    It was nice of him! He's a nice guy though. :)
    They have a dog who isn't long for this earth.
    She's 17 years old, part Border Collie, and has already had one large cancerous tumor removed.
    The vet said he thought he got all of it, but there were no guarantees.
    He said she's only eating about every 2nd or 3rd day, and that she'll eat her whole bowl, and keeps it down, but then won't eat again for a day or two.
    I saw her today when I was there. She's sooooo skinny.
    But she's friendly, and gets around fine.
    He said she doesn't show any signs of being in pain at all.
    The only thing that's different is her appetite.
    She belongs to his dad, and he knows that he will be lost when she goes, although he knows it's coming.
    His dad has suggested getting another pet to help keep him busy when she goes, so I guess two is better than one.

    He called later this afternoon to check on the kitties and his dad said they'd already found places to hide from the dog, and the little one had already managed to get up on his recliner. :laugh:

    We had stopped at Dollar General and the guy I work with got a litter box, litter, two different kinds of food, and three different toys. :laugh:
    When we dropped the kitties off, he set the litter box up first thing, and as soon as he put it down, the little grey one went over hopped up in it, dug a whole and pooped. :lol:
    Of course it had the runs. :facepalm:
    Later we heard a different guy at work had given them Chicken McNuggets...

    He didn't know that one of the salesmen that lives nearby had run home and got some of their cat food and had fed them.

    So yeah, they got dumped at a good place.
    I was nervous though, I was hoping we'd find homes quickly...I really didn't want two kitties. :unsure:
    Someday I'd like to have a kitty, just not right now.
    Oh, I hate to see the life of a beloved animal coming to an end but it happens to anyone that keeps a pet :(

    Sounds like the little gray one is going to keep dad entertained ;)

    Good night lurkers [emoji4]

    Kudos lori to you and your co-worker for saving the kitties [emoji4] Sounds like they got a really good home. Look to be in pretty good shape too to be abandoned like that.

    Turning in soon. Working tomorrow tho I really don't feel like it. My voice sounds horrible from coughing. Did a phone interview earlier today with a prospective new rescue volunteer (foster mom) and it was embarrassing. Lol

    Well, y'all have a great night [emoji4][emoji99]

    There is a reason those two kitties were dumped where you'd find them. :)

    It's 37 here. Brrrr! I threw another blanket on the bed.

    Kiddo scored a goal :D I'm so glad I was able to see it. He also received compliments from his coaches for good teamwork and using the skills he's been taught.

    Timmy Ho's or Horton's is what I call Tim Horton's. (Canadian coffee chain, Tim Horton played for the Buffalo Sabres in the early 70's) Rival to Dunkin Donut round these parts. They are serving special hot chocolates this season. Salted Caramel, White and Classic hot choc. Yum!

    I'm ready to snooze. Sweet dreams everyone. :wub:
