Spring has Sprung

And in a blessed way. Our Pound Momma had her babies this morning . She let me be with her to watch her kids as they were born and after 3 hours and 5 wiggly wee ones later , she was ready for a drink and a rest. I can relate for sure as most women can.
Its been rough lately , with so many abandoned dogs and cats incoming . But this miracle came just in time to remind be why I do this rescue stuff. I am certainly angry with Momma`s ex-owner for throwing her away right when she needed that owner the most .
And I continue to wish that people would have the good sense to have their companions sterilized . There will always be plenty of kittens and puppies for those who want them. So there is no worry about running out . It would be grand if vets could lower their rates so the average family could afford vetting for Spot and Puff, which would help the cause to some extent but there will always be those weirdos that want their animals to have "just one litter" and then they sell them for profit instead of putting the money into vet care for that fur family member.
Today was a good one in that all five babies seem healthy and Mom didnt get into trouble when birthing, as some first time Moms do .
One more good thing. Nemo went to his new forever family and he has two little dogs for company.
The sun shone. I saw a robin in the snow. It was warm. Wendy`s tulips are peaking up out of the dirt. And every animal in this house is shedding.
Yup, its spring alright.
Wendy? She`s the lady that runs Cranberry Kennels. I was over there today picking up another female kitty. And I dont think she is pregnant. Cute though.
So, the house is full to bursting with cats and kittens .
My puppies are coming home tomorrow and I thank God and our vet for that.
Things are moving along with the group and we have Paypal up and running if there is anyone that has a few bucks to spare.
Its been a good day.
