In other news, I haven't been up to much. Housework, taking care of my pets, making whatever money I can because the house we are renting is being sold (they are waiting for approval on a loan so we don't know exactly when we have to move).

A little over a month ago, we adopted/rescued a kitten. one night, while on our way to a date, we heard a cat meowing. We pretty much always stop to pet a cat whenever we see one and I realized when I heard it that it was very young. As we came closer, the fact the young kitten was completely alone out there was obvious. No sign of a person. No sign of a mommy-cat. We moved it from behind the tire of a care into a more secluded, safe area and we decided while eating dinner if that kitten was still there while we were on our way home, we would be taking it home with us. We both had anxiety about it, realizing how young it was and that a baby like that was completely helpless and would most likely wind up dead without help.

I am glad we made that choice because, upon further inspection, the severity of the baby cats' condition was apparent and we were scared he would die on us any minute. It's first bath had blood, fur just came right off, its tail appeared to have been broken and cut or bit off, and it's anus stuck out a good 1/2 inch from it's body and leaked puss. It was caked in its own shit. The kitten was skin and bones, covered in ringworm, had a terrible infection. After buying it high quality kitten food infused with beef broth to fatten it up as quickly as possible,treating the hell out of it with anti-fungal cream, and giving it antibiotics, 5 weeks later, Dib is almost completely 100% recovered. Dib is the sweetest kitten I have ever met. Having been starved for affection and closeness to other creatures, Dib is a total cuddler (last night both my dog Puddles and Dib came under the covers with me, cuddling both each other as well as me) and my dog and Dib have taken a liking to one another. They are best friends. Every time I turn around, they are playing, bathing one another, or snuggling. It was love at first sight. At first, we were just going to nurse Dib back to health (big shout out to my friend Bri, animal expert extraordinaire, for all the advice) and then try to find a loving home for him, but both us as well as the dog and our cat Lestat fell in love with Dib, so now this little kitten, whom we have put so much work into, is the newest member of our fuzzy family.

As a side note, we named it Dib because one night, Dib was on top of the fridge and I looked up to him and said, "Why is his head so big?" (Invader Zim quote) because Dibs head was huge when we first found him and Cody said, "What was that characters' name?" "Dib." "We should call him Dib!" so that is what we call the kitten.

I think of rescuing this wonderful creature as one of the greatest acts of our lives. I am filled with warmth and pride when I look over at the fluffy little grey and white kitten snuggled with my dog and I think of how if we had decided not to bring him home that night, he would have died by morning. That he started out mostly bald, cold, alone, bleeding, leaking puss, and skeletal and now he is a normal little kitten, full of life and excitement and joy, surrounded with people and animals who love him, as a baby should be, not out there alone and scared and hurting.  I have had my doubts about fate. I am an atheist and a skeptic, but that night fate brought us together with Dib and I am so glad it did. It's been A TON of work, but it's definitely been worth the hassle and the money. I am so thankful for animals, especially my furry companions. They are my best friends and I admire their innocence and ignorance about all the ugly things in the world that people are so aware of. I have a special place in my heart for the fuzzy ones ^.^
