Chili’s Babies–That Dreadful Day

Look at these sweet little babies!! All grown up and ready for their new homes. Not particularly my favorite time, I admit.

This picture is missing the dark kitty because she wouldn’t sit still with her siblings.

This one we call “toes” because…

she has one striped toe!

The grandkids call this sweetie “Flint.” She’s the fluffy one.

This is “Spot,” because she has a spot by her nose and one by her eye.

And last but not least, we have “Tigerface.” I’ve posted my babies to my friends on Facebook, so I’m supposing they will be gone very quickly.

I’m being very brave right now.

Deep breath. Deep breath.

My Sweethearts

I positively LOVE this phase of the kitty-ness!

You know that place where they’re eyes are open…

and they’re starting to prance around a bit…

but they’re not quite climbing the curtains yet.

THAT phase almost makes it easier to give them away.

Almost.

But not really.

Pocket Parakeet

Magoo came to me the other day with two little balls of yarn–one green and one pink. He said, “Grammy, what can we make with these?”

Knowing that this fellow loves birds–parakeets in particular, I said, “It looks like just the right amount to make a little bird. He liked the idea.

I wanted to give the little guy green wings but oooooh, I ran out of green yarn and only had enough to edge them. Also, the pattern I found didn’t have a tail–whaaaat?! So I had to make one up.

It’s a tiny little thing. Just right for a bird loving boy’s pocket.

Love you, Magoo.

Our little Hazel loves Unicorns. No, no…I mean she REEEEALY loves unicorns. She wants to go to Scotland someday NOT because that’s where our family comes from–but because apparently, their national animal is a Unicorn. She’s convinced that in some mystical, magical forest over there–she will certainly find one…

and bring it home.

For real.
