25. The rescue found them and raised them.
Thu May 1, 2025, 08:12 AM
Thursday

We didn't get them until they were 12 weeks old. We were looking for a boy, but couldn't separate them after hearing their story. They are bonded for life. Plus, they were born on my mother's birthday. My friend calls them the M&Ms. They're rambunctious almost-6-month-olds now, and very sweet.

For a long time, all the pets had S names. Something my daughter thought up. Then, after my brother died, I brought home his cat, Kyra, and the pattern was broken. She lived to be 21. We had to let her go on New Year's Eve. Marilyn and Monroe are doing their best to help it hurt less.

Funny... I just noticed that we seem to be going alphabetically now. Kyra, then Luna, and now Marilyn and Monroe. The next one will have to start with N, I suppose.
