Couple weeks ago DS shows up at the clinic with a broken 6 week-old kitten. Someone had thrown the kitten out of a moving car on the Interstate at highway speed. Son's GF saves the cat, then calls DS because she knows he has an inside connection at the vet (DW).
Anyway, the cat. The lil guy hit the road pretty hard. Unfortunately, his left front leg was damaged beyond repair and had to be amputated. DS told the girls @ the clinic to "put it on Mom's bill." The girls at the clinic, who know him very well since he used to work @ the clinic, told him that he better discuss it with DW first. What's DW going to say?
Kitten comes home post-surgery for observation/rehab/fostering. This is my life, an endless parade of broken and rejected animals from various sources: the clinic, animal control, random people finding baby squirrels/rabbits/raccoons/birds, etc. The phrase "I need new squirrel nipples" is not considered weird at my house. The idea, as always, is to get the kitten back on it's (three) feet, socialize him, and then place him with someone else. Adopting out a three-legged kitten is a lot easier than you might think. People like a tragic backstory.
No Name kitten (once you name them you are screwed, I speak from experience) is still here. Stitches came out last week and he is getting around pretty good. The dogs ignore him because they have seen a
lot of fosters come and go. I have become concerned that he won't...go. <sigh>
Another foster fail cat. DW says that if I "make" her get rid of him, as if I could actually "make" her do anything, then I "owe" her a puppy.
Hope the photo doesn't upset anyone, I assure you this kitten is doing very well.

They are so adorable. I bet it's hard to get laundry done without help from Opie. 
... I have NO idea what that was about
