TV is exciting!!

Smudgy can't resist a good tv show.  Wilferd* gets her really moving and video games are super exciting to her. 



The most recent adventure for Smudgy was getting spayed.  Man, I tell you what, free cats sure are expensive.  It took us a lot of phone calls to find a place in Corvallis to get her spayed for under $300 and most places were $500.  Between that and shots, this kitten has cost us a small fortune.  Unfortunately, it means we will never take a "free" kitten again...instead adopt for the local rescue.  And, if you find kittens, the Humane Society or another rescue of some sorts is really the best place for them as you can guarantee they will not breed again since they spay them before adopting them out.  I LOVE Smudgy, but she has been quite a lesson learner for us.  I could afford to get her spayed; but for many that type of cost is really out of the budget.
We finally found "All Creatures Great and Small"  Their prices were great and they did a good job on the spay.  We were sad we were unable to go to our amazing vet in Albany, but the drive is just getting to  be too much for us.  The only negative I have to say about All Creatures... is, they are the only vet I've ever been to that doesn't follow up over the phone after a major surgery and they were supposed to call me on a few questions I asked them about future visits with all the critters and it's been almost 2 weeks.  So, I think our search continues for a new vet.  Thinking of looking into one that comes to the home next.  Wrangling 4 cats and 2 dogs to for shots is exhausting!
A few days after surgery. Internal stitches are great!!
 Now that she is spayed, we can start our outdoor adventures soon.  We'll have videos of that very soon.
