The kittens are staying at his house until they can go to the PetSmart. Hallelujah! Keeping them at my house and not caged (so that the grey one wouldn't cry non-stop) would mean keeping them in my bathroom. And that's just no fun.
So they're in Chris's garage, being sniffed by the dogs.
How cute is this picture? This morning, they were all four sleeping on this stool, but had woken up and shaked off by the time I got the camera.
Chris helped me cart them around from outside to inside and vice versa this weekend, helped set up his garage for them (they have a crate up high-ish and a ladder to get to it, if they need time, ya know, alone).. He dealt with the crying grey kitten, played with them, dealt with the fact that Buddy barked into the night at the kittens... It was a lot of work, and not at all his responsibility, so.. yeah, it's very very very very very cool & very very very very very appreciated. :) He's not supposed to be reading this, so maybe I should send him this entry. I have offered a free kitten in exchange for all this help, but strangely he turned me down.
I'm Stacey. I'm a 31(!)-year-old Wisconsin girl living in sunny South Florida. The highlights in my life are my lovely boyfriend, my aloof cats, my adorable/adoring stepdogs, my two lumbering tortoises, select family members, being outside, being underwater, taking pictures, yadda yadda. Stay tuned for lots of babbling!
A small boy lived by the ocean. He loved the creatures of the sea, especially the starfish, and he spent much of his time exploring the seashore.
One day the boy learned there would be a minus tide that would leave the starfish stranded on the sand.
When the tide went out, he went down to the beach, began picking up the stranded starfish, and tossing them back into the ocean.
An elderly man who lived next door came down to the beach to see what the boy was doing. Seeing the man's quizzical expression, the boy paused as he approached. "I'm saving the starfish!" the boy proudly declared.
When the neighbor saw all of the stranded starfish he shook his head and said: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, young man, but if you look down the beach, there are stranded starfish as far as the eye can see. And if you look up the beach the other way, it's the same. One little boy like you isn't going to make much of a difference."
The boy thought about this for a moment. Then he reached his small hand down to the sand, picked up another starfish, tossed it out into the ocean, and said: "Well, I sure made a difference for that one!"
