oh my, I have broken my granddaughters' hearts.  Now I am heart broken too. 

I allowed Princess and Jennifer and Bandit and Roman to all be adopted.  I know they have gone to good homes.  They have.  They will be loved and petted and given their shots and fattened up.

Oh, and maybe treated for fleas.

But I feel awful!  I betrayed my granddaughters' trust in their Nana. 

I swear, the next time, they each will get the pick of the litter. 

Smoky hid and refused to be adopted.  So I will keep Smoky as a peace offering to my granddaughters.  I know Smoky isn't the one they really wanted.  I know that.  But Smoky might help ease the pain, just a little. 

Smoky.  You better hurry up and learn to purr! 

 

 

 

Do NOT try this at home

The ticks are bad this year, I hear.  Probably due to all the rain we have been getting.  If you find a tick embedded in you or your family member, remember to run get the antibacterial hand sanitizer.  A co-worker saw this method in action.  Cover the tic with the antibacterial stuff and the tick will pull out -- it backs itself out, head and all.  Then flush it or burn it.  Whatever. 

Do not, I beg you, do NOT use Himself's method of tick removal.  Himself singes the tick with cigarette lighter or igniter until the tick lets go and falls off.  Then he boils it.  He heats it up.

Until his own blood boils and the tick explodes. 

It is something you don't ever need to see.  Or want to see. 

I promise.
