kittens- update

remember the sickly kitten from my earlier post? He, and the others are healthy and on thier way to getting adopted (soon i hope!). They have gotten fat and ADORABLE. they are complete purr buckets who love anyone to hold and pet them, even 2 year old boys..hehe

sick kittens

ugh! on friday i got a call from the program director of the rescue group i am fostering for- she told me i "forgot" one of the kittens at the shelter! - i did not forget- i got the whole sibling group, but she had wanted me to also get another kitten who i knew nothing about, and niether did the shelter. so i went to pick little Blue up. He is a 4 weeks older than the other kittens but the same weight. he has SEVERE diarreah and was/is severely dehydrated. to keep him alive i have been syringe feeding him sugar water mixed with high calorie kitten food. he is on three meds and now the other kittens are all coming down with a cold, and will have to get on meds.the kitten with the runs is pooping EVERYWHERE and i am cleaning the room multiple times a day. i have to wake up at night to give him the sugar water, just so he makes it through the night...i am SO tired. i signed up for healthy kittens. these kittens (especially one of them) need round the clock vet care. i am so worried one is going to die and i am going to have a kitten death on my hands...

they are here

and it is going great so far. the mama is nursing! (imagine me doing the happy dance), and we have been talking about pumping when she goes back to school on monday. she told me her birth story which i thought was really sweet. you can tell she adores her baby and i have not even been able to hold her ! lol
we also got another new member of the house yesterday-
meet tinkerbelle





she is half siamese and half ragdoll, and she is TOO cute

not a happy basset and other doggie news

our poor basset Bertha :( she has a rotten tooth AND her lump is reinfected and needs to be removed. so on tues she goes in for doggy surgery and for now she is on antibiotics and painkillers. poor pup. and ouch for the estimated vet bill..can you guess how much it will be?

and we got word today that our foster dachshund Tootie is going to her "furever" home on friday. and the rescue lady didn't miss a beat i tell you what!she immediately said she had another doggie for us to foster. he was emaciated when they got him and has permanent scars on his little 7 pound neck from being chained outside. poor baby!

dogs

our foster *DOG?*

well we got the opportunity to foster a little 5 month old Rat Terrier puppy for the week. she has to get her little foot amputated (she was hit by a car). she is the sweetest thing ever! We are calling her Grace. (since it's by the grace of God an 8 pound dog survived getting hit by a car!)

looks like someone shot my animals!
lol
