Our Special Friends

I hate cats!

This is what I said before Oreo came into our lives. Two years ago, Little Joe purchased a kitten for Inger for her 7th birthday. From just a local pet store. But he is one special cat that makes our lives happy, especially, Inger's.

And now, because we were duped to think all cats are Oreo, we have Snickerdoodles too. Snicks is now one and was raised from one day old by Inger. She bottle fed him and had to mimic a mother cat in many ways. Lots of you tube videos were watched about how to stimulate a baby kitten to use the bathroom. (I bet you didn't know a mother cat licks a baby kittens...you know what...to stimulate them to pee.) Sorry for all the extra info.

So on this 39 degree morning here in Florida, please enjoy these photos of our special cats...and dog...and hens...and parakeets. So thankful for my little Inger who loves animals.

Misc and Prayer

The Puebla Ponderosa has been crazy lately. Crazy, as in, a new kitten trying to get along with the dog and the new kitten becoming very friendly with the birds. Hopefully, very soon, we will all be one happy family. Oreo, the new kitten, was an early birthday gift from "Little Joe" to "Inger". She is delighted. "Cochise", the dog, not so much.

On another note, we are asking that you would pray for wisdom concerning a decision for our Christmas visit with "Hoss." He continues to do well, having turned a corner, we pray. God really used my visit out there, along with his broken hand, to humble him and (hopefully) make him more dependent on him. Could you please keep me in your prayers, too? I struggle with anxiety concerning this boy-man of mine. I know (with my head) God is in control. It takes a while for my heart to follow. I love him with all my heart.
