I was guessing that a lot of those big trees around the bridge blew down too, maybe enough to loosen the banks, and then the flooding undermined the footings and the whole thing just fell in and got swept away. It must’ve been some more flood though. I wouldn’t have wanted to be there that’s for sure!
Yeah - we missed a heck of a show. That’s for sure! Curious now to take a look out on the rest of the trails and see what’s changed!
Well that's handy. I don't think they've done anything like that around here. That's a good thing to do.
Well, I gotta head on over to my mother-in-law's for Mother's Day lunch so I'll talk to y'all later.
After we took them out of the attic
Aww... any sign of momma today?
Yeah she came back this morning. Very skinny and exhausted. Wasn’t interested in looking for the babies. She’s not eating though. Just drinking a lot of water. If she doesn’t shake it off she’s going to the vet tomorrow. If nothing is wrong I’m going to go ahead and get her spaded. Even if she still could nurse I’m not sure what’s wrong with her so I haven’t put her with them.
Poor thing. I hope she recovers. At least she managed to have the babies healthy and put them in your care.
Glad to hear you are okay - it sounded like things were very bad your way.
They are precious :)
Yes, health check up, shots and spay sound like a great idea. Since she decided you’re a good foster mom, don’t give her the opportunity to bring you more babies.
Yeah. The gold one (lily) is Sarah’s and staying here because she lives in an apartment. One of the others..the boys will take home so only two to be adopted. My DIL said she would come get hers and bottle feed it but I want to keep them together for heat and security awhile....but since she offered...shes coming over to do the lunch feedings while I’m at work tomorrow.
I have one eating drinking out of the bowl now. She’s the big one. I still gave her a bottle earlier caz she seemed hungry. I don’t know how much she was eating on her own. Maybe she just being a pig.I’m going to try cat food with her next.
They are so cute. I hope they all do well and get to their respective homes. Kittens are so cute, especially when they start batting at each other.
Duchess I put a little bit of can cat food in a bowl with milk. The big one went right to it and another ate a little bit. I think in a day or two the dark ones might be weaned. The little one may take awhile though. She doesn't even suck on the nipple much. Tell you son thanks.
Glad the bad stuff missed you. Right now the wind is blowing here and the skies are darking. Radar shows nothing there though.
He’s here now and I’ll pass that on to him. I’m glad to hear that three of them might end up weaned quickly.
Rain here, is a big event. We just "watch it":')
