We celebrate Phoenix and Faith's Birthday on September 11th. They turned 7 this year.
It was on that day in 2001 when realized that we were not really living and wanted to bring more life into our home. These two little feral girls were ours the minute we saw their photo. We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into by adopting them. We know they were born around date on the Stanford University Campus. They had no food and were terrorized by bullies shooting bb guns at them. Phoenix had yet learned to clean herself and did not smell very pleasant for about the first year. Faith is our stoic girl who helped her sister learn everything. They are truly the loves of our lives.
We hung our flag on 9/11. It reminds us to be grateful and humble. I only wish that I would have seen more flags that day.
As babies, their names were Mimi and Momo...
Now Faith and Phoenix are the 
rulers of their 
Queendom...

This makes me want a cat sooooo bad!
I know what you mean about not seeing enough flags. It's interesting actually because in France people have real pride in their country and "french-ness" but it seems as though that has diminished in the US, it's just not engrained in people to be proud of their country despite all its politics and mistakes. The U.S. is a beautiful and exceptional country despite its faults, people take it for granted and they take the troops for granted too.
