Raindrops on roses...

So, I once again suck at writing anything in this consistently. Oh well. It's my blog and I'll write if I want to. (Gah, I'm a dork!)

We have an outside kitty who kinda adopted us last fall/winter. We have no idea where she came from. She was obviously someone's pet because she was super friendly and would come up to us just about from day 1. I started putting food out for her against the better judgement of my groom. Well, as should have been expected, she ends up pregnant. Socks (the hubs named her!) disappeared for a couple weeks but eventually brought 4 kittens back to our back porch. They were precious and so fun to watch but definitely weren't okay with people yet.

Since she brought the kittens to our house, they, mama and all babies, have disappeared 2 different times for at least a week at a time. Each time she comes back, she is short one kitten. We are now down to mama cat and just 2 babies. Part of me wants to be worried about them, but another part of me says, "Hey. We live in the country. They are probably chilling in someone else's pasture eating their fill of field mice." Either way, it's one less mouth to feed. And let me tell you, having 2 inside cats, 2 inside dogs, and 5 outside cats equals a crap-ton of animal food!

In other news, this puppy of ours does NOT want to be housebroken!! No matter what we do. UGH!!!!! We put her face in it, we leave her outside for hours on end, nothing helps. I am so stinking sick of cleaning up dog messes that I could scream!
