Catch up one story at a time

It's been forever, so I will start tonight with one update. That would be that a stork has placed two baby's on our doorstep (or trailer) and deemed us their new family. And when I say baby's I mean baby kittens. Yes, cute, adorable, white baby kittens. They were so little that they just barely had their eyes open which means they were 10 days to two weeks old. The mamma had moved them into our trailer one day and Blake was getting it ready for a job when he found them. He had to take the trailer to work so the kittens were removed. I put them in a box and would leave them outside hoping the mom would come back. I brought them in at night and would feed them by syringe. Well, the mom came walking right passed our back door when I had them inside so I grabbed them and opened the door but the mom bolted over the fence. I raced to the wooded fence and hold up a kitten as it was meowing hoping the mom would hear it and come back. To my surprise I heard the mom hissing at me so as I was pulling the kitten back over the fence she jumped up on the fence right were I was and jumped right back down because I was RIGHT there. I put the kittens down and walked away. I waited there for a few minutes but alas no mom coming to rescue her babies. So I went back over there to put them back in the box to stay warm when the hissing started again. I quickly went away and left them there the rest of the afternoon but no such luck, I scared her off. So they are now probably about 8 weeks old and I had to bottle feed them for about a month. They are now littered trained and eating solid food. They were too cute to give away. Kaden claimed one his from the beginning and named it Dot because of the brown dot on its head. He would always and say where is the dotted one that's mine. Blake and I named the other one pearl because he is all white except for his tail. That one is also a mutant because he has a sixth claw between the thumb and pointer paws. So it looks like he has a huge thumb that sticks out on the side instead of a normal paw. So here are pictures of them and that is my update on the kittens. More stories and adventure to come.
