Fosters #23 & 24
Mama Lucy and baby Saydee

Oh.my.guuuudness! It's great to have babiessssh again!

Please help me welcome Lucy and her little girl, Saydee. When Saydee was three weeks old, she became severely ill with a URI and was admitted to the hospital for ten days. While she is now all better, she is very small for her age and needs some major TLC to get her to 2lbs.

What's that? A challenge? I ACCEPT!

Saydee had never been in an open space before, so when I brought her home she went nuts. She ran every which way, climbed anything she could, crawled under anywhere she could fit and just had the best time. She exhausted herself and is now sound asleep.

Lucy is very sweet - she reminds me of Coco :) She's asleep right here next to me on the couch.

More later!

Now & Then...

My little babiesssh are back at the ASPCA...very sad. I know they are in good hands and will find their forever homes very soon. I will admit that I cried when giving them back - two months is a long time, especially since they came to me when they were so small.

The apartment is very quiet (and clean)! My mind continues to play tricks on me and I think they are still here. I keep talking out loud and calling them...aye, I really need to get a life!

While I miss having little ones running around, I'm taking a little break before getting new kittehs. Check back in a week or so :)

Oh, I miss my little babiesssh.

BABIESSSH!

Man oh man, they are the best.

Coco is now back at the ASPCA, so I am a full-time mom, eeeeeeeek. The kittehs are doing very well though and while I'm sure they miss their real mommy, I'm a great replacement :)

They are HUGE, well, just about two pounds now, which means they will be going back to the ASPCA on Saturday, sniff, sniff. Although, I'm so glad that I was able to watch these little babies grow-up.

We had a giant sleepover in my bed the other night, which made me very happy, so I will miss their company when they leave. They were so great to have around during those late nights when I was working on my thesis. There is no better company than a wittle tiny kitten.

If you or someone you know is interested in one of these babiesh, let me know!

So many kittehs!

Cora..........1lb 10oz

The babies are growing and nearing the 2lbs mark, which makes me very sad, but I've had such a great time with these little ones! I suspect we have about another 2 weeks with them before it's time to take them back.

They are absolutely insane and just run around being crazy. They have definitely taken over the apartment and go wherever they please, including in my plants! Conchita climbs the trunks of my big plants and just sits at the top in the leaves. She is definitely queen of the jungle!

Coco is doing well, but you can tell she is getting ready for them to stop nursing. She has been spending more and more time in the other rooms, away from them, which they do not like, but they need to start the weaning process. They are almost 7 weeks old now, which means they really don't need to nurse anymore, so it's important that I encourage them to rely on solid foods more than her milk.

I'm definitely going to miss this bunch - they hold a special place in my heart because I got them so young. Okay, I won't even think of their departure right now since there is still plenty of time to play and snug!
