Hi Everybody,

I have bad news! I can't make it tomorrow. I have a 6 week old male kitten I named Spike that I took home from the shelter today.

The woman who runs the nursery asked me if I would consider fostering him till he gained weight. He's VERY thin, tiny, doesn't eat alot (although he does eat on his own) and has diarrhea real bad. Kathy needed a break (she was taking him home at night). He's now in a carrier with a heating pad. I've been pumping him with Pepto Bismal to stop the diarrhea and Pedialite for dehydration. Because the shelter is closed till Tuesday, he's with me for the duration. If the diarrhea keeps up, he'll have to be given subcue fluids.

His sister is also in the nursery and thriving. I have a feeling this little guy is the runt of the litter and might not make it.

So, in the name of rescue, I'm going to have to pass tomorrow. I hope there will be another Pet Talk reunion in a couple of months (maybe in July when my daughter is here for a visit??)

Have a great time everybody. Please take lots of pictures, give tons of smooches to all the pooches and think of me. I hope you guys understand.
