She had 5. So last night I was in bed - we went to bad about 11 or 1130? Anyway I'm starting to doze off and The Precious comes in to the bedroom. Not quietly mind you! The dog can be a real sneak at times, but not last night. She comes over to the bed and starts nudging me. I'm half asleep I figure she wants em to pet her so I do for about 30 seconds then I'm like - dog, go lay down. But she doesn't she nudges me some more. So now I'm thinking, No way you have to go out. and further more, I'm not getting up!

So again, i'm like yes, I see you. pet, pet,pet. Now go lay down. So she gets up paces around and then comes back to the side of the bed and starts pushing on me again. Ok fine! I'm awake now. I'll go let you out........then I hear high pitched mews

So I head out to the living room and now they are really loud so I flip on the over head light and I see the Toes mounting Spunky and blood on the floor. I yell at him to get off her and spin around to see a kitten on the floor in the doorway of the spare bed room, placenta still attached.

It's cold but fussing. Then I hear a second one. Over by the computer. It's cold but in better shape. I snatch up the two babies and put them with Spunky. Grab Toes, throw him outside. Get a towel from the bathroom and try to warm the babies up. Spunky is totally confused.

I grab a box and an old sweatshirt and put mom and kittens in the box by the fireplace. The Precious is worrying herself over the whole mess. She keeps checking back and forth over the babies. She is such a good mom for other animals' babies! Anywho she and I sat up all night with Spunky. She had 5 little babies. Three black and white, one black, grey and white and a solid grey.

The poor cat was so flipped out. But once we got her settled she handles the last two babies all on her own. She is still working it out. She keeps laying on them and then getting upset because they are crying.

Here's a pic of The Precious checking out the baby......

I'm so proud of her though - the dog, not the cat. I mean, how can you be proud of a 10 month old cat who has sex with her brother and then leaves kittens all over the house? She doesn't even have a job! - But, The Precious! She was all Lassie with her "timmy's in the well" behavior!

Yup. It is on my things to undo list. That and find a low cost place cause it looks like I'll have 5 more as well as the proud, if not some what dimwitted mother.

ok...i am such a moron. Not a more man but a more on.

So I take the pot part out of the crock pot to blow out some lil flecks that were in it since for some reason Grandma decided to put the battery chargers for the phones and camera in there? So then I go about filling the crock pot with a roast, potatos, onion, carrots, celery and a cup of water to make the veggies tender...but then the water is coming out of the bottom of the crock put and I'm like, what the heck? Do I have a new crack? What did I do???


I'll tell ya what I did...I didn't put the pot back in the liner and filled up the liner. ok, so I unplug the sizzling crock pot and run to the kitchen sink with it which means I have to hop a dog who's trying to assist in clean up and run around a long counter before I am able to get on the right side of said sink. So I dump everything into a collander and find pot and start again loading pot with yummy goodness. Then I have to wipe down the inside of the liner which in 4 languages I read...after I wipe off juice and brown sizzle from cooking roast..."Caution: Do no cook in the liner. May cause damage to unit and electrical shock."

Well....good thing I noticed that.

Awww kitties! They are so cute. I like when they get that stuck my paw in the socket look where all their hair stands out.

I've done that - not with a crock pot, but an electric skillet. Needless to say, said skillet is no longer electric.

You know, It's the little things, like food, that keep me going. ah life, I hate you.
