New additions

Lily keeps adding to our family.
This is "Po", our kitten. He is one of the four kittens born to our cat "Punches". The other 3 siblings were adopted by my mom( thank you very much), Lily's friend, Lily #2 (see Lily 1 and Lily 2 post) and Stephanie, who works at the veterinary clinic.
I am not an animal person, although I have learned that I'm very tolerant of them. As of today, our family has a dog, 2 cats, 3 donkeys, a hamster and 8, make that 7 polliwogs.


These are the polliwogs.( AKA tadpoles)
About 2 weeks ago, Lily captured these interesting creatures in a stream and brought them home to live with us. There were 8 but now we have only 7. Sadly, we noticed that the one that morphed into a full fledged frog is missing. Lily spent hours building this deluxe tadpole home only to have that ungrateful resident jump into the cold cruel world to go it alone. (Too bad for him. We wish him luck.) For the others,we keep marvelling at this evolutionary process. Every day we see the little legs grow then the arms and eventually their tails shrink down to nothing. They become frogs. It's cool.
