I don't know how I could've forgotten it, but today is Jimmy and Lily's birthday! Or close enough. I looked back on the e-mails I had from the wonderful lady who gave them to me.
They were born during the night between October 6 and 7, 2018. Since I'm assuming it was in the wee hours after midnight, I am celebrating officially today, on the 7th.
These guys are two peas in a pod. From the beginning, the reason I picked them (from a lineup of photos) was because Lily was giving Jimmy a kiss. They reminded me of my Bootsie and Chester, sweet brothers I raised way back in the 90's.
I was so lucky to have my friend help me out by driving all the way to Vermont to get them for me while she was picking out a litter mate for herself. The rest is history.
Lily is giving Jimmy a kiss-or maybe just sniffing him.

My friend took this picture of the entire litter before bringing three of them back with her. Jimmy is the tiger in the middle and Lily is on the right in the middle. This is one of the cutest photos I've ever seen!
Jimmy has grown into a friendly heavyweight, and Lily is petite, playful and cute. They get along well most of the time. Happy Birthday!
