Leo's Sick Too

Here is Leo's new favorite spot. We had to take him to the Dr on Thursday night. He had a huge open wound on his leg. We almost have the whole family on medicine. Tiffany , Molly and Reese are the only healthy ones right now. :) This guy has some major pain medicine too. We'll Leo has been turned into a house cat until his leg is better. He misses being outside, even if it's only for 10 minutes. Yeah, you can tell he's suffering from being inside.:)
Yeah, this may gross you out. He had such a big whole in his leg they had to put a drain in. This comes out on Tuesday.
It's official! We have a cat we are keeping! This guy has cost us lots of money.:)

I took this picture earlier in the week and couldn't resist had to put it on too. Reese is very good around the kids. Here is her story.

Reese's mommy had left her when she was born. I found Ree in the shed corner with her umbilical cord rapped around it's foot. She was very cold and dirty. I cut the umbilical cord warmed her up and made the mommy feed her. The mommy kept feeding her and her sister I also found. Tegan and the kids visited Ree all the time. The kitten would let Tegan carry it around by the neck. So she has always been a good kitten. She does not scratch or bite the kids. She likes the torment they put her through.:) The holding, chasing her around to be the first to hold her. She even let's Tiffany give her stroller rides.
We where going to bring Reese and her sister with us when we moved. Only when we went back to the farm house the other kitten was gone. So Leo is the lucky one who came along.

Poor cat! At least he's in a good home where he'll get lots of attention:)

We're stuck, at least for this morning, at home. The wind has picked up and is blowing lots of snow around in the country! So we'll see what it's like this afternoon. But if nothing else, we'll probably end up outside in the snow. Especially since it is around 14 degrees...a real heat wave!!

Hope you are able to get out and do more shopping! How does Shelby like all the quilt shop? I bet she loves them as much as you do.:)
