Summer is flying by.  The girls have had a full summer so far.  I can't believe the girls have already been out of school for 3 weeks.  They have one more week before they go to camp.  They are so excited.  I'm excited for them.  They are going to have so much fun.  Once they come back they will have about 4 weeks before school starts.

Bailey

Meet Bailey.  She's a 6 week Beagle/Basset Hound mix.  She's the cutest little thing.  If you've lost count, we now have 10 animals... 4 dogs, 4 cats and 2 fish.

Babies

Our stray cat, Georgia had babies yesterday, 2/24.  They look like little bitty rats.  They are adorable.  I can't wait to hold them and love on them until they find new homes.  After they are weaned, Georgia is getting fixed so no more babies for her.

Just pictures

Sunday Snapshot: Animals

Maddie inspired me today.  She went out and took some pictures of the dogs, so I took some pictures of the cat.  She got some really good ones of the dogs.  She loves those animals with all of her heart.  Both of them do.

Hey Baby

Two buddies walking off together.

Like she needs help getting taller.

Ella or Elvis - we aren't sure if it's a boy or girl yet.

Getting ready to ponce.

Got it.

Poor things

Today the girls came running in the house to let me know there were some kittens in the storm drain. They don't look to be any older than 3-4 weeks old. There were 3 down there. The girls worked and worked to get them out. Poor little things. There is a solid black one that took off and we can't find it anywhere. The other two are in our bathroom. I just don't understand why people can't take care of their animals and why it seems we are always the dumping ground for unwanted ones.

Gary

Gary is our cat. He didn't start off as our cat. He was the neighbor 4 houses down cat and his name was Peanut. Peanut would come and visit, but he wouldn't stay. Well the neighbors moved and didn't take Peanut with them. So being the animal suckers lovers that we are, we adopted Peanut. We didn't know his name was Peanut at the time so we changed it to Gary after Spongebob's Gary. Gary is an outside cat. He loves to be outside. He will come in and sleep all day, but at night it's time to play. Even when it was snowing and freezing outside we couldn't get him to stay in at night. He gets along with Minnie and the dogs don't bother him. He is one of the sweetest cats I have ever met (Minnie is the other). When you pick him up, he will snuggle in your neck.Poor Gary though is always on the losing end of whatever fight he is in. Maybe we can take him to some kind of cat fighting school so that he can learn to stand up for him self.
I didn't intend to get attached to him, but I worry about him when he doesn't come home. I mean seriously, how could you not love that face?
