We gave them new names and kept their shelter names as their ‘middle’ names. Troy Mooney Barnes and Abed Bubby Nadir.
And it’s funny, the names suit them! Abed chirps like Abed did in the show when pretending to be an alien, and he is skittish and doesn’t like change. Troy is a little dumb, but very protective of Abed, even though Abed is older. They crack me up with their antics.
My guy’s on the right. Last week we passed 10 years since he showed up in the engine compartment of my car, and next month it’ll be a year since his step-brother was adopted from a rescue agency.
