A Seal of Approval from Skeet

We've had one child home for a week, the other came a few days later, and now we're running into the beginning of weaning season. By the time we finish with that, it'll be the end of October. One day at a time. Right now, I'm just soaking in the little things:


Our boy rescued a litter of kittens behind his workplace a few weeks ago and a friend of his who works at the VFW offered to take them in and find them homes. One of those tiny babies now lives with our boy. Meet Bud (aka:Buddy)


So sweet seeing this tiny kitten bond with our 6'2" son:


The head of ranch security was on the job:


And Bud was given the seal of approval:

                                         

And a friendship begins:

       

Honestly, he is the best dog ever:


He's got a heart of gold:


Bud's now officially part of the family and later today, when our girl arrives, it'll be pure bedlam with critters hither and yon and I wouldn't have it any other way!

    Awwww, how sweet Karin! So glad the animals get along. And I'm glad you had some visitors too. How are you doing? How's the knee?

    CUTENESS!! What a great kid to sweep in and rescue little kittens! And that little Skeet is just adorable with the kitten. Hope all's going good with the knee.

    Oh, how precious!! Skeet is such a good dog to be nice to the kitty. I can see why your son adopted Bud, the kitty tilts his head back just so and looks up, just adorable!

    It seems that Skeet could use a kitten of his own too. :-)

    Who said real men don't like cats. Those are the sweetest pictures. Enjoy the visitors (the two legged and the four legged kind). ;^)

    What could be cuter than a kitten meeting a huge dog (in comparison) who is gentle and accepting? Sweet Skeet and an adorable kitten.
