Here's the beautiful mama kitty. . .

 . . . and four of her precious babies!

Their growth and development has been amazing to watch. Just a week ago the kittens could only walk two or three steps without stumbling. Not only have they gotten perceptibly bigger, their coordination has improved to an incredible de...

They're growing and developing! See Mama in the background keeping an eye on the babies?

The babies are growing like crazy! It's not so obvious just looking at them (like in a still photo), but they've gained weight each day over the three days I've been weighing them. They're also less awkward and more adventurous (but still endearingly clumsy!)

I've been letting Mama Isabel out a few times a day, giving her some time away from her kittens. I had the five little ones with me on the bed this morning while Izzy roamed. It's such a precious experience, having wee kitties clim...

Here's our littlest kitty, (not counting the fosters!) after her surgery last week.

I've gotten two new clients in the last few weeks who look to become regulars. One has four cute little dogs, and the other has a small farm. I've had contacts with a couple of other possibilities, too.

She also thought mama was feral, but it’s clear to me she’s not! Mama (I’ve named her Isabel) was a little wary of me at first and i...

I'm finally getting around to starting this blog! I've been urged to start one and share my experiences!

My first pet sit involved taking care of TWELVE animals--three dogs, three cats, six mini horses, and one full-sized horse! It was hard work and I definitely earned my pay, but I loved it! What a blast! 

I have a regular dog walking gig, twice a week--just the kind of thing to establish a steady income! I'm re-discovering my love for dogs! 

Currently I'm taking ...
