I hope everyone is doing well. I am. A long time while in the service I learned something that for me holds true - if things are going good at work, then something is amiss at home. And vice versa. Such is the case indeed with me. Home is wonderful; work not so much. I won't dwell on that. Don't be surprised if changes aren't in the mix.
Over the weekend I got the most wonderful surprise. The DH and I kept seeing a cat run in and out of our barn. Neither of us thought much about it (silly of us), so Saturday when I was messing around with some hay I found the most adorable baby kitten right on top of the hay! Eyes not even open yet but in really good health. I got to thinking about it and started looking around for more. I felt around between the bales and found another warm body! I didn't find any others, so right now we have two new additions to our ranch - Straw and Hay. I would guess they are about 3 weeks old. Their eyes are just opening and they are super cute!!! The mom isn't very trusting and runs off when we are close. But we have started leaving her food out to entice her to nurse the kittens and she's been eating. Here is a pic of our babies:
At first the DH wasn't thrilled with them, but he picked the names and by Sunday evening he was all about making sure they are doing alright. :) Not sure yet what to do with them. I really want to bring them inside and make them not feral - I'm guessing mom is feral by her actions. I would love to catch her and get her spayed as well so she doesn't have more.
Okay, that's all I have time for today! Just had to share!!
Oh my goodness they are adorable.
