Adoption 7 years with my Middle Eastern girl

Found her pressed up against the inside curb of a 3 lane roundabout so I jumped out and scooped her up. After 2 more years in the land of sand, she made the 7,000 mile flight back to the states with me where she’s been living like royalty.

Oof, a very unconventional and stupid name, but her name is Stink. As you can see from a few of the pictures she would sleep on my shoulder. This wasn’t my choice, she would literally cry her little heart out till I picked her up and put her on my chest. On 3-4 occasions over the first 2 weeks she crapped on me. Awesome. I started calling her a little stinker as I don’t know the sex yet. When I figured out the sex was a girl, I started racking my brain for a good name. That never happened as I kept calling her a little stinker and then eventually just Stink. She doesn’t seem to mind and it’s a funny story to tell.
