Happy Birthday, Barb!!!

And

Happy Anniversary, Jess and E.!!!

Happy birthday, Barb!

Happy anniversary, Jessica and DH!

So, we found a kitten last night. Gray, long-haired, tiny fluff ball. Probably about 4 weeks old? Its eyes were crusted almost shut, so we started it on Momo's leftover eye gel. It also has fleas, poor thing, so we bathed it using Joy (a groomer's tip - it kills fleas) but it still has some. We're buying a flea comb tonight. It's a male, which means we probably aren't keeping it (we prefer female animals) but you guys - it is ridiculously adorable. It looks like a little muppet! However, we just did the kitten thing!

GC, that is so sweet. Poor homeless animals always just break me but of course, you can't keep them all. I almost took a puppy home the beach a few months ago.

School starts today here as well. However, this being DC, there's the annual "oh woes! the school repairs aren't finished" song and dance. As well as the annual fuss over the kids who haven't had their shots.

And GC, OF COURSE you prefer girl animals! but, word gets around that you're good people for animals ... they'll hear about you and come by for food, petting, etc. Kind of a hivemind for cats.

I won't be surprised if we end up keeping him. He is so damned adorable. DW's mom is interested in him, too, so that's a possibility. She was there when we caught the little guy (he was terrified - we had to corner him to grab him up). DW won't let me name him as she says that means we def won't want to give him up. I think MiL taking him is the best option. Then we still get to see him! No matter what we do, he'll be with us until he's 12 weeks and then we'll decide.

GC, Momo would like a little brother to beat up on, curl up with, and give head-washings to when you and GFW aren't there to blind with lethal cuteness. Go on, ask her!

Felicitations, Barb, on the Anniversary of Your Natal Day!

I'm wishing you all good things, plus today? Cake!

Happy Anniversary, Jess and FoneBone! All due felicitations, and wishes for many many more such occasions to celebrate!

Lucky kitten to be found by GC and DW. Even if he eventually ends up in someone else's home, you two will have saved his life.

Momo has a big sister that she likes to attack. If we only had the Mo, we'd be in a better position to keep this one. I'm taking the little guy into the vet today at 3. They're going to freak out - TINY! CUTENESS! Oh and we took some pix, so you'll all see, too.

Oh, GC, I'm so glad you found him. Poor little thing!

Speaking of the vet...just got home from Toto's yearly visit. It was actually scheduled for last week, but I rescheduled it so he could see the regular vet. I wanted to talk to her about his anxiety. It's been getting crazy bad...especially during thunder storms. She said it's been a really bad thunder storm year, and she's actually seen quite a few pets with storm phobias. So, early in the summer she did some more research on the best as needed med for this, and turns out it's Xanax. So, Toto's got Xanax for thunder storms and other times he gets anxious (which I can tell because he gets shaky and panty). I really hope it helps because I've just felt so badly for the little guy lately. We might get to test it today. We've got storms forecasted.

Hippo Birdies Barb!

Anniversarry Happies Jessica and Fone Bone!
