In 1993, I was a volunteer photographer for our local SPCA. I covered all events & photographed individual animals for promotional brochures. I had an adequate number of dog photos. Because of the noise level, I decided to photograph the cats at my home. I went through the kitten kennel & selected two photogenic kittens: one tabby and one b/w .
Over the course of the next week, I took a variety of uniquely different photos. During this week I was also falling in love with these two adorable fur balls. I had fun playing with them & cuddling them. My 8 yr old Siberian Husky [Cagney] adopted & babied the b/w kitten.
One week turned into two. Two weeks turned into three. Finally in the 5th week, I returned to the SPCA with great photographs & no kittens. I told the SPCA director, I decided to keep the kittens. She just chuckled & said "We kind of figured that out by the 3rd week when you didn't come back."
The next week, I legally adopted Ayla [tabby] and Harley Davidson [b/w]. Here it is 16 years later & they are sleeping in the next room.
