Dog (Jack Russel Terrier): Milo (yes, like the movie The Mask)

Cat (Calico): Callie (How original, right?)

Both animals have interesting stories. Milo likes to take any toy we buy him (stuffed) and pull the stuffing out of them so it's all over the bedroom. We just got him two new toys Monday afternoon, and by 10 last night he had all the stuffing out of one of them. Callie, poor thing, had to have two hysterectomies in one year. After she had the first one, she was still in heat, and when we called the vet, they would tell us to bring her in. However, Callie would hear the conversation, and automatically would stop being in heat. So the next time it happened, my mom called the vet (from the bathroom and spoke in a whisper) and the vet said that they'd do exploratory surgery, but if they didn't find anything they'd have to charge us. So when they went in through surgery, they found a small piece that had broken off and lodged itself way up in the body...there would have been no way to find the piece if she hadn't been in full blown heat.
