I swear I just posted about my weekend and here we are again about to start a new one. I guess that is a good thing, however I just don't know where the time has gone. Okay that is a lie, I do know where it has gone. It has gone into caring for many animals. I mentioned in the last post that I was going down to 2 houses and 7 animals. Again I lied (seeing a trend?) Actually I forgot about some other friends who were going out of town and that I would be watching their house and cats as well. So on Monday I was done with one house and with one dog. Now it was 6 cats and one dog that I was caring for. Tuesday started me with a new house and 3 more cats. Total count at that time? 9 cats and one dog. Now 6 of those cats are pretty self sufficient. They do get a bit of snuggle time and really all they want is their cat box clean and some food in the bowl. The kittens? They require a bit more attention. They want to snuggle, play, be fed, run free and crazy. The dog? She wants pretty much the same. Throw in some walks and she is good.

Last night I said goodbye to the kittens. I had blocked off an area that gave them some running room. Really if you are feeling down, sit and watch some kittens play for awhile. I haven't laughed so hard in awhile. I wasn't down, but watching them? I could see how they could cheer someone up. At one point the two boy kittens, they were body slamming each other. Running full force from one end of the hallway to another and then launching themselves at each other. The little girl could hold her own as well. I sat in the hallway with them while they played and read a book. I became the climbing toy. For one of the boy kitten's it was like I was the "safe". He would constantly use me to hide from his brother and sister. After about an hour of running non stop, two of the kittens were tiring out and were curling up in my lap and purring. That is when the door bell rang. It was time for the kittens to go back home. They actually hissed at Amy and backed away from her. They had forgotten her! I felt so bad. They were all sitting calmly in their little box just staring up at me with the look of "do we have to leave???" It kinda broke my heart. So if anyone in the NOLA area was some sweet kittens let me know.....I would take them...if there wasn't already 3 at my house. Okay I would take one...but again with 3 already at my house? Not gonna happen. I think the dog will be my most high maintenance animal now, and like I said, she is pretty good. Other than the other night when she got into something that gave her diarrhea and made her throw up. She is better now.

So there will be a lot of running from house to house to house this weekend caring for animals. Don't worry I will get my fix of music as well this weekend. :)

We are also less than one week from my sister and family arriving in town!! WHOO HOO!!
