squash pictures

My large squash. These squashes were supposed
to be 3-5 lbs. They are a miniature hubbard type.
This one got to be 23.5 lbs! It was hanging from
grapes vines. The picture of me harvesting it was
in the rain, so I am a bit bedraggled but you can
compare the size that way.

kind of in the picture.)

re:Vaccinations

The only problem is that when my kitties cry so much, so do I. But the vet said that bats which get sick with rabies do not fly right. The will fly very erratically, even for bats, and often fly near groung level. Thus they pose a tempting target for cats which hunt. All of my kitties except Zana Grey, who is just too old now, are excellent hunters. And they like to eat what they catch. I have always thought they needed rabies shots to protect from raccoons. But I could see how my kitties would catch a bat if they thought they could.
The two kitties now only need to get the rabies shots every 3 years. Still will need to get distemper shots every year. Specially since I know we've got it here.
Georgie and Zana will get shots in December. Rudy will get them in March. Trying to be the responsible kitty parent.
Thomas did impress the vets there yesterday with his large size. The tech called him a cougar. She said he weighs 16 lb 12 oz. I thought he was only 16 1/2 lbs. They also said he was not very fat. Just large. She said he gets even heavier the longer you carry him around. Too funny.

Vaccinations for Spot & Thomas

Took Spot and Thomas into the vet clinic today to get distemper and rabies shots. The vet tech made a mistake and gave them leukemia vaccination too. That was the most expensive but they didn't charge me for it. The little kitties were very scared and panicked on the ride up, especially my Spot. She cried most of the way there and back. I feel sorry for my babies getting 3 shots, but at least they are protected now.
