Cheesers

After almost an intolerable heat yesterday, TUESDAY dawned cold, windy, & rainy. It was a relief from yesterday when even the dogs were seeking out the coolest rooms in the house. Angus buried herself in the bathroom; Bravo snuck into his kennel in the corner, and Harry stretched out on the living room floor. Isabelle seemed unaffected as she stayed upstairs most of the day while coming down to whine for "out" when she wanted to touch up her brown-dog suntan!

It was an effort to get through my time on the elliptical yesterday. I had all the fans concentrated in my direction, and still I sweated a river.

While I was getting laundry sorted, hubby came home. He had already gone up to Sandpoint to pick up supplies for work and found a ragged, abandoned kitten. It was a surprise to find the little thing in the rolled up t-shirt he handed me. A quick stop at the local vet had provided us with kitten milk. It appears that there was one other kitten that had passed away in the warehouse and an extensive search did not reveal a mother. So hubby brought it home for me to nurse. Am having to feed it every hour; make it poo & pee with a wet washrag; and keep it swaddled in blankets near a heating pad!

Maybe we can pass this kitten off to Matt & Kelsey as the one they left here before they moved to the UK.

The little thing still has the dried up umbilical cord on it; and doesn't have its eyes open yet! We haven't settled on a name yet. I want to see if he survives. Hubby wants "Cheesers".

We have our dog (human)-training classes tonight. Might pick up one of the new Domino Pasta Bread Bowls on the way home.

See Ya!
