Gearing up

Not nearly the production quality of "Endless Love" but still kinda funny. Check out Bush and Blair: Gay Bar

Okay girls - let's give it our best shot. How well do you do peeing standing up? After a few beers, it's get tough! Uh- hang on, I'll be right back... Ah, much better. Speaking of beer...

Labatt Blue [my Canadian beer of choice] has some great little spots Cheers. To Friends

And that's what we'll be doing this weekend...

Company is-a comin'! I'm so psyched! It will be a full house with the 5[6] regular cats, four baby kittens and our two best friends but I am so looking forward to hanging with my buds pool side, a case or two or three of beer and some yummy BBQ courtesy of the one and only incredible Chef OddGirl and her lovely girl who are also coming into town this weekend (though not staying here, unfortunately... no room at the inn!) I hope I'm up to task because goddamn summabitch...

I'm so exhausted. This kitten thing is wearing us down. The late night feedings are screwing us both up. It's not easy. All four are eating well and are active and healthy. The whole "elimination" issue is another story. I won't go into great detail, suffice to say that #2 is not happening as often as it should and when it does - stand back. I got up this morning to feed them and found that two of them had done their business in the night and everyone in there decided it was time to celebrate. It's a party! N-A-S-T-Y crap everywhere! (okay, so that's a lot of detail, sorry) They all had baths and are now fed and sleeping like angels. Shit flinging, poo rolling, high pitched whining little fucking angels.

I know... Patience is a virtue and all that but I get frustrated sometimes, I'm human. Then I look into their eyes. And I melt. It's so hard but so rewarding. We hopefully have found a home for one, maybe two so far. And they are a few days, maybe a week from weaning. Once that happens, all will be right again in the world. Until then, I sit here and wonder in awe of how [human] parents cope. There's no way in hell I could ever do this with a child. You can't just give children away for a nominal fee once they're eating solid food. Though I bet some parents wish they could. That reminds me... I've gotta call my mom and tell her thank you!

I'm sorry you've been all screwed up with the kittens. yes parents do feel like that at times. but just like you and the kittens... you look in their eyes (or hear what they say) and just melt. As for the peeing standing up thing (if ya don't know what exactly i'm talking about ask bigSimon and he will point ya to the thing that tells about it).. that is just crazy... though I'm sure there are some guys who would love to see us with our hands down there!

Give children away for a nominal fee? Hell, there are some days I would PAY to have someone take my child for awhile. In fact, sometimes I do. I love my teenage niece. :) Just be glad the little boogers can't talk.
