Double Trouble

Remember the kittens I RESCUED from

the burn pile?

They are are growing like weeds

and are into everything!

As I write this they are climbing up the back

of my chair and Henry just ran across my

keyboard and closed this box.

Thank heaven's Blogger saves our posts

as we type!

Despite the disruptions

they are a blast.

They keep us in stitches

and make us almost purr with pleasure. 

I took these photo's while I sat

at our computer trying to compose

a blog post.

Dora The Explorer is the black kitten

and she'll be going to her new home soon.

I'm really going to miss her. 

Secretly I wish the people would take 

both of them because 

Henry is going to be lost without her.

This past week they've discovered

all kinds of new things. Like if they

climb on the office chair they can jump 

onto the desk.

Or if 'Mom' leaves the desk drawer open 

they have a new hiding place.

At night I put them in the bathtub

with their little 'blankie'

and water and some dry food

and shut the shower curtain.

They can jump up onto the ledge 

of the bathtub 

but they haven't discovered

that all they have to do is jump down

and they'll be free.

I guess since they can't see the floor 

because of the shower curtain 

they're afraid to jump.

That's ok with me!

So far they've never had an 'accident'

not even in the bathtub.

I've had to save my basket of flowers

under the bathroom sink

from being destroyed.

My poor rustic twig

table and stool are taking a beating

or rather a chewing and a scratching.

Scars that will bring back happy memories

down the road.

It's been so hot here in Kansas.

Just a few minutes ago the weatherman 

mentioned that our area hit

108 today. 

We worked outside despite the heat

but it sure was nice to jump into the

pool for a quick dip.

What's the weather been like where you live?

I hope you have a WONDERFUL week!

Kitty Love!

Dora The Explorer (discovered SHE is a HE)

Remember the kittens we found 

here on the farm a few weeks ago?

If you didn't see that post you can see it...

HERE

Well momma cat decided to move them

probably to protect them from the dogs

as the kittens were moving around

and probably in danger of falling out 

of the truck.

Plus the dogs discovered the kittens

hiding place but couldn't get to them.

Hubby told one of the fellows 

at work about 

the kittens and I took pictures. 

He said he'd take the black one ...but 

when we went out to check on them last

week they were gone!

The next day I heard one of our little dogs

barking and thank heavens I heard it

because momma cat had carried them

into the BURN PILE!

This is a huge pile of limbs and other wood

that we accumulate from cleaning up 

around the farm.

I chased the dogs away and then sat on the ground

and talked to them. The two kittens were way

inside but there was enough light to just

 see them. 

Thank heaven's we had picked them up and

handled them and talked to them when

they were in the truck because 

when they heard my voice 

the came out!

The little black sweetie above will go to her

new home in a couple of weeks.

The little one below 

aka

Dora The Explorer

soon to be renamed...

will be staying with us here on the farm.

Unfortunately for their own protection

we have taken them away from 

the mom who we haven't seen since

and brought them in the house.

Our little Shih Tzu Chelsea

would have been able to get to them

 if we'd left them there 

and I just didn't want to take that chance. 

I'm happy to say they are doing 

wonderful and are happy and well fed!

And safe.

Isn't that the most adorable face above!

Sleepy time.

Time for a wrestle!

Time to explore.

And time to go inside for a nap.

I hope you have a WONDERFUL day!

Maura :)
