Pets!

We got a new surrender of a family (guys, kitten season is starting…) with mom, dad, and three week-old kittens.

Another foster took mom and kittens, but wouldn’t take dad because she didn’t want to risk mom getting pregnant again. (Nursing does not stop a female cat from getting pregnant.)

But guys, this is dad in an isolation cage at the shelter. (Two week quarantine is mandatory even though we are a free range shelter.)

He is SO SAD. The foster has also been having issues with mom being really stressed out and moving the babies into the litterbox. So I talked to husband and we are going to reunify the whole family. Hopefully it lowers the stress for everyone.

I feel bad for the foster, because we get super attached to our babies within the first 24 hours, buy I can’t stand that sweet orange boy being sad like that for even one more day.

(We will be bringing the SWAT team in to be adopted Tuesday, so we will have two rooms with kittens for a few days.)

The Family is reunited and mom was SO HAPPY last night!! Today daddy has asserted some more independence and is only visiting. Regardless, everyone is doing so much better.

And just Milo because he is in a unicorn bed and so happy.

Edit: also correction above, the babies are no more than two weeks, probably closer to 7 days because their eyes aren’t open yet.

Tango is helping with the ghost problem now.

I have too many animals, but today I wanna introduce you to my horse. (Great Pyr/Boxer)

With guest appearance by our very jealous pit bull.

Still learning this camera, but the lighting was too perfect for her intense dinner staring.

Baby Pyre

Also, the best way to know you married an awesome guy is to see how excited he gets when the wee (still all under 200 gram) babies open their eyes. All caps texts, followed by photos and then a video of him taking softly to the baby.

@Cobalt I LOVE YOU, HORSE

Cobalt

@hellfrog he loves you back 100% especially if you will sneak him a bit of hotdog. Mind the slobber tho. It’s as thick as glue.

@Cobalt i know it well i have my own horse

Cobalt

@hellfrog your horse was why I went looking for my own. Though I expected my pyr/husky to be the horse, but she is a petit 70 pounds compared to the above horse’s 150.

Trying to get him to come inside when he wants to stay outside is a whole ordeal.

Cobalt

The pack assembled, wanting to know why they can’t go to Walmart.

@Cobalt trust me cuties you don’t want to go to Wal Mart! Shopping sucks!

Cobalt

@hellfrog Willow LOVES shopping. She doesn’t care where we go she just loves going places. She is incredibly outgoing and such a ham.

Opie is VERY unhappy with the new harness he is getting for transport for the move. (Off now because he went out to the yard after having it on for an hour or so to get used to it.)
