There are new kittens in the neighborhood. Uncle Ronnie and Aunt Jess have two adorable fuzzy kittens, and Natalie can't get enough of them. Ben hasn't mastered the art of the slow approach, so he and the kittens seem to have mutually agreed to keep one another at a safe distance.
Today we decided to pay the kittens a visit. Nat collected the first one from the barn. On her way out with the second, she had a funny look on her face and then started screaming. I noticed right away she was holding her foot up, and when I got to her saw two nails through the bottom of her shoe. It should be noted that she was still holding the cat!
I took the cat, picked her up so she'd stop putting her foot down, and got her shoe off. It was hard to tell the damage, but it was bleeding so we headed for home to administer first aid. Luckily the nail did not go straight in, got her at an angle so it's not too deep. Pediatrician didn't need to see her. A few Band-Aids later and we were back in business!
Giving her foot a check up
After the immediate trauma was under control, we headed back for a proper visit.
Ben was along too, but didn't want a picture. He was more interested in checking out the growing soybean plants. These kids are putting the hard press on for a dog or cat. It's getting harder to say no...
