Kittens and Birthdays

We went through the training to be able to foster cats with kittens from the Humane Society. (They can’t adopt out kittens until they’re old enough to be spayed/neutered.) Our first kitty was a super sweet mama, friendly and calm and good with her kittens. We only got to keep them a few weeks, though, because one of the kittens was getting pushed off and wasn’t growing. She needed somebody to sit with her and help her nurse multiple times a day and I couldn’t do it. Thankfully, somebody else from the foster group was able to take them in and help. All the kittens were just starting to move around and be playful when they moved, so I’m looking forward to taking in another batch of kittens sometime this summer.

Carolyn is very good with animals, despite being only 3 years old. I think it's her more deliberate and predictable behavior. She was adorable.

Anna celebrated her ninth birthday this year! On Easter Sunday, we had a small birthday celebration with some family. I can’t believe how big she is. I’m very proud of my first big little girl.

Happy ninth birthday, Anna!
