34 degrees! That’s close. To freezing. It’s the forecasted low for tonight. I really need to remember to get out the faucet guards.
I feel a little sorry for Ash and Willy. Like I have led them to expect more from me than to just leave them outside in the bitter cold. And it’s not even that bitter yet - not close to breaking out the winter coat. But it is rough.
I feel even more sorry for the little grey, beyond having to endure the weather. This is the first time we have had a lone kitten. True, she has her mother, and that is certainly better than being entirely alone. But she looks so sad running and pouncing all by herself. Burstyn cannot really play with her, and it’s not nearly the same as having siblings that you can chase and wrestle hard and just share growing up with and learning about the world and how to climb together.
In truth, though, in spite of all these feelings, I’d just as soon they all left. And that includes Ash and Willy. If I had the money, I might go ahead and take them in as pets. But short of that, I’d just as soon not be bothered by these feelings of what they are going through, when there isn’t anything I can do about it. And, moreover, if I had to have a pet, I’d rather have another dog. What I truly want, of course, is simply to be left alone. Though, i wouldn't mind a little, bosomy blonde.
