#cat-rescue

Well, this was a day… My younger daughter and I were out shortly after 6am to try and snag cats into carriers. Particularly the two in the isolation shelter with Bug. We let Bug out. She’s been in there for a week since her spay, and my daughter was able to give her the dewormer pill finally, yesterday. She will be better outside the shelter – especially in this heat! Unfortunately, we had…

My original plan. It’s colder today, so I was going to wait until we got near our expected high of the day, do some work outside, then visit my mother. Of course, that didn’t quite happen as planned. I never got any work done outside at all. After my morning rounds, I had breakfast and spent some time catching up on my computer, which is working very well again right now. Which is when I found…

We’re at 10C/50F as I write this. “Real feel” at 12C/54F – and we still haven’t reached our high of the day! Tomorrow is supposed to be even warmer. I am so enjoying this. First up, I made sure to check on the well pump this morning, and I’m happy to say… View this post on Instagram … everything is drying up nicely, and there is no sign of any leaks. The picture is out of focus because that…

This morning was chilly. Just chilly; the incoming weather system hadn’t reached us yet. I was actually able to do extended rounds, with so much snow finally melted away after yesterday’s warmth. All of which froze overnight. The amount of water had actually gone done quite a bit before it froze, though! This is behind our garage, this morning.

What a relief! After the well pump stopped working, we had to make do with a few things. Thankfully, we already buy drinking water in 5 gallon jugs, though we soon switched to our last one. We didn’t have any water to wash with, but we did have wet wipes to help keep clean. Using the toilet was out of the question, but with so many problems with our septic, we’ve used a honey pot more than a few…

I ended up awake for most of the night. Just couldn’t sleep for some reason. Which turned out to be a good thing! I spotted a message waiting for me, from the woman we passed Kohl on to, yesterday. (Kohl, I’ve just been informed, is now with her foster, and I will get more updates once they connect again, later today.) Of course, we ended up talking cats. I was asked about any adult friendlies…

As I was finishing my rounds this morning, I got quite a few cat pictures that I could send to the rescue. Including this one of Rolando Moon.

I shared quite a few other…
