OMG, Kira is the sweetest.

OMG, Kira is the sweetest. Oreo got up to eat, went to see her, then laid back down. Then she came over and tucked him in. He's going back to sleep.

😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️



Pardon the doggy bits, but...

Pardon the doggy bits, but I believe he's starting to feel comfortable. 😂😂😂



Shaun ain't right, but I love him. 😂😂😂

Look who's clean-ish and not necessarily thrilled about it. 😂😂😂

I used my goat-milk bar soap on him (because that's all I have with me and I wasn't planning to wash him here). It didn't really help his smell, but I'm sure it was gentle on his skin and we got some major dirt off. Didn't spot any live fleas, thank goodness.

He only tried to get out of the tub a few times. He mostly did well. Even let me pick him up and put him in there.


Bonus pic:  Me trying to coax him into the bathroom. He was mid-chew and just stopped and stared like "Can't you see I'm busy?" 😂😂😂 He might be a funny one.


Sorry, not sorry: Another Oreo post.

Sorry, not sorry:  Another Oreo post.

Ever since yesterday when he goes outside he scratches his belly with his back feet. Like, a lot. For minutes at a time, one side and then the other. I looked, but didn't see anything wrong. I'll get a closer look when I bathe him. I wonder if he's allergic to something...

Also, I noticed that he prefers wet food over kibble and often drops food from his mouth. I didn't get a good look at all of his teeth, but did notice right off that he's got a broken canine on the bottom. I bet that hurts and  is probably a contributing factor to him being so skinny. 🙁

He's got double dew claws on the back and they dangle when he walks. I just find that amusing. 😂

I checked on him earlier today because I heard him whine, but he didn't need food or water or want to go outside. So I sat down and petted him. After a few minutes, he changed position and laid down with his head against my leg. That's the first time he's initiated contact with me. Progress. ❤️

Toebean (our orange kitty) had oral surgery today.

Toebean (our orange kitty) had oral surgery today. He just got home and looks happy to be there. I bet he feels a ton better. We've had this appointment booked for so long and it sucked that he had to wait, but I'm just thankful it's done. ❤️

Would anyone be up for meeting me...

Would anyone be up for meeting me at Tractor Supply or Pickette's after 6 and helping me wash Oreo? I doubt he's ever been bathed and I don't know how he might react.

He's not aggressive so far. Just a bit shy / skittish.

I can send money for your gas and / or time.
