My Office Mascot

Storm, in three of her many winsome poses. She loves to "wear" my shoes. Whenever I sit down at the computer, I remove my shoes and set them off to the side. Within minutes, Storm is laying on them, or wearing them. If it is a pair of slides (as these Keds are) she inserts her paws into the shoes. I could have 10 photos of her in various pairs of shoes if I had the camera handy on those occasions. It is really funny to see her wearing my lime green thong sandals; her paws nearly hanging over the toe area. The second pic shows the way she will lay if no shoes are around.

The third is guaranteed to get a belly rub, and it is her most favorite pose, apparently, since she does it all the time, and will look up at me with those big golden eyes, as if to say, "Please, Mama. come rub my belly!"

Storm is the alpha female of the two sisters; Eclipse comes to my office as well, but she is relegated by low growls and hissing to the other side of the room, away from me. I have very few photos of her since her fur is much more dense and fuzzy than her sister's, and it is very hard to get a pic of her that doesn't just look like an ink-blot. I plan to try and photograph her outdoors soon, so maybe there is a chance she will show up better.

I had to lighten these pics so much that the carpet bears no resemblance to it's actual color, although the third one comes close. I chose that carpet when we moved here because it is the color of the red clay dirt we have around this area of NC. We had three kids living at home back then, and camouflage was my main objective....LOL
