*My 2 little ones are very active but do stop to cuddle in my lap occasionally. I got them when 6 1/2 weeks old and the entire family loves them especially my 2 youngest grand sons who are 7 and 9. I thought I was too old to have pets any more but I still have lots of love to give. We had planned to only buy one but when I saw both we bought both of these cuties. These brothers were only ones in litter. Pedro and Chico are so sweet and lovable.* Ann On Sat, Jan 15, 2011 at 3:23 PM, maryjane turner <[email protected]> wrote:
