Everything is going great! They are very happy and have taken over our house. I have attached a few pictures for you.
They love chasing the laser pointer and playing with their toys. They enjoy rearranging the carpets in my bathroom as well. :) They are both used to Buddy now, and Hickory plays with him most of the time, Almond is still a little shy. I am so glad I got the both of them together, they sleep together and play all the time and it makes life so much easier that there isn't just one attacking you all the time. :) My only complaint has been the 3AM wrestle mania that used to occur on my bed. Now that they run all over the house, all of their stuff is downstairs so they sleep there most of the time and I don't feel bad closing them out of my room when they don't catch the hint that I am still asleep.
My only concern is that they are still sneezing, I am not too worried, since they play and eat and don't 'act sick'. I will ask the vet next week when I take them in. They do not like getting their nails clipped, so I am trying to catch them when they are napping. As they get older, what do you suggest to try and help train them to stay off of counters and a few areas that I don't want them on? Do you have suggestions as well to keep them from scratching the carpet, they have a scratching post, I just noticed Almond seems to be scratching more at the carpet lately. Again, thank you! We are so happy they are a part of our family. I am not sure if their names will stay Almond and Hickory, I keep trying to think of names, however my son and I usually end up calling them the boy and the girl...lol

So far so good, with the 'kids'. They are starting to explore the rest of the house, which will be nice once they know their way around so I can get all of their stuff out of my bedroom. I need to get their food up off the ground so Buddy can't get to it, he is loving the 'extra snacks' everyday. Hickory pretty much ignores Buddy, his curiosity is increasing, I see him checking out Buddy a little closer everytime. Almond is not a fan of him so far, she hisses at him, however as long as I am around she ignores him....LOL In no time they will all be chasing each other around the house.
