On Sunday, we were home for our annual family reunion, which landed on Father's Day this year. My dad came, and as we were walking out to see Bruce (dad hasn't seem him in quite a while), we noticed that a kitten had run under our porch. Dad and I "kitty watched" for several hours, I found some food, and tried to lure it out from its hiding. By the end of the day, my determination and persistence (and a few stealth skills) paid off, and I caught him. I held him, pet him, and calmed him. While doing so, Madison and I noticed something was wrong with his mouth and that he was injured on his side. The more we examined, we realized that his lip had been detached from his gums and wouldn't hold up... his entire bottom jaw was raw gum. From what we've read on Google, we're thinking this kitten was possibly tossed out of a moving car. First thing Monday morning, we took him to the vet for an exam. We refrained from naming him even though he'd already captured our hearts until everything came back clear and we knew we could keep him. The vet stitched his lip up and we brought him home this morning, and as you already know, we've named him Jude. Happy early birthday to me! =)
Some of you have asked how he and Bruce are getting along... Due to Jude's oral surgery, we haven't mixed them yet, but I'll let you know.
In other exciting news, I've opened a small online store for the jewelry that I make. You can access it through the link on the left side of the page! You will also notice that I've added the option for you to subscribe to my blog via e-mail!
