BIO:

Hi, let me introduce myself… I’m Vinnie or Vinny (you can spell it whichever way you want since it sounds the same).  I lived with my son, Cena, with a very nice lady in Myrtle Beach, SC.  She wasn’t able to keep us anymore so FDR took us in.  I know my real mom loved me a lot because she had a hard time giving me up and she has even checked on my well being.  Anyway, let’s get on to where I am now. 

Foster Mom says I’m 50 pounds of energy in a 9.4 pound body.  Yes, I am a little guy (Foster Mom calls me “Little Bit”) with a ton of personality.  I love to snuggle in a lap or in the big bed and, when Foster Mom is busy and I can’t snuggle with her, I’ll burrow under the first blanket I find.  When I do that, she calls me a cocoon…

I also love, love, love to play with the other furkids here.  The older one is especially fun!  We romp and chase one another until we’re tuckered out and then we nap together.  It took me about a week to adjust to Foster Mom and her furkids but she thinks that’s because I was uncertain about where I was and what happened to my son.  As soon I figured out everybody was ok, I totally came out of my shell!

Foster Mom also has two furkids she calls “cats”.  There’s an old one that’s no fun because he pays no attention to me at all.  Now, the younger one (the one that’s nearly twice my size) must not like me because he growls and hisses and runs from me; of course, I think that’s a game so I chase him.  Foster Mom says I’ll be just fine with any cat that either ignores me or is brave enough to pop me one.  Hmmmm, what exactly does “pop me one” mean?  Anyway, I’m Vinnie and that’s my story!
