Babies, babies everywhere


This is Sophie.  She is one of Maggie's kittens.  Tanner was so excited that his cat had kittens and the kids finally convinced me that we needed to keep some of them.  Unfortunately all of them look exactly the same as Maggie, so we will have 4 gray tabbies.
Sophie really loves sitting with Madsion
The puppies are now 8 weeks old.  Runt left with her new family on Saturday and the rest ended up inside the house this morning because of a storm.  

You may be wondering why a storm would cause all the puppies to be in the house.  Well their grandfather Tank really hates storms.  Last night there was a storm and when we got back from church Tank was tied on the porch post (neighbor must have found him and tied him there).

I decided to let him there till morning and deal with him then...he really is a big baby when it comes to storms.  So when I woke up in the morning bright and early at 6am I heard all kinds of crashing and banging.  I forgot Tank was on the porch and there was another storm.  Then I made the mistake of opening the front door to deal with him.  He promptly cam in the house and cowered in the closet.  Because he was still attached to the cable I couldn't close the door. 

Next thing I know all the puppies were in the house along with Holly Houdini and one of the chickens and we couldn't keep them out until we could tie Tank out with another cable (this one was knotted on the porch post).  So I went to town and bought a really strong chain while the girls got the lamb and chicken out of the house...we let the puppies inside, you just need to pick your battles sometimes and that was one we would have lost. 

Now Tank is back out by the shed and the puppies are back outside.  But they did really enjoy their little vacation on the living room floor.
