So sweet, such chunky little guys. You might have to share pictures every day for awhile. :-)

These puppies are living sweetness, portable love in small furry, warm bodies.
Thank you for sharing these photos.

I hope they have that factory-fresh new puppy smell. So adorable!
WaterGirl, I wonder do you still have the picture of Orion I sent a while back? I could happily resend. Thx

Those round baby bellies…

I’m getting, not a kitten, but a cat tomorrow!
Loki has been so sad since his life-long buddy died two months ago, and so lonely. He lost a lot of weight (almost a third of his body weight), but he’s gained most of it back now, and seems to be on the mend. The only thing wrong now is that, when we go to bed, there’s no one to play with. So he walks around the house singing his play song, and no one answers, and no one ambushes him around a corner. Something had to change. I went to the local last chance rescue, and they have a very friendly, very playful one-year-old who really seems to like other cats (I watched him draw out an old guy who is scared of cats and people but warmed up to Artie). We’ve set up an isolation room, and we’re bringing him home tomorrow. I really hope this is the solution to everyone’s problems and hopes, all around.

@KayInMD (formerly Kay (not the front-pager)):
Just heartbreaking, so glad he is going to have a new friend.
WaterGirl
@NutmegAgain: I did find that just now! thanks.

When I looked at the first picture, I thought they were seals!

@WaterGirl: Oh man, that line brought me to tears. I must have needed a trigger, and ya never know what its gonna be. Poor baby, glad he’s getting a new buddy
Joy in FL
@KayInMD (formerly Kay (not the front-pager)): I hope everybody is happy, especially Loki, with the new cat. Good luck : )
KayInMD (formerly Kay (not the front-pager))
@WaterGirl: I never knew a cat could grieve like this. And Loki is 13 going on 2, a real kitten at heart. I really hope this one year old little guy works his magic. I really think he will.

@scribbler:
Thanks to all for good wishes. I’m anxious and excited after a really hard two months. Well, 2 1/2 counting Reilly’s final illness.
zhena gogolia
@KayInMD (formerly Kay (not the front-pager)): Yes, they defiitely grieve. Good luck to you!
Jackie
@WereBear:
My exact reaction 🥰
Jackie
@KayInMD (formerly Kay (not the front-pager)): Please keep us updated! I so hope Loki accepts a new buddy – once they get through the hissing/spitting/growling and swatting at each other ritual!

Need more cats.
NutmegAgain
@KayInMD (formerly Kay (not the front-pager)): Keep us posted? A sad pet is a tough thing. Best wishes they get along smashingly.

@KayInMD (formerly Kay (not the front-pager)): cats definitely grieve. We got Asimov so Heisenberg could have a buddy after his brother Schrodinger died. Then Heisenberg died and we got Cygnus so Asimov could have a buddy. This attempt is ongoing, but we’re hopeful.

@WaterGirl: 5 pups. These are the brown ones.
The other two are very hard to photograph. Effectively tubes of black. Really really really black.

@zhena gogolia: move like seals now too
MagdaInBlack
@Ferd of the Nort: Is that one of the black “tubes” in the first picture? ❤️
Ferd of the Nort

Black tubes incoming!
Submitted post for tomorrow with more plus details

@Ferd of the Nort: They’re so cute!
WaterGirl
@Ferd of the Nort: Throw a white blanket or a light-colored towel into the frame, that helps a lot.

To the BJ jackals (in general) Don’t give up. You can do this. I wish I could help.
