Amy and Drucilla

Two of the newer members of the haven are a feisty duo I call the Terrible Two. Amy and Dru were originally named Amelia and Ursala. I would say we shortened those for ease of pronunciation, but I suppose Drucilla just sort of renamed herself. Her full name is Drucilla Ursula Skittles, in honor of KitKat.

Their original owners were a couple of college kids who were moving to a new home where they weren't allowed pets. We found out about their dilemma on Craig's List. Though it was a sad farewell, the boys didn't want to see their babies go to a cage in the garage of their new place. We promised them their girls would never be caged at the haven.

Since coming home with us, Amy and Dru have proved to be double the trouble and twice the fun. What one won't get into, the other will. They are fearless, apt to be found climbing the outside of the cage in the ferret room or tunneling through your pant leg when you sit or lie down around them. They love to help you when you try to clean their room or scoop litter. While their help doesn't amount to much more than being in the way, you can't help but laugh at their squirming antics as they try to wiggle into the sack of used litter or ride the broom around the floor.
