Abandoned Kitten

Monday we were over at Rick and Cathy's house finishing up our canning. We canned apple pie filling and applesauce this time. Mason ended the evening by getting his first big bonker! He fell and he met the glider chair with his forehead and left eye! It immediately turned purple and swelled. He was a tough guy though! Putting the ice on his head was probably more traumatic than anything. I, on the other hand, had a bit of a hard time since it was his first big injury. I know it is the first of many though! The swelling went down by the next day and now we just get to watch the color changes!

The other exciting thing that happened this last weekend was finding an abandoned kitten. Clemens ran off and Mason and I were chasing after him. We heard a noise coming from a pile of leaves in our driveway. Underneath all of the leaves was this tiny kitten. I watched for several hours trying to find any hint of mom. The kitten was really hungry so, we took him in. A vet check revealed that he is only three weeks old and 8 ounces! He is full of vigor though and eats well. I will bottle feed him for another few weeks and then try to find him a home. The last thing we need is another pet! Although, Sydney seems to think that this kitten is her baby.
