Anna and her friend Aaliyah saved this kitten from almost certain death. They saw it on the road, then a construction worker saved it from the street and put it in a ditch. They asked him to retrieve it for them and brought it to Aaliyah's mom who often helps rescue kittens for the local animal shelter. We baby-sat kitty one weekend. Carolyn's roommate, Rachel, came to see him and decided to keep him forever! (Kitty went back to Aaliyah's house for a couple more weeks to get strong first, but he now lives in Iowa City.) (Rachel and Carolyn won't live together this fall as Carolyn didn't want a 12 month lease, but might live together again if Rachel relocates to the Metro after graduation.)
Yesterday Anna called me on her way home from band camp. She saw a dog in the road. It was really close to our house, so Carolyn and I walked to where she was and we called the number on the collar. It was a neighbor's dog, who had wandered off. I had seen this dog before, but it was dark and he had just gotten a hair cut, so I didn't recognize it. Very sweet pup!
