Happy Birthday


Stella and I took the two orphan kittens to the vet this morning for their first round of shots. I knew there was a carnival set up down the road so we left early and stopped there first. Today was Stella's third birthday. There were some great vintage rides there, a Paratrooper, a Loop (which looks like a very young Kamikaze) and a Tempest. It was too early for corn dogs so we took a few pictures and kept moving. Thanks again to the Dickson Carnival Company for letting us cruise around on the midway when they weren't even open.

It's like the National Geographic Channel around here. Another turtle showed up in the yard yesterday, Whiskey Nick and Cowboy weren't at Petsmart forty-eight hours before they both got adopted. Stella and I went to see them this afternoon (I'm really glad we did that). When we took the little ones in to the vet, it seemed to take forever and just the moment I was beginning to get annoyed, a couple came in with their dog and the doctor took them ahead of us. Thankfully, I didn't have any place to be and wasn't really in a hurry because when they came out, there was a lot of crying and no dog. I felt terrible for them and Stella did too. It was the only move she made the whole time we were there and she did it simply to sit next to the girl who felt awful. Good dog. More later.

Happy Birthday Stella :)

Also, the most interesting thing happened this morning.. My boss came into work with the picture of a kitten she adopted yesterday - turns out she adopted Cowboy! I recognized the picture :)

That's fantastic. I'm always happy to know they'll be cared for. Tell your boss that foster mom says congratulations and many thanks. And thanks for the birthday wishes too!

Such great news about the kittens! And I love how Stella got to pose in the carnival rides--must have made her birthday that much better.
