Mike left yesterday with is childhood friend Jack. They are right now in Canada headed for Alaska where he will be reuniting with his boys and going on some fishing trips and float trips. He lived there 30 years, and jack wants to see one of everything there- not possible, but Mike does know some incredible places (if they aren’t ruined yet by commercialism). We left Alaska 20 years ago, right after Walmart announced they were coming into the neighborhood.
This will more than likely be his last road trip and I know they are going to have a fun time. I told him they have to catch a lot of fish and also bring home king crab!
I went on an adoption run with Athena this morning, but the home was a grand disappointment. Although nothing was mentioned about kids- the woman has 12 kids between her and her boyfriend ranging from the age of 8 months to 19 years old. None of these kids were gentle when it came to Athena and her 7 year old decided Athena would make a good rag mop and he spun her around the kitchen floor several times while everyone laughed. I had gone to use the restroom but when I came back and saw those antics, we just packed up and left. It will be a few days before Athena will get back to her normal state- GRRR
All ten black kittes are doing well. Soot is on her final week of medicine and all the kitties are now eating canned kitten food. This is the quickest I have ever transitioned kittens over to solid food- but nothing else seemed to be working.
I hope you are able to get in some “ME” time while Mike is away. OMG she should have told you there were kids, I mean how could it escaper her mind when there are so darn many of them. Glad they didn’t get many minutes alone with her, seems like one was to much. Poor girl, trauma to both of you. Better luck next time.
Some families just behave like trash. It shows what respect they have for life in general; and those children will grow up learning that behaviour. Well, we keep safe whom we can. Athena will find a decent home soon enough.
