Our little ones are 10 weeks old. Their first week at home was challenging as they came to us with pretty significant GI issues, but the shelter felt they would do better in a home, so we took them anyway. We've had a week of vet visits (one each, including an all-nighter), round-the-clock meds, and sleepless nights. But also lots of rambunctiousness and snuggles. They have wonderful temperaments, very confident and social, not skittish or shy at all. In the last week, we've had a chance to get to know their personalities a little better. Butterfly (above) is our little bulldozer. Just wants to play as hard as she can, whenever she can, with whatever she can find. Marigold is our thinker/explorer. You can see her mind working, figuring things out. She learns to do something, and then Butterfly watches her and learns to do it, too. They are a handful, but they are such good babies. Our main focus right now is getting them completely healthy and getting them fattened up.
So I'm taking care of babies 24/7 and not much else (including stitching). They spent the day at the shelter yesterday getting some extra care and testing, and I spent the day cooking and cleaning and doing laundry like an espresso-fueled squirrel, trying to catch up. My blog will probably be mostly baby pics for a while, until we get their issues sorted out, because that's literally all that's going on around here.
Thank you again for all your kind words about Tiger Lily, and for your sweet welcomes to our new girls.
Butterfly and Magnolia, cute names!! Love the long hair coming out of their ears. They are beautiful. Sorry they are having GI troubles but ,with your care, that will clear up soon.

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear your sweet babies haven't been feeling well. I hope they make a speedy recovery. They're so pretty and look like tons of fun.
ReplyDeleteBring on the baby pictures! These two are just adorable. My first girl was a stubborn, feisty tortie and Butterfly looks a lot like her. Hope the babies are feeling better soon and I can't wait to hear more about them.
