My Pride and Joys: Jake and Worm

A little history:
I handraised these two from birth. They are my pride and joys. They are fine upstarts who love to be bad!!

Jake is gray, Worm is blonde:

Young adult Worm:




Young adult Jake:



As adults:



Jake and his collar:

Awww look at those sweet babies...that must have been amazing to raise them from birth

Aww Jake looks stunning in his collar!
If mikey saw that he might try and steal it! he likes being pretty! Maybe it has to do with the Elton John I sing to him

I had one for Worm. Everytime I would put it on him, he'd pull it off. I put it on, he'd pull it off. Then he hid it on me somewhere in the bedroom. LOL Jake loves his and growls if I try to take it off. He'll even smack Worm for trying to play with it.

They are precious!!

What handsome little boys! What an experience to raise from birth!

I can honestly say raising them from birth was so stressful. I never knew what I was doing. If it was right, wrong or somewhere in between. I was up every 2 hours to feed, wipe, burp and back to bed for them. It was just like having an actual baby. I was scared more times then not thinking they were going to pass away on me. Now that they are going on 3 years, I'm more relaxed with them. Everytime they'd sneeze I'd freak. Now, they are "Mommas baby boys" and they know it. And, yes, they are spoiled!! One day, I'll sit and tell the whole story as to how they came to be. It's sad, though. I just don't know what forum to put their story under.
