Cuddly Kittens!

Well, today was a VERY exciting day.  Since it was the first day of summer vacation I had big plans.  Like sleeping in until noon and being as lazy as possible. But I was surprised to find my foster cat Mercedes delivering her kittens!  

It took nearly all day, but she successfully delivered 5 gorgeous kittens!    

Mercedes has been a wonderful mom!  Despite all the hardships she's overcome, like having been hit by a car and having a wrongfully healed back leg. . .she's so happy, purry, and just downright amazing all the time.

Here is a video of her kittens the first afternoon after they were born:
And here is a video of the kittens 28 days old:
*Notice how the mostly gray one (that looks like her mama) is basically saying, "I wan't nothing to do with this."

It's going to be really hard to bring this cuties back after their foster time is up.  They all act like their mama- which is absolute purrfection!  

More updates to come!

It's Soup-er Fruit-astic!

Chicken:  Bo and I decided that we'd like to get into better shape and improve our health.  

Bo:  Since being gym-bos isn't a viable option (see Blog-er-size) we decided a combination of a healthy diet and home exercise would be the best way to go.

Chicken: So have decided for the next month we will give up ALL fried foods.  That means no french fries, no fried onion rings, and 

Bo: No Crab Rangoon!  My only weakness!!!!

Chicken: That's right.  No Crab Rangoon or sweet and sour chicken.  But, we are NOT giving up soda; we are just going to significantly reduce our soda intake.  I'm going down to 1 diet coke a day.

Bo:  I'm going to exercise 3 times a week.
Chicken:  I'm going to exercise at least 30 minutes 4 times a week.

Bo:  We made a trip to the store and picked up a bunch of fresh healthy foods.   I put out a bunch of healthy fruits for easy to snack locations.  This is not a diet- it's a healthy eating challenge!

Chicken:  We are doing this for 1 month.  So on July 15th we will do a big weigh in and blog the results.

Until then, the B.A.C.S.F.A.Y.C.E.R.N.B.B.B.W.U.W.L.L.G.C. is on!
