What's In A Name?

I thought it would be a good idea to say why we named our guys what we did. So, this is their story.

Wrigley: I grew up in Chicago...lived there for 22 years 11/12 months of my life before I got married and moved to New York. Even though I grew up on the south side, I have always been a devoted Cubs fan. The Cubs, of course, play at Wrigley Field...hence our first kitty being named Wrigley. Even if they are up to be sold, and the stadium gets a new name...it will always be Wrigley Field to me.

Cobalt: For some reason, I happened to bring up the periodic table of elements. I came across "Cobalt" and it just clicked. Also, my favorite NASCAR driver, Jimmie Johnson, endorses a brand of tools called Kobalt. So, it completely fit.

So, this is how Wrigley and Cobalt came to be!! Certainly sounds better than "Green Collar" and "Red Collar" which we'd been calling them since we brought them home.
