I didn't intend to catch them yesterday, but when I went to feed them, they were RIGHT THERE. So I caught the two. One was easy, the other fought me. Then I was holding two kittens and had no idea what to do with them. Luckily, I had a box in my car that I was able to empty out one-handed and put them in it. Now I'm borrowing a crate from Chris to keep 'em in.
Tonight, I try to catch the other two. We'll see how that goes. And what do I do with them now? I have no idea.
These guys are very scared. Not mean at all, luckily, but terrified. I feel bad that I took them away from their mama, but it'll be for the best, we all hope.
Chris & I took the boat out last night for its inaugural launch. I can't say it went off without a hitch (due to dropped phone and parking ticket, the evening cost $325), but it was a very nice ride and I think Chris is happy with his new toy. Fort Lauderdale is so different by boat.. Hell, Fort Lauderdale is a different place when you're near the water (as opposed to the suburbs). Riding a boat at night, with the lights reflecting in the calm water.. ahh, it's a really nice experience. :)
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!"
