Kitten Names!


I think you all know about the stray cat who had kittens in my horse hay.  I'm down to mamma cat and two kittens that I think I'm going to keep.  I've mentioned before that I named the mom Emerald (Emi for short) because of her gorgeous green eyes.  Now I think I have names for the two kittens I'm keeping (like I need five cats ugh!).

Emi stretching.  She's so small for a full grown cat.

So introducing....

Smokey, the female that looks like Gray Kitty.
Smokey is named after my mom's first cat.

and...

Pharaoh, the only male kitten in the litter.
This is my new favorite photo!!!! I LOVE it!

I chose his name because I wanted something Eqyptian, he has huge ears like a Pharaoh hound and also because I love American Pharoah, the racehorse who won the Triple Crown.  :D

I was so sick of not having good pictures of the kittens (and goats) because I can't get close enough with my cell phone without disturbing their play (or scaring them off in the case of the goats), so I borrowed mom's camera.  I have missed having a camera SO MUCH!!!!!  Seriously I would sell a kidney for a camera right now!  Check out all of the pictures I got!

When I walked outside this is how I found them... they need to be weaned lol.

 Pharaoh watched me, but isn't afraid. 

 Smokey is much more skittish and starts to slink away.

She eventually gets used to me again (everyday...) and relaxes, but she's definitely shyer.

 Are they not just too adorable???


I love these next three.

 Stretch....

 .... streeeeeetttttcccccchhhh.......

 Pounce!

Want to know why he's attacking the rake?

 Because Smokey is behind it lounging in a shovel lol. 

 They are both wary sometimes.

 Stopping for a quick scratch break.

 He thought playing with the cactus was a good idea... he figured out his mistake quickly.

 The sunlight in this shot show how unique his markings are.  He's so gorgeous!

 I started talking and he turned around to meow at me... melts...

 Cute little Buddha belly hehe. 

 He is so cute I can't stand it! 

 I love the back lighting in these.

Then he spotted Jackal LOL!!  They don't like the dogs.

Aren't they adorable?  I'm so glad I finally have pictures because they grow out of this stage so quickly and I want to remember it.  I hope you enjoyed them!  Also I added them to the sidebar and the Other Pets page at the top of the blog.  :)

Jackal Puppy Pictures

Does anyone remember how freaking adorable Jackal was as a puppy???  Soaked from playing in his pool.  He loved Frisbee!  OMG soaked Jackal puppy straight out of the bath!!  He LOVED his pool!  He loves going fishing with us.  Adorable just isn't a strong enough word!!  Those ears!  Sleeping on hubby's chest.  Catching toads out of the pool the ducks made nasty lol.  Spoiled rotten!  Sitting by the wood stove to stay warm.  Seriously spoiled!!    If I was on the couch he was piled up on, next to or behind me (like above).    Rotten and he knows it.  Just because I can't get enough below are some of my favorite pictures of Jackal over the years.  I was cleaning my horse tack and he wouldn't move... so cute!  That was a fun walk down memory lane.  I need to get some current pictures of him.  I've been so bad about not taking pictures lately...

Garden Update

 Our first pumpkin from the garden!!! It is 24.6 pounds!  It is a Yellow of Paris pumpkin so it's not supposed to be orange.  Isn't it awesome?? The garden has done so well.  I'm so pleased with it.  I've lost count of everything, but we've gotten at least 38 acorn squash, 12 butternut squash, around 20 spaghetti squash, a bunch of yellow squash, cucumbers and zucchini,  as well as miscellaneous other squash.  We've gotten a tomato, a bunch of okra, two watermelons and four eggplants.  That's only the beginning.  There will be a lot more to come. Check out these pictures. See the acorn squash that was eaten on?  That's from Scuff, our resident box turtle.... Luckily he decided he's not really a fan of them because he hasn't eaten any others, but he LOVES cucumbers.  Did I ever tell you guys the story about Scuff and how he got his name?  I got in my car back in April to head to work.  As I was backing out of my parking spo...

Day 2 With Amethyst

Gambar
To my surprise Coral didn't get up when we went in. Coral and Amethyst are doing great! I'm still going to do a post to show a video of her labor and birth, but I'm having to figure out how to convert some files, so it will have to wait.  I'll just share pictures and video from today with Amethyst.  Your baby is not a pillow hehe. Coral is still tired, but they are both doing great.  I LOVE watching Amethyst play and explore.  I forgot how much fun goat kids are.  I LOVE her racing stripes on her ears. We gave them the first day alone together to bond, but today it was time to start socializing Amethyst so she doesn't end up feral like her mom.  Coral doesn't like it, humans still stress her out, but she didn't fight us.  She just watched closely and talked under her breath to her baby.  Hubby giving Amethyst a cuddle.   Ammy doesn't like being held, but she quickly gives up struggling.  She will get used to it.  I couldn't tell rig...
