There’s Someone I’d Like You To Meet
On July 8th our next door neighbor's son asked my husband to come look at something in his backyard. There were 2 kittens, eyes not open yet, umbilical cords still attached, but dry, in a large empty ceramic vase (about 3 feet tall). I estimated they were about two days old. DH told him he should leave them be for now. Most likely momma was moving them to a new location, but if she didn't come back for them soon, we'd take them. When I got home from work, I went to look. They were still there and that glazed ceramic was hot to the touch, in full sun, 100+ degrees. Right or wrong, we decided they should come home with us, which is what the neighbor wanted in the first place. He didn’t want to have to supervise his dog when it was outside. The next day, he found another kitten in the planter and brought that one to us as well. I happened to have a can of powdered milk made for kittens and began feeding them every two hours. Two days later, one of the kittens expired. A couple of days later, another expired. The third kitten is now thriving and is now 22 days old. We had every intention of finding homes for them, but we’ve decided we can’t part with the lone survivor. Meet Jasper, #6 in our family of cats.

Comments (31)Ditto Countrybumpkin. Treat me right I'll treat you better,treat me bad I'll treat you worse. The rest of the time I'll ignore you. Even on sites like this it still applies. When someone tries to put me down or attacks me or makes it clear they don't like me it usually ends up with my back to them. Some vague internet person doesn't affect me one way or the other. If they make it a habit I just write them off. Completely. No congrats, no good wishes,no sympathy for their sorry lives, no response to their posts at all. Ever. UNLESS they directly attack me or my posts again. Then I may respond but then of course they then will run and cry to GW to have my response pulled LOL unlike in real life where they have to own their words and take some responsibility for them....See MoreCan someone I.D this small tree please?

Comments (2)I want to know too! Fwiw, before Google, a botanist at Pearl City at extension service told me it was gumi or goumi, a Japanese ornamental. Now that I search on that name, gumi looks nothing like this plant. Good thing I cut it down and yanked the root from my garden back then!...See MoreCan someone help me I’d this flower
Comments (13)They're really cheap, so treating it like an annual is cool. I always dug mine up and tossed them in paper bags. Eventually they got really big, like wagon wheels, so I'd cut them apart and store the pieces. When I got bored of them, I just let them in to rot back in during winter....See Moredonna_loomis
