Emerson & Einstein 

We are brothers and have been together since birth, so we wanted someone who would adopt us both.  We were 5 months old in 2014 when Mom saw us at a pet store in Ames, sat on the floor to play with us and we decided it would be okay to go home with her.  We’ve been her store greeters ever since – well, when we feel like it anyway!
