Well the "dog days" of summer are upon us!
It has been so hot and humid here lately that it's hard to get much done. Frequent breaks are essential. Drinking lots of fluids... non-carbonated types, and getting into cooler areas (indoors with A/C, or fans, under shady trees or covered patios, etc) are vital to surviving this type of heat without getting sick.
Even then, one may still become ill just from too much heat; as I did the other day. :(
I know I've missed several days posting here... in part due to illness - enough that I just wasn't able to write anything; in part due to being out of town; and in part due to the final countdown days to my triplets' graduation party!
Things should return to normal very soon and I hope to get back to daily posting by the middle of the month.
Our kittens have kept us very busy as well. At 7 weeks (tomorrow) they are growing fast and making excellent progress in weaning. They should all be ready for adoption to their own families in another week or two. It is my hope that by the end of August all 3 will have their lifetime homes to go to. After that the mama kitty will be scheduled for her spaying, get updated with shots, and be on her way to her new lifetime home with my niece (who used to live with me and moved out just before the kittens were born - we kept the new mama & babies here as we felt it best for them not to be moved and my niece's new residence only allows one cat). Come September we'll be back to being a one cat - a one tomcat - household. O'Riley will no doubt totally appreciate not needing to worry about what some crazy feline female will do next (to protect her babies)!
