We made a video of the cats and kittens we have fostered.

Here is the link!

We live in the Best neighborhood! Our neighbors are awesome. For example on Thursday nights these musicians have a one-hour concert; they have been doing this for months since the pandemic started. They are really good! And handsome!

Here are just some of the people who were enjoying the music.

Friday night was a birthday party for Korben and we had a neighborhood water balloon battle!  It was great!  We came prepared; here I am with our bucket of water balloons.

Ha ha ha it was hilarious! This is some of the people who participated.

OMG the best thing ever happened!  We picked up some foster kittens!  We were waiting for another hospice kitty but the shelter has so many kittens that need foster we decided to take some.  It is a momma cat who is very shy and her 4 kittens. They are about 5 weeks old and are doing great!  They had been at the shelter for about 3 weeks so this was their Best Day Ever being able to run around and play in their own room!

On our bike rides we often pass small farm stands like this one that had apples and flowers!  It is important to support your local small businesses.

We rode on some trails a the James Slavin Conservation area! You can hike there or ride horses or ride a bicycle but no motorized vehicles are allowed.

While we had Dexter we put up a temporary plastic folding accordion door so he could have the whole lower floor to run around in. When we installed it we discovered that a LOT of air flows from upstairs to the air handling unit downstairs so mom drilled a bunch of holes in the door for the air to move. Now that we don’t need it mom said hey we only used it a little while do you think we can return it to the store. Ha ha ha!  I don’t think so.

It is sad news today. Our beloved foster cat Dexter crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Here is a picture of him with his favorite chewed up box and cardboard scratcher.

His asthma was getting very bad and the medicine was not doing as much to help him. He was on a higher dose and he continued to get worse. We had to take him to the emergency vet early one morning and less than a week later he had another very bad episode. It was harder and harder for him to breathe and it was difficult for him to get sleep or even relax. He was a great cat and we will always remember his joyful leaps at sunbeams and how he liked to play in the kitty tunnel.

We already miss him a whole lot. The shelter vet observed Dexter for a couple of days to assess him and monitor his respirations and he was just getting worse so he was humanely euthanized. Mom was there to be with him and pet him during the procedure.

It was very peaceful and he is no longer in pain or distress. Rest In Peace sweet handsome Dexter. Also known as Dexter the Drooler for drooling when he was happy and Dexter the Destroyer for his love of chewing cardboard.
