Default I held a bitty

Such a tiny, dainty bitty! To think that some old so-and-so was going
to drown her. she literally called out to some well-meaning but
clueless teenagers, saying if they didn't take the baby, she would
drown it. the kids took her and drove to Petsmart, and ran into one
of the Tenth Chance people setting up for a show. The kids thought
they could keep the tiny thing in abox and toss in dry food. The
volunteer took her and got some formula mixed up. The baby had just
opened her eyes for the first time in the car.

Karen asked if I'd like to try feeding her. Of course I did. Such a
delicate bitty! She wore a tiny tuxedo, open in the front like
Roxie's. She had the tiniest paws, and her ears wee so small they
were two of the littlest points sticking up from her head. She was
wrapped in a dishtowel and Karen showed me how to keep the bitty
sitting straight and how to position the little bottle. I even burped
the bitty and she brought forth a righteous belch that made me proud.
For Karen, she'd sit quietly. For me, she'd wriggle out of that
dishtowel and climb on me, and I'll be dipped if she didn't figure
out where two-leg mammaries are located. knew what they were for,
too, considering the little one bit me there! I'd like to think i was
helping the little one get strong.

Had it been a boy, I'd have called the baby Samson. I wanted a good,
strong name for the dear bitty, whom I've quite fallen in love with
and now offer my prayers to until I know she'll thrive. the shelter
people, some of them anyway, beleive the kitties I name end up
finding fast homes. I called her Juno. Big, strong, heroic looking
women are often called Junoesque, and I'd like to see the bitty get
good and strong. I didn't want to put the baby down. Oy,
motherhood...!

Blessed be,
Baha


Lots of purrs for the bitty.
