Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Until the stars are all alight
New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by! |
|
|
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well! |
|
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed! |

Well, the fact that she's a bag of bones might be because she's full of rounds (and tapes too, prolly) - thus the bloated tummy.
You don't happen to have dewormers around do ya?

Nope... she may be wormy, but I also think she's pregnant.
To: RMDupree; HairOfTheDog
I just think her belly is too big for it to be just worms...though that would really be the best scenario, sad as it would be. She's so thin and so tiny that I'd worry about her trying to have kittens. Poor little thing...
She really has a gorgeous face - it doesn't really show up in that picture. And she's very gentle and friendly.
To: HairOfTheDog
Do you need to borrow a small carrier or anything?
I have a few things I'd like to bring over for her in the morning if that's OK...
To: RosieCotton
Well, ecurbh's not happy about this prospect, money-wise, but tomorrow I'll take her to the vet and get her checked over.
And then we'll give the kittens to Ruthy as a housewarming present. :~D
To: RosieCotton
I do need your carrier. Ours is still up at the beach house.
To: HairOfTheDog
I can help.
And she should at least be looked over, regardless of where things go from there.
It isn't good timing, though, it's true.
To: HairOfTheDog
OK, I'll get that together first thing in the morning and bring it over.
To: RosieCotton
I just can't take her to a shelter, they're about to be inundated with spring kittens, if they aren't already.
To: HairOfTheDog
Good morning! Good of you to help the wee creature.
The phrase "spring kittens", however, conjures an image of bouncing hyperactivity that may not be too far off the mark..."they're extra springy this year!"

To: HairOfTheDog

She's OK - She's closed off from the others for the moment, and I have a feeling the back bedroom will become her nursery.
The small animal clinic was jammed today, but I have an appointment tomorrow morning. That's OK, she's been eating, her poo looks good, and I don't think birth is immediate. I want to get her on some higher power food, some canned kitten food at least, today.
To: JenB
Mornin'
Got the book. Thanks.
