This is Zipper, our 1 y.o. rescue.  She was picked up by Animal Control in a small town near Texarkana.  We adopted her in September 2006.  She was wary of Button for a couple of weeks, but they're best pals now.  Occasional alpha squabbles but nothing serious, as Button is soooooo tolerant of her new "sister".  Zipper is friendly with all people but will growl/bark at all strange dogs & cats, probably because she had a rough time defending food finds when stray.  She's very playful with our hands but really doesn't understand the concept of toys.  She didn't even know how to sit on our laps without falling off when we first got her.  Don't think she had had much human loving before us.  We just adore her!  We also have an even sweeter black & white bicolor, Button in my avatar, who is 3 y.o. & weighs 10 lbs.
