Awwwwwwww!
Dog "fosters" kittens.
I wonder if the kittens will pick up any canine traits?
I feel a little odd using this icon, as the cutie scrimbling in it is the family dog Lucy, who died last week. She was a mad beastie who did a great job of picking a second husband for my mother, and my stepfather always says he fell for Lucy (where there was much mutual adoration and tummy-tickling) before he fell for my mother (where there's lovebirdiness of a slightly different type). It was a very tough decision for my parents, as she wasn't actually dying, unlike when they've put previous dogs to sleep. She was 16, deaf, blind, and the dementia had simply got too bad to let her go on suffering, the poor little thing. My mother's had Yorkshire terriers for forty years and it's so strange to think of her without a dog now.
In other news, I am having a really bad patch with the ME, so apologies to anyone I've ignored on instant messenger, it's mostly because I'm too exhausted to sit at the computer and type, and mostly can't really read anyway at the moment. At least I finally have a good doctor and social worker.
