I forgot, Lilly had six puppies on Thursday the 11th of Feb. Since its so cold out, mama and babies are in the bathtub in one of the bathrooms. They are fat and rolly-polly, she is feeding them well!
Saturday the 20th, I had to take Tigwee in for a C-section (and a spay!) promptly at 8 am when the vets office opened. This cat has been in two car accidents (incidents?) in the past, hence why she's a house cat now. She had three kittens total, but the first one was stuck (hence the C-section) and then had two left, a male and a female. The male died Monday afternoon, he wasn't very thrifty to begin with. Then Wednesday the female wasn't doing very good. She passed later that evening. Even with supplemental milk, I think they were damaged in-utero (before birth). Tigwee had regular contractions at 4 am Saturday morning, and I know the vet didn't get to her until after noon, maybe even 1 o'clock. :( So that's how that all went.
Kyle had another Speech Team debate Saturday, and then again on Monday. Jared went target practising again on Saturday with some friends.
Patrick and Jared have been helping some friends tear out and old double-wide here in town to get everything ready for their new house to be moved in, oh, in about two weeks. Talk about stress and crunch time! The cold, windy, snowy weather hasn't been helping matters much, either.
I'm excited, and will be happy along with them when its all done and they can move in. Lets hope the weather holds out for some windless days!
We got a dusting of snow last Thursday (or was that Friday?)), and then a few inches again on Sunday. Of course with wind and cold. Today (the 24th)we have another Arctic blast coming through making it windy and cold again. I think our high is to be 24* (don't have a clue of what the windchill will be) and tonight it will be 5*. Maybe just maybe it'll warm up enough to thaw some snow later on in the week! Spring will get here, but its sure taking its sweet time this year!
