Sunday, after dinner my very busy husband asked if I wanted to go with him to do a quick visit. I jumped at the chance to be with him. I kinda like him, so I grab any opportunity I can to be in the same vicinity as him. We drove around looking for a street that was nowhere to be found. After chatting and driving for awhile, he decided to try another time and we started for home.
I was gabbing away when he stopped and asked me if I saw the tennis ball in the street. I said no and he started backing up, telling me it had moved and looked up at him. I unrolled my window and heard loud kitten mews. I opened my door and saw an impossibly small kitten crouched on the road. I scooped her up and looked around for anymore. When I didn't see or hear anymore, I climbed in the car and tried to think of what to do. I didn't have anything, and by the way she was yelling and searching, I knew she was hungry. I told Tom to head over to the Pet emergency place by rd 100 to see if they could help us. They gave us a bottle, told us she was about three weeks old, a few instructions and sent us on our way. I had to run into Walmart to buy some kitten formula. I don't shop on Sunday, so I felt strange buying the formula, but she wasn't getting much from my fingers.
We didn't tell the girls until I walked in the house with her in my arms. Kenna and Maddy fell instantly and totally in love with her. Courtney is a bit of a hard sell. She claims she is a dog person, but I've caught her softening up a bit.
It has been almost ten years, but I am back to two to three hour feedings. She seems to be getting stronger and thanks to our dog Roxie, she is well groomed. Roxie has taken to cleaning her like a momma cat would do. I am most grateful.
Tom keeps telling the girls that she gets to stay for two weeks and then she has to find another home. He's so funny!

i bet Heavenly Father is ok.
you saved something. it's what we do. it's what we should do.
and since you don't have your own jersey milk cow out back, i bet He's ok with your actions on Sunday. =)
what a cute little tennis ball, too! (would be a cute name to boot)
You are so good-hearted! A poor, hungry stray was hanging around our front door for two weeks but instead of feeding it I captured it in a RubberMaid tote and dropped it off at animal control.
Curses on the people who (a) don't spay/neuter their pets, OR (b) don't care for their pets offspring.
Awwwww too sweet, darn adorable kittens, they get us every time! I heard I missed a fun party at the park Monday! :( Scott was busy with scouts all day getting them ready for camp doing swim tests and ready for a court of honer getting all the board of reviews and things done. I should have just come with the kids! :) One day, if it every gets warm, we should play!
