I had been planning to get Dharma spayed after we get back from New Orleans. However I noticed this past week or two that she looked a little, um, broad? I was hoping she was just fat but this morning she presented us with five kittens (plus one that didn’t make it). Along with Tillie’s…
Mother love…
Isn’t that just the sweetest thing ever?
Have you ever seen the rain…
