Happy Halloween!

We have had a busy week in the Dahl Household. Miss Georgia, seen below, went to her forever home with Abbey, Kevin and Katelyn. We will miss her but she is in a great home!
I also ordered, received and set up my worm composter. 1,000 worms and counting! I am so excited to see how they recycle!


Wormies!!! All 1,000 of them.


Here I am holding up two of them. Boy, they are kinda fast.




Then, on Saturday night, Tim and I, along with Scot and DeAnn, went to Philip's Halloween Costume party. Tim was a vampire tyrant and I was a vampire mistress. We had so much fun!


Vampire Tim's more serious side...

The happy vampire mistress...


DeAnn went as a witch and Scot was a sorcerer.


And here Scot and DeAnn are with Philp, the birthday boy.

I hope everyone has a great week and Have a Spooktacular Halloween on Saturday!

Week Number Five...

Well, Halloween is almost here and the kittens are growing as fast as time flies...


Pixie absolutely LOVES to cuddle at your neck. Here I am trying to read the paper over her loud purr...she is so adorable and sweet, and LOUD.
See how sweet and cute she is???!!! Look at that face!!!

This week we worked on eating some dry food. I mixed it with their wet food and they chowed down. However, they do seem to prefer the wet over the dry...



Play time! Maverick is observing Redd on the computer...oh and look Maverick and Emmett are on the screen saver! I wonder if that confused Redd?



Emmett just loves to groom the kittens, especially after they have eaten. Georgia and Redd are getting their nightly baths.


And now Pixie is loving on Tim. She can't get enough of that warm spot around your neck.

Hope everyone has a great week! And be sure to look forward to next week, for at the end of the week, the kittens will be ready for their Forever Loving New Homes!!!

Starting week number FOUR

As cute at they are, they grow very fast. Here the kittens are at week four. Georgia is already yawning while Redd and Pixie are just about to doze...how nice it must be to catnap during the day!!


Other goings on in the Dahl Household include Hagrid, pictured below, trying to escape...AGAIN!! This poor crab has managed so many failed attempts at escaping that it's not even funny anymore. And there Fluffy is cheering him on....nice.




Sam and I had a nice few moments on the couch. I was petting my boy and he almost fell asleep. He's our middle feline, and so, so sweet. We love him very much.

Now back to the kittens, Here Georgia is hanging her head. I have noticed that she is the only one to "prop" her head up when she sleeps. It's so cute but it has been hard to get a picture of her actually doing it. Finally the moment presented itself!

FREE BIRD!!!!! Here Redd is running as fast as his little kitten feet would carry him. He's very adorable and has started learning the litter box. He's a smart little dude.

Sweet Pixie is just...well, SWEET! She's tiny and beautiful and loves to roam around the living room, especially when Emmett is about. Emmett loves to groom and Pixie loves to be groomed!


Speaking of Emmett, this would be the "kinder, gentler" side of him. HAHAHAHA..he did manage NOT to break or destroy anything in the house this week so I guess that is a good thing!


Hope everyone has a great week and is getting ready for Halloween!!!

Growing up Kitty

This week the kittens have begun teething, they are getting bigger and more mobile. They still like to sleep a lot though.


Also this week I began decorating for the fall time. I got my dining room finished and Tim put Halloween lights up for me on the front door. I'm not usually a "fall time" person, but the weather has been perfect and that ever so slight chill in the air has me in the mood for autumn.


Here the kittens are busy with their full time job of cat napping.


Emmett is so good with them, he loves to groom them and take care of them. Which is quite unusual since he's a hand fed cat, (hand fed by yours truly)...


Here Tim is putting my Halloween lights up....Emmett is trying to escape there at the bottom of the picture...still a very bad kitty :)

And we have success....
While Tim was putting the lights out on the back deck, Maverick decided to take a rare moment to himself outside. Here he is wanting back into the house, how sad....


And of course here Maverick is doing what he does best. Sleeping.


Hope everyone has a great week!!

Growing up is hard to do....

Well, the kittens are growing fast, and boy are they cute!! We give them time to run around and build up those little kitty muscles is their legs. Looks like one or two of them are doing pretty good climbing up on Tim!



The little boy liked to climb up on me. He's so cute and fat...guess his foster mommy is feeding him well!! :) Of course when the kittens are out, the other cats like to see what is going on. Here Emmett is checking out the babies...

Tim is so good with them. He even helps me "poop" and "pee" the kittens. Hopefully in a couple of weeks they will be ready to learn about the litter box!! I know I will be ready for that.




They got so big, that I decided to make the big move to the garden tub in our master bath. We filled it with plenty of warm towels and all their toys. They seem to be able to move about pretty well and were sleeping soundly at last check...



Not to be outdone with attention, Emmett decided to let his presence be known. It was an absolutely beautiful day (after all this rain) so we let the cats out on the deck. Emmett did his level best to get my attention...AND HE DID !!!!!! Look at this mess!

And just look at this sorrowful face....ummm humm.....bad kitty!

Of course my precious Maverick never does anything wrong. Here he is about to go to sleep in Tim's chair...he's my baby boy!!



Hope every one has a great, and dry, week! Until next time...as the kittens grow...
