SAD CAT STORY warning kleenex maybe needed(for me)

When we moved into this house we are living in now there was a wild mam ma cat who had been left here by one of the other ranch workers. No one was feeding her and when we got here she was awful looking. She also had a litter of sickly looking kittens. They were all so wild, but me being the animal lover that I am started feeding her. She started looking better and eventually moved her self and her two remaining kittens under our house. I had no problem with it but Patrick being the cat hating man that he is was not thrilled with the situation.



I contemplated and worried on a daily basis what I was going to do with this wild cat situation. I am one who is always been all for getting your animals spayed and neutered. I even took our neighbors cat and all her kittens to get them fixed when we lived in South Dakota then gave her back half the kittens at no charge. They weren't wild though so it was much easier. I contemplated and worried for too long though because mam ma cat had another pile of kittens under the house this time since they were all getting fed well they all did fine one of her older kittens also had a kitten. So I found myself in a disheartening situation. I now had nine wild cats living under my house, and mam ma cat and her older kitten were pregnant again. I could not figure out what to do. No local no kill shelters would take wild cats and if I took them to the pound they would gas them immediately. So once again mam ma cat and her older kitten had kittens. This time mam ma cat had, I don't even know how many and her kitten had at least four. Oh my stinkin poop I have a problem.
In December PAtrick the boys and I went to Tn. for an early Christmas.
As soon as we returned home from Tn. I called for my cats only one barely peaked his head out from under the house. I thought that's weird even though they are wild they would always come out when I call. At that moment I new something was wrong. I went in and asked Patrick if he had someone come kill my cat's while we were gone. He said no and that he did not know what happened to my cats. It was late so we went ahead and went to bed I figured they would all be there in the AM. The next morning I got up went out to call my cats again this time I had food. Two cats came out, I new something had gone down. Some kind of hit on my cats had been accomplished. I once again asked Patrick if he new what happened to my cats. He said NO. Patrick went on to work and I proceeded to call my cats to no avail only three came out this time. When Patrick came home for lunch I trapped him. I asked him "so how did they kill my cats" his face changed and I knew he knew. He said that while we were gone in TN our neighbor called and said "I can fix your cat problem as long as her house cat is in the house". Patrick told him the house cat was in the house and the light was green.
I could not believe it my eyes weld up with tears. At first I was mad at Patrick how could he do this, And then lie to me for a whole day. Then I realized it was not Patrick's fault he has given me plenty of time to do something about the cats. Then I was mad at the neighbor for being gun happy and offering to do it for Patrick. Then I was mad at no one except myself I should have gotten the cats fixed earlier before they had these kittens.
I have forgiven Patrick and the neighbor. Some how some way our neighbor was able to kill six of them and destroy the evidence all in a days time. He is good that is for sure.
Now we have four of the older kittens left two female and two male that I am going to trap and get fixed this month because I found a place that will deal with wild cats. We also had six of the little kittens left and I was able to find homes for three of them and still have three left. I plan on just getting them fixed to because they are wild and probably won't make good pets.

Let's all pretend that these picture's are of high quality and meticulously placed precisely on the previous post. Let's pretend that these picture's play out a poetic addition to the recipe. Let's just pretend that each one of these picture's along with the word's of the recipe magically flow together as if they were a perfect rendition of a Baxter Black poem.

Let's stop pretending for a minute and add the last ingredient that I wonderfully forgot to add to the recipe post.

Don't try this at home!!

I have a bit of adult on set acne on my chinny chin chin. I 've tried lots of different products to no avail. Doctors would say it is a hormone problem or something but, they don't know what they are talking about. My hormones are just fine no problems here perfectly balanced and happy. Now excuse me for a moment I am feeling a little hormonal and need to go cry.

I am back, aren't you glad. I have found a few products that work pretty good and they are natural and not tested on animals. My favorite of all times is called a Blemish Stick from Dessert Essence. It like totally works dude. It is tea tree oil and is amazing. My favorite face wash is Mint Julep Natural facial scrud ( what is scrud?) It is like taking a big glod(what is my problem have I forgotten what a B is) of sand and rubbing it all over your face. So refreshing and elegant. And last but not least is and anti aging cream by JASON called Tea Time it is so amazing I definitely look like I am 18 again.

Now I don't have sensitive skin at all so some of these products may be a little harsh for certain skin types.

Another thing I like to do to help keep my flare ups flared down is once a week do a vinegar chemical peel. I use apple cider vinegar straight from the bottle but, the "normal" directions for this homemade chemical peel is to dilute it 1 part vinegar to 5 parts water. I wash my little face with my Mint Julep then I use a Mint julep mask by queen Helene. I leave the mask on till dry and rinse really good! I then apply my vinegar with toilet paper all over my face. Make sure if you are going to try this dilute it the first few times before going insane with vinegar like me cause I have tough leather like skin. Rinse vinegar off with cold water to close pours and feel refreshed. DO NOT, I SAY DO NOT use your Jasons tea time lotion on a freshly vinegary face because your face will catch on fire like a blazing wild fire and all your little face creatures will be fleeing for there lives from this raging inferno. TRUST ME I KNOW.

All these products can be found at local health food stores.


My skin is healing fine from the raging inferno if any one was concerned

In the steady gaze of the horse shines a silent eloquence that speaks of love, loyalty, strength and courage. It is the window that reveals to us how willing is his spirit, how generous his heart.

Randomnessy

This morning we had cheerios for breakfast! Last night I did not cook dinner! The boys had popcorn and bologna. I don't remember what Patrick ate. My cat is currently sleeping on my desk and snoring. Patrick is out checking cows I should do laundry but I don't think I will. It is a beautiful muddy wet mess outside. I saturated my good tennis shoes with mud last night when I was feeding the horses. I will probably not wear them for weeks because I will not want to clean them. I had movies that were due back two weeks ago that I returned to the gas station last night. We won't be renting movies for awhile since they probably want our first born. I love to can fruits and veggies and can't wait til spring so I can start. I just knocked my cup o' joe off onto the carpet in my room. I should clean it right now, but instead I will continue with my randomnessy. My kids love to play in our hay barn it is a huge maze for them.

Today we are going to go shoe some horses. We were not able to go to church because Patrick did not get done checking cows in time. Since now it is mucky and muddy we are probably going to have sick calves to tend to over the next week or until it cools down again. We have no plans for super bowl no one loves us. Currently Dustin is leading Cason around with his lariat rope and Cason is barking. Dustin was just mad at me and told me he does not like me anymore. Then he told me he loves me only if I will turn him on a cartoon. I did not turn on the cartoon and I think he still loves me. I need to go feed bottle calves. I should clean up my coffee stain. Maybe I should go do laundry or dishes.

Oh Iam too tired. I shall go watch the news and drink my new cup O' joe
