The First Week

They were born on a chilly March day to a stray mother who had had the sense to find a home with a human before she gave birth. They had one sister who stayed with their mom and her new human, and the two boys came to live with us. We brought them home to live with us eight weeks later in May. We were amazed at how much they looked like each other, and we were at a loss what to name them. We decided to use the middle names of each of our fathers, and so they came to be known as Edgar and Edward. And we were very happy to have them in our lives.
