Wookie the Kitten

This is Wookie. Well, that is the name that Ursula (the woman who so generously is taking care of her) gave to the kitten that I found a little over a week ago. She also has a dog named Doofus, a cat named Piranha and two deceased animals named Pickle and Burger....funny but inventive (all in addition to her other rescued animals). Wookie is doing so good and growing. Her colors are changing to more of a lighter grey with brown. She has two orangish streaks on each side of her face. She is in excellent health and shows no signs of feline leukemia. She is now 4 weeks old and is no longer being bottle fed.

I went over on Friday and got to see her drink out of a bowl and play around. Well, they don't really play at 4 weeks, just kind of move around and explore their surroundings. She loves to be held and petted.

In two weeks, her care is being handed over to me. I have to find her a home or Shane has to fall in love with her and let me keep her...like I need any more animals, huh? I don't really know that I want another cat so I have been in contact with some animal rescue groups that will let you foster the animal and then bring them in to Petsmart or Petco on Saturdays for adoption. I can assure you it would not be hard to adopt her out as she is so cute and loving. But, that will be hard for me as I fall in love with animals so easily. I will also be sending out another e-mail plea to all I know to see if anyone is interested in adopting her. Here are a couple more photos of her:

Other news: The weather here is awesome...in the mornings mostly and in the shade the rest of the day. We enjoyed Sunday after Shane came home just being outside with Jacob. I also took Jacob shopping for some winter clothes. He was so cute, trying on everything and then checking himself out in the mirror. He kept saying "It's good" even when the pants were too short on him.

Shane left this morning for San Jose. We miss him when he is gone but I sure do get a lot done.

Funny story: Jacob spent Saturday night with his MiMi and PawPaw. They were watching a tv show on the space shuttle Challenger. Jacob asked his PawPaw when it (meaning the disaster) happened...PawPaw said a long time ago. Jacob wanted to know how long ago...PawPaw said about 20 years ago. Jacob asked...where the dinosaurs alive then? Cute huh? I don't know when they actually start to get the whole time thing.
