A Tale of Three Tails

I told you yesterday that I had a crazy week... well, here's my story. :)

Tuesday morning I was working around the house, minding my own business... laundry etc... I walked into our bedroom and saw something (besides laundry...) on the floor. My first thought was "how did a worm get in here?" Then I saw the head! A Snake! After screaming, I started looking about wildly for something to put over it. My (empty) coffee mug was kind of small so I grabbed the next best thing - one of my glass domes. I then proceeded to have a meltdown while calling Mark, Dad and Mom (in that order). Dad came over and killed it for me. Whew!! Thanks again, Dad! :)

Tuesday evening, I got the chance to repay Dad, as his truck wouldn't start and he needed a ride home from work. Later, that evening Mark came inside from spreading "Snake Away" around the house, he said that there was a cat stuck in our tree outside. Of course, I had to go look. :) It was a kitten that someone had dropped off, and his brother wasn't too far away. Poor things!

I brought them inside and made a safe temporary home in our old pet taxi. (They were so glad to be in a secure spot.) They were a little wild, but by Wednesday night they had calmed quite a bit and I had even got both their purrs going. :)

Dad put out an email at his office and one of his coworkers decided to adopt them. (There was no way I could keep them... I have no good place for them, and some of our frequent guests are allergic.) But I enjoyed being a foster mom for a little while, for the most part. I am glad they have a good home! :)

Well, I hope you've enjoyed my little tale. :) The ending is better than the beginning - but that's what makes a good story, right? :) I hope you have a great weekend!! (free of all unwanted tails!)
