motley Crue.  Remember that band?

George: I do!  Loved ’em. What’s the girl’s name?

Bobbie: You’re gonna love this. It’s Joan Jet, but she goes by Jet.

Tinkerbell: Joan Jet? She’s great. And you know, I love rock ’n roll.

Anabel: Ha ha, Tinkerbell. I get it.

George: Back to business! Are they ready to go to a forever home?

Bobbie: They are, and if possible, they’d like to go together.

Will Crue and Jet meet some potential forever families this week? Be sure to keep up with the animal antics of “Days of Our Nine Lives” each week.
