Friday, May 31

Solee is a graceful gazelle--at least that's what I tell her! She can walk and run by leaps and bounds. I've never seen a cat that has such springy legs. Love to watch her. I truly think that she enjoys this activity!

The seven kittens in Dodger's Pen have become fast friends. These are the 2 kittens and 5 kittens. Talk about a pen that can rock and roll and that would be Dodger's Pen. They had about an hour to play in Kitty Kabana Room yesterday and they loved it. They will all be named soon!

I am becoming very good at being a one-handed typer, as AP demands much attention in the morning. She can't sit still, but has to rub and rub and rub, in constant motion. What a love she is.

We had a very heavy rain yesterday along with some wind that also caused our electric to go out for a little bit. You all were very patient about the cam! It's predicted for some heavy storms again today and tomorrow, so if the cam goes down, that's why. Remember too, on Monday the entire house will be down for 1 1/2 to 2 hours due to electrical work for the new rooms. 

The 7 kittens in the lower two pens in Thumper's Room are also doing very well. So so sweet. They are also spinning their wheels in big play mode. Today, we will probably move these kittens into the Kabana Room also for some playtime. Names will be happening soon!

We had BOXES last night. I'm ever so grateful to you.

The last coat on the floor in the Mail Room and the extended Thumper's Room continues to dry. I'm wanting so badly to get us moving in, but patience is a key here! We shall wait. 

Depending on the weather, the Covies may get another day out on the farm. They've been asking! Big Al has reverted back (for the most part) of being a Porchie again! We thought he may do this once the weather improved. His ear still looks wonderful. 

Joline's fur is growing in! Cuties fur is also growing back. A comment was made today that it sure looks like Joyful has become the queen of the Welcome Room office--she's quite comfortable there and seems to be giving in to a few pets here and there from visitors!  June 15 is our next surgery date.

The best toy ever--crinkle UPS paper!
