All the pretty babies...

This is the "M" litter, babies to Madeline. These babies are about 5-weeks old now, starting to use the litterbox and crunching on some dry food. They play each other and with mom, climb their little single level condo and are playing with toys.

This is the "J" litter, babies to Jewell. These kittens are about 4 -weeks old, wanting to start exploring a bit and moving with less wobble. They wrestle with each other but can't see well enough yet to play with toys.

In other pet news...we took in Wiley's "yard-mates" because their owner was being evicted. So we are very, VERY temporarily housing "Malachi" and "Doll", two 1-yr old Lab/St. Bernards or Labernards. They had a similar life as Wiley, chained to their dog houses...but they're going to a better life! A rescue in Chicago is taking them this Saturday! Yay!On a sad note, Gypsy prolapsed again Tuesday night. She went to the vet on Wednesday to have it "corrected" and now she's on another round of trial meds/food to see if we can prevent this from occuring again. She is such a beautiful sweet cat, it's so frustrating that this is happening to her.

Oh my goodness! First of all, I'm thinking of Gypsy. I really hope things improve for her.

Secondly, you two are saints for taking in those other dogs.

Third, the kittens are adorable. I can't help but crack up at Jimi...he looks a little stoned in that picture, just like his namesake. :)
