Kids and Kittens
14 years ago
I start up my after school teaching bit tomorrow afternoon so Angel gets to teach art again! Exciting stuff. I've gotten all my supplies done, the lesson plan for tomorrow is all ready and colored and I thought tonight I was going to be able to sleep for the first time in a while.
Apparently not.
I work also at a vet clinic (my mother's) and worked there all weekend. Well, we are also the city pound there and take in animals that the Animal Control officers find to either re-unite or try to find homes for. Well, when I was taking care of one of the boarding dogs and two cop cars pull up I knew something was up.
What I didn't expect was for a very large PD officer to come in with his coat gathered up to his chest and another officer following him in.
He then showed me the two day old pair of kittens he was coddling.
And of course, I get to take the home. I'm not going to let them starve! TWO DAYS OLD KITTENS.
Unfortunately they need to be fed every 2 hours during the day and 3-4 hours at night.
See where my sleep is going? Out the window apparently.
*heavy sigh* Time to start taking naps in between feedings. Luckily my mother can take them when I teach to make sure they're eating and such. That's the good news.
Start teaching, just got rid of a foster dog and 6 hours later end up with two tiny kittens who still have their umbilical cords attached. Doesn't get better than THAT.
So Angel has two more babies now.

That's... that's so adorable. Poor little tikes. Well, if anything, they'll just grow up big and strong.
