What's with the New Nickname?

So, you may be wondering what is going on with the my new nickname. Well, there have been a couple of incidents which I am VERY proud to say, I defended my home very thoroughly. *puffs up chest* Please let me explain....

It started last summer, when daddy's aunt and uncle came to stay with us during their vacation. They brought their King Charles Spaniel puppy - only 8 months old - to stay with us too. How dare this puppy come into MY territory!! I just had to do something to show that dog....Casey and Donny were already hiding under the bed, b/c aunt and uncle were strangers and my siblings just didn't feel very sociable at that moment. So I tore out of the room, hair on end, hissing and screaming at the puppy.

He took to his paws and ran. I chased him across the second storey of the house, down the stairs and through the main floor too. But mommy stopped me. Uncle came and got the puppy too. Mommy saw my hair stand on end so straight...she could see my pink skin underneath. Boy, was I ever mad!!!!

So that's when mommy started calling me Defender of the Empire, MOL!!

Mommy finally had to change my name tho, b/c daddy told her another brave story about me. :)

Daddy said he heard some hissing noises and thought poor Casey was being beat up by Donny. He came to take a look...instead, he saw Casey and Donny sitting side by side, watching me hiss and growl at a window. Daddy couldn't understand why I was doing my "angry dance" in front of a window until he saw the furriendly neighbourhood orange tabby tom sitting there and TAUNTING me!! Wow, did I ever want to get at him! Grrrr!!

Hence, the name change. Hehe, kinda like it, myself. :)
