Just the bestest of mamas.

My Sable was the best mother ever, I "m sure. Because she had been so malnourished, she only had 1 kitten so she devoted all her attention toward him. If he so much as squeaked, she’d run over and lie down so he could eat. She didn’t wean him for almost 3 months (which probably explains why he’s so fucking spoiled now; it’s his mother’s fault, totally not mine).

A dog is lying beside me with his head pressed hard into my thigh. Even more than his fur, I feel his heat and the hardness of his skull. I would take a picture, but that means getting up for my phone, and that means a dog’s head would no longer be against my thigh, so you can see how I can’t help you.

She really wanted some attention this morning so went behind the monitors.

OMG THIS IS A DOG PARK, AUNT YOU BROUGHT ME TO A DOG PARK.

@junipersky

And now he is a happy retired service dog. Brother will miss him, but Levi was ready to just be a dog.

FIRST EYEBALL SIGHTING

@junipersky Mamacat is watching VERY CLOSELY.

The Captains went back to the shelter.

I console myself with tiny li’l baby yawns.

Miss Mouse only allowed pets of her babies for a minute before sticking her head in the way to say “enough please.”

Baby name: Jasmine

The cat who won’t leave my shoulder alone…

My snow dog is not enjoying the scorched English savannah right now.

I’m not sure why that photo came out with a lens flare. I didn’t do it on purpose, so I think it’s her natural radiance emanating them wherever she goes.

She is, however, remarkably well camouflaged for this weather. As you can see, in this picture she’s completely disappeared. I bet you can’t even see her now.

I hope Boots (Chai) giving his mother a kiss while pretending to be a hat makes you feel a tiny bit better.

EVERY BIT OF THEIR HAPPINESS IS DISPLAYED IN MUCUS AND DROOL.

wow and you act like this is not how many humans also react to emotions

Braum is both gross and absolutely perfect. I hold these truths in my heart

[Duke Whisky]

She wanted attention, I wanted DbD.

A tax must be paid.

For Monday as needed.

[junipersky]

I’m sad but my foster kittens make it a little better.

Chai (aka Boots)

Earl Gray

Jasmine (poor baby had had a rough week between a hernia and weight loss, but she is on the upswing now!)

Matcha

[junipersky]

All my last fosters except mama Miss Mouse are back at the shelter.

I was very sad for 3 full days.

I am happy again.

Tenitive names are Parchment & Papyrus.

That said, names are still being decided.

So we lost one of our rats this weekend. One of a pair of brothers, he was sweet but didn’t like to be picked up. Sadly I can’t find any pictures of him but in honor of all our rats, I’m posting one of our OG pocket puppies. My rats were the stepping stone that started the climb out of some serious depression in 2017, their lives are short but just like anything else, time doesn’t really dictate how impactful someone can be, pet or human or whatever.

Mort the Rat!

(It won’t let me link the gif, @Tez what am I doing wrong???)
