3 weeks and all I have to show for it....
Is a NEW kitten! Yes, you read right. I'm out of my mind and totally insane. Those of my friends who have cat allergies will no longer talk about coming to my home, but I understand (wink wink). So, here's the story... Tuesday night I get a call from Lillie's bus driver...who is also the grandma of Lillie's boyfriend (did you follow that?) She puts said grandson on the phone to "ask" me something. Of course, he asks if I want a kitten, to which I promptly reply NOOOOO! Grandma gets back on the phone and gives me the whole story. Little kitten was just found by her daughter this afternoon on the side of a busier road here in Goshen....and he was nursing off of his DEAD mommy. She had just been hit by a car and here's little kitty right there with her. So, the lady picked him up and took him to the bus drivers home who then called a few people before my crazy ass popped into her head. So, I get the kitten (how could I say no?) and keep it overnight. Next day I take it to work in a little LL Bean boat purse to show off and get a taker. I take him to the vet (where we discover he's only 5 weeks and weighs 1lb 1oz but relatively healthy) and whisk him off to his new home. All is well...I didn't get attached and we got Lillie settled down in a matter of minutes. Later that evening the dreaded phone call comes. Husband of the "taker" is completely allergic and they are bringing him back right now. So, we now have Max Casey. He's a gray and white medium haired baby with blue/gray eyes who is too cute for words. Even Terry wakes up at 5am to play and snuggle with him before he heads to work. Yes, we're crazy animal lovers...what can we say?
