(June 2007):
Oh the terrible luck Caleb has with animals...to recap our loss of animals from previous blog entries: first their was the hermit crab (eaten by the cat when Caleb accidentally left the hermit crab out on his bed), next was our hamster (scared to death by the same said cat after he had only been home for 48 hours), then there were the 3 fish (ate by the same cat yet again when we were at Disney World), and last- the poor frogs Caleb caught at his Nana's (and loved a little too hard- think "Of Mice and Men"). Our latest pet catastrophe is one of the kittens that was born out at Nana and Granddaddy's farm a couple of weeks ago.
Caleb's Nana called me last night to tell me that the kitten died this weekend. I couldn't help but laugh when she described the weekend before when she and Caleb thought the cat had died then (somehow he survived another week). Caleb's Nana said Caleb brought the kitten into the house and dumped him on the kitchen table stating he thought he was dead and they needed to bury him. Ever devoted Nana agreed but nearly died herself when she went outside to try and dig a hole to bury the poor thing. For those of you who don't live in KY it's been a good 90 degrees for a while now with little or no rain so the ground is so hard it's damn near impossible to stick a shovel in it (trust me I know...I planted flowers last weekend and could hardly move my arms the next morning). Nana finally got the hole dug when Caleb came over and said, "I think Jesus doesn't want the cat in heaven yet because he (the kitten) has decided to come back alive again". The kitten was indeed alive after all although the poor thing would only live a week. I guess Jesus was ready to play with that kitten in heaven after all.
