Faith And Her Animals!

Oh my sweet baby Faith absolutely loves animals. We just recently added our newest member of the family so I decided to share some of Faith's favorites.

First and foremost is her Tigger. He is just an old grandpa now and the perfect cat for Faith and Dayne. Jason got Tigger for me when were dating. He was just 6 weeks old and I fell in love. That was almost 14 years ago and he is still a member of the family. Tigger and Faith began to bond while she was still in the womb. He began laying on my stomach when I was just a few weeks pregnant, I guess to keep her warm. Then when I was around 22 weeks pregnant he got on my stomach and began purring and she began moving. That was the first time I felt her move, she just loved his purring.

Now he spends almost every night cuddled up with her.

Faith LOVES horses and constantly asks if one day when can have a farm and get some horses. Well, that is not the only animals she wants, but they are the ones she wants the most. She loved going to her MeeMaw's farm and riding Dizzy. She wanted to spend every minute she was there on that horse. Well, that is until Tori told her about falling off and Faith got scared. Imagine that!

When we moved to West Virginia Faith got a precious dwarf hamster. She named her Patch. It was the sweetest little thing and an excellent pet. However, after about 3 months Faith came home from school and took Patch out of her cage. She began to bite Faith and I heard blood-curling screams. After our nap, we woke up to a dead little hamster. Faith was so sad and I admit that I was too. She was adorable.

So of course Patch had to be replaced. Daddy took Faith to the pet store and came home with this Teddy Bear Hamster. Yuck, they are too big for my taste and she was so dirty. Her cage was always a mess. She wouldn't allow you to love on her like Patch did and I was not impressed, but she made Faith happy and I am glad about that. Faith named her Sonador- Sonya for short. She hung around for about 3 months before I decided she needed to go.

Thankfully, Poppie was sweet enough to send the rabbit cage our way. Faith had a precious bunny before we left Texas named Floppy. He was so sweet, unfortunately Dayne thought so too. He went to pet her and left the cage door open and Floppy was never to be seen again. So Poppie packed up her cage and sent it our way along with $20.00 so that Faith could get another one. That's typical Poppie when it comes to his girly girl!

So we told Faith she could get a rabbit, but she had to give up her hamster. So home she came with this precious little LITTERBOX TRAINED rabbit. Her name is Coal and she is the best little pet for Faith- did I mention that she is litterbox trained-hehe! She is so sweet to Faith and loves attention, hopefully she will be around for a long time.

Poor Tigger has to share Faith with this new addition. You can see by the pictures below that he has resigned to the old, "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" cliche. Thank goodness she has enough love to give for both of them.
