The weather has turned spring-like in Calgary and we're taking full advantage of it. Sierra and I sat out on the deck today for about an hour. Now this might not seem like a long time for most dogs, but neither of us are really outside dogs. We like to go outside, do our business and then come back inside. I do like to spend sunny afternoons on the patio, but it's not quite that warm yet. Mom said she enjoyed the quiet time in the house and being able to walk from one room to another without needing an escort, or four. Valentine still followed her around. Hey, we just want to make sure that Mom isn't lonely!
Mom says the Fiona's kittens are all doing really well. Yesterday morning Mom went in to check on them and when she went into the room there were no kittens in the kennel! Mom looked around, but didn't see any kittens. Then she noticed that Fiona had made a den using the duvet that was on the bed.
Fiona did a very impressive job. That's a queen size duvet and it was folded on the bed the night before. All four kittens are in there and Fiona has a little tunnel dug all the way to the wall. It was a bit more enclosed but Mom was worried it might collapse when Fiona wasn't in there so she opened it up just a bit.
Fiona was also showing some interest in the top of the kennel so Mom put it back onto the bottom. When Mom went into the room this morning to check on everyone the kittens were back in the kennel. Mom figures that Fiona might have found it too hot in the duvet. It was probably great when the kittens were in there as it preserved the heat she'd given off, but it would have been really warm when Fiona was in there too. This room is already super warm and doesn't need any extra insulation.
They did look pretty cute all snuggled in the duvet together though.
Fiona has been enjoying her time away from the kittens. Valentine is sure happy when she comes out and he has someone to play with. Especially if it's night time. For about the first hour after sunset he is a crazy man. Running all over the house, playing in the tub...Mom isn't sure what all he's doing and is sometimes afraid to look. Nothing ever seems out of place so it's all good.
Sierra thinks there aren't enough pictures being taken of her and people might forget how beautiful she is. She wants to remind everyone that she's still looking for her forever home. She's been adjusting well to having Valentine around and has even gone up and sniffed him a couple of times.
