Tater's "Food Haus"

Because Hobbs is on a weight-loss diet and Tater's a slower eater, we had to come up with a way for them to eat together without constant monitoring. After watching this video, I came up with this makeshift solution... (Hobbs' food bowl is up on the piano.) Pretty low-budget, but it works! Tater's growing so fast he barely fits in this opening anymore, Lol. Anyway, I'm grateful for the idea!

First Cuddle

After many harrowing (yes, harrowing) days of Hobbs exerting his dominance over the newcomer (baby Tater) -- we experienced a miracle...

A cuddle.

And friendship, maybe?

We honestly weren't prepared for the rough kitty play-fighting / biting / wrestling that ensued once they got to spend time together. We thought Hobbs was going to kill Tater! Thank God for the internet and our vet that assured us this was normal kitty behavior.

There might have been other cuddles, but this was the first one I saw (on about day 10 of Tater's adoption).
We've noticed now that Tater is OFTEN the instigator, and they seem to LOVE tangling with each other.
THANK GOD! And go figure...

An amazing scripture in Job 12:7 says,
“Just ask the animals, and they will teach you.
Ask the birds of the sky, and they will tell you."
•
Mac's been quite a "therapy bunny" for us, and we're learning much from him --
about unconditional love, trust, and having a positive expectation of good.
•
We adopted a new family member last week!
His shelter name was "Tater Bug" and we renamed him "Purr-Tater".
He's about 4 1/2 months old and a bundle of energy and love.
He's quite a confident, fearless fellow and hopefully his
transition into our home will be a success! Stay tuned...

Mac and Hobbs preparing for Winter Storm Stella...

Encouragement from the Word!
Part of today's One Year Bible Blog reading:

PSALM 56:1-13
1 O God, have mercy on me,
    for people are hounding me.
    My foes attack me all day long.
2 I am constantly hounded by those who slander me,
    and many are boldly attacking me.
3 But when I am afraid,
    I will put my trust in you.
4 I praise God for what he has promised.
    I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
    What can mere mortals do to me?
5 They are always twisting what I say;
    they spend their days plotting to harm me.
6 They come together to spy on me--
    watching my every step, eager to kill me.
7 Don’t let them get away with their wickedness;
    in your anger, O God, bring them down.
8 You keep track of all my sorrows.
    You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
    You have recorded each one in your book.
9 My enemies will retreat when I call to you for help.
    This I know: God is on my side!
10 I praise God for what he has promised;
    yes, I praise the Lord for what he has promised.
11 I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
    What can mere mortals do to me?
12 I will fulfill my vows to you, O God,
    and will offer a sacrifice of thanks for your help.
13 For you have rescued me from death;
    you have kept my feet from slipping.
So now I can walk in your presence, O God,
    in your life-giving light.
