The little kittens are Ok today, kept me up all night. (better get used to that, eh?). They stank and I couldnt leave them like that, so my daughter bathed and I dried, with a hair dryer, we gave them warm kitty milk, some weaning food and they supplied wormy stuff and front line. I dug out the puppy crate thingy and put them in that overnight. They have lapped and eaten, poor little things were so hot, dehydrated, I dont think they would have lasted long, if not found and what a way to die? How can anyone do this? One was very quiet and I didnt think he would live but seems fine today, vet tomorrow for him, he has very long fur so it was scary just how thin he actually is. Oscar is quite lively considering, noone knows how long they were in that bin for. I will do my best with them, there was just no one else to take them, so I was begged, kind of. Could have done without it with everything else going on but well, all you really need is love, right? Cole, Syra and Ruby are a bit put out but they will have extra cuddles when the little ones get a bit better, there is plenty of room here, its not like we live near any main roads, theres hundreds of trees, gravestones and golf course for them to explore when they are older. I hardly see my babies, only at feeding time anyway. I will cope, I just hope these little ones will be OK and come to know that not all humans are so callous. They are so scared, poor things.
Skip, what are you doing here? I was wondering if you came back or if everything is OK? I thought you were away, mind you getting on a bit now, you know, granny stuff setting in. I might have it wrong.
Im struggling, Please hang on in there, the early days are the worst, then it gets better, then you have good and bad days but it is worth it all in the end. My journey was, well, horse ****e, to tell you the truth. I almost went ga ga but I just kept on plodding, sometimes crying my eyes out, sometimes pulling my hair out but here I am, over the very worst hell hole I have ever been through and although life can suck sometimes. I am not scared anymore, I dont wake up scared, I dont go to bed scared, its worth all the money in the world. I am not breaking myself trying to earn every penny and I am not missing the important things in life. Some things in life are priceless, for the rest you can save.
I couldnt ever imagine me driving 30 miles in floods and downpours to rescue two kittens. I would have been too busy, doing the doms for the next day. I was part of the race for better things, my kids next gadget, cos thats what moms do. Not anymore, I am changed for ever, I like myself now, so do my kids.
In 20 years time I might not be here, my daughter might even have kids of her own, will she tell her kids what a lovely phone her mom got her just before her first grandson was born, or will she tell her kids about how she helped bath two little scraps of life, after driving in the dark on the stormy night......
Hang in there.
