Mt Pisgah walk

12/7/08 Mom, Matthew, Savannah, and I went for a walk at Mt. Pisgah arboretum. It may have been raining...You know how it can be in Oregon in December.

Georgia

Georgia kitty went in to the vet on Friday. She will now just be a kitten all her life, no little kittens for her. She is doing very well, but I am to keep her sedated and in the house for 2 to 3 days. So long because she is a very young kitty-just now 4 months old. After I dropped her off at the vet, I went up to the farm to see the parents. Well the parents were not there. So I drank coffee and called and talked with Shena for a long time on Dad's cheap long distance phone plan. I had a vacation day on Friday so I was able to goof off. Woo Hoo!

Isn't my Fuzzy kitten cute

Just couldn't resist another picture of Fuzzy.

Wanted: Coffee grounds!

Anyone local, please pick up coffee grounds for me at Starbucks if they have them when you are there. (or at any of the coffee places if they have them available.) Coffee is an excellent source of nitrogen for the composters, plus they compost warmer so it is very good for my worm bins in the winter, helps keep my red wiggler worms from freezing when it is cold.

Can you find Thomas in this picture?

Thomas is virtually invisible in the Aquafina box, in fact, you may not even be able to see him. He is hidden very well and ready to ambush an unsuspecting person or fuzzy kitten, whichever

Fuzzy & Me

I put the camera on a timer and took this picture of Fuzzy & me at the computer.

Updates on the wild bunch

Well I have lost 2 kittens to feline distemper. One very sick kitty I believe is going to make it. I have spent the last week tending to him every few hours; making him eat, drink, and take antibiotics. He is drinking some water on his own, but not food yet, and he now feels well enough to want to be held ALL the time. The other 2 kittens do not appear to have gotten the disease. I am going to arrange with the vet to begin their vaccinations, if I can catch the wildest one that is.
Fuzzy has been kept in the house through most of his illness, letting him out to the garden only during the warmest part of the day. I think he is starting to like being a house cat instead of a strictly garden variety. (pun intended, of course)
