The Hobbit Hole XXIX - Until the stars are all alight...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 04/20/2006 2:10:46 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

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!

She's so bony when she cuddles it's like cuddling with Ann Coulter ;~D

I'm gonna tidy that room up, fold up the beds and put a birthing box in there today.

I went to the DOL on my lunch break and picked up the new trailer license tab, by the way.

Oh - good. Did you have to sign in blood that we weren't tryin' to rip 'em off?

I've managed to make a 'whelping box' of sorts in a corner of the spare bedroom by kindof walling off a corner with the two rollaway beds, and lining the inside with old blankets and towels. I then tried to make the closet uncomfortable by removing anything soft from it so the 'whelping box' is about the only comfortable place.

Any chance there are large boxes available there at work? I'd like one about 2 feet square, a foot high. The 'file box' size boxes we have are too small.

***Ponders the name "Whacks with Fish" as a potential Nanowrimo character***

Thanks for the loan! It was a good book.

It also took... forever to get there. Huh.

Goodness indeed.

I swear there's some kind of sign out front that says "dump your lost, your homeless, your unwanted animals" :~D

A cheeseburger wouldn't fit in her :~D

But she's eating as much cat food as she wants :~D

That was the case with my family growing up. Once a momma cat got picked off by coyotes and left seven 2-week old kittens. Mom and I wiggled under a crawlspace to get them out. They slept in a box in my bedroom and we fed them a homemade formula by syringe (no needle, of course). Marvelous experience! Neighbors were always bringing foundlings by - including one we named Rambo. He had an amazing talent of scaling curtains like spiderman climbs a building. He'd also drape himself around your neck and just be along for the ride. Lots and lots of critters over the years.

The closest one I found is 2 x 1.5, 8 inches high.

Does it look big enough to hold a little momma cat and some nursin' kittens?
