Happy New Year, Everyone!
2011 was a big, expensive year in animals around here, so I thought I would share some photos and stories from the past year to welcome us into 2012.
January 2011
- We started 2011 with an animal clan count of three: Lola, Kitty, and Betelgeuse.
- Box Cat, the TNR feral cat who liked to hang out in our backyard, used the cat shelter that Kyler and I built out of a discarded kitchen cabinet to weather the cold January months.
- We met and fostered rescue pup Victor, a wonderful 20-lb. black dog (he looked like Kira's older brother), for two weeks until he went to his forever home in early January.
- Kyler, Betelgeuse, and I took a trip to Virginia Beach to visit Future Cat (+ his feline housemates, Caddie Wompus, Bear, and Boy Cat). Betelgeuse got an unwelcome bath at Two Brothers Self Service Dog Wash.
- In late January, we started fostering postpartum Lulu, an 8-lb. black dog (she looked like Kira's little sister), pending her scheduled spay operation.
- We had so much snow in January. Three-legged Kitty helped me build a snow fort, and Betelgeuse played fetch on top of it.
