Otter Is Here!

Sorry it has been a while, but I have been slightly preoccupied the past week. On Saturday, June 9th we welcomed our newest family member. Otter was born at 11:56a weighing in at a whopping 8lbs 5ozs and 22 1/4 inches long! I never thought I would see the day that I would have a 8 pound baby! She is absolutely gorgeous and has a head full of hair. She is very much a momma's girl right now. We were discharged from the hospital with everything looking good for both of us.


Wednesday I took her in for her followup check-in at the Dr. office. They checked her and everything was good (weight loss was almost a pound, but she was eating like a pig!) They also checked her bilirubin levels. Well, they were quite high, so they sent us to Children's Hospital for the "industrial" light treatments. After two nights in the hospital her levels had come down enough for us to come home. So now we are home and she is doing well, or as well as a week old baby does!

How Much Do You Love Cats?

I was shocked when I learned that I was not the cat lover I thought I was! I was shown a link for this new amazing cat that was going to be so extraordinary it would amaze me (the cat pictured to the side is not it!). It has been specially bred to have the exotic feel of a leopard with it's spots, but it is a very tame cat for a regular household. It is even said to be easily taught to walk on a leash! Who would not want one of these amazing cats? (other than Joe! ;) ) Well, you will soon learn why even I would never want to try to obtain one of these amazing wonders of modern science. There is a 9-12 month delivery time (or for an extra fee you can reduce that by 4-6 months). That is not the biggest turn off for these wonderful cats, no that would be the exorbitant price for the privilege of owning one. Get this, you must pay a small fortune of $22,000 for one highly intelligent house cat that would awe your friends and family! If you think that this cat, called an Ashera, is for you here is a link for you: Lifestyle Pets
