Yesterday, the two sidewalks were formed and poured. Today, we'll work on sprucing them up--adding the mulch, pebbles and tidying up the area. We'll also rake the dirt up, spread out grass seed and put straw on it all. Also today the floor guys will arrive! I'm so excited about this. A week from today, the floor will be done, but will need to "set" for a couple more days. Then the furnace will be put in, the countertops, cabinets and mop boards put in. Then...........we finally get to move in! I can hardly wait!
Derecho has discovered the joy of licking out baby food jar lids--he likes it! Every scrap is licked off! Cozarelii spent time yesterday looking and looking at the kuranda tower beside my desk. He finally stepped on to it and climbed to the top, all without falling. A nap was then in order! Later I saw he had gotten down too, by himself. So so proud of that boy!
Little Pumpkin and Ginger are out and about a bit more. They are so tiny, yet so confident and brave. Their little legs can run--they are strong. Won't be long until Catsparella's kittens are also out--they know now what the door is and like to try to escape out of the room. Can you imagine those 7 too added to the mix of kittens running around?
We had BOXES last night! Fun, exciting and we're so grateful!

You might have noticed Cutie's fur is disappearing. We're on top of it, or so we hope. Our vet has had us switch to a different medicine for our Cutie girl. She has an obsessive licking compulsion that sometimes gets the best of her. I believe this different med will be of help to her. We'll have to ask her to lick the kittens instead!
I saw Sara (the kitten) fall asleep yesterday.........on the top of the palm tree! She had herself intertwined and was safe and sound. Dovie loves the windows in the Kabana Room--she can be found there at any time (other than when she's on her favorite step), just watching the birds. What a really nice cat. Her other favorite thing is to have her back scratched. Maui has discovered that when the 6 kittens are out of Dodger's Pen that it's time to hop in there herself and feast on their baby dry kitten food--a real treat!
Fabio dares you to rub his tummy!
