Hey there everyone Well on the weekend we found some kittens, well my great dane Brutis found them. There mom had them inside his dog house and he wasn't exactly sure what the heck they were. Saddly I think he thought at first that they were toys and played with one. He didn't kill it, but just ripped its delicate skin. SO needless to say that one had to be put down. But I did rescue the other 3 kittens and they are being bottle fed and are around 3 weeks of age. I got them all weighed and they are all 8oz even. Which is a great weight and the vet says they are all very healthy and should all grow up to be healthy cats. I was looking up on things about orphaned kittens and they can just suddenly die also. Like SIDS in human baby's. I found that very interesting. (SIDS = sudden infant death syndrome) Here are some photos of them. They are quite the characters to, very cute and very funny to watch. The weakest of the kittens trying to get some sleep And the strongist of the kittens

And here is the nasty Brutis himself, He's really a sweet guy! He really did feel bad about hurting one of the kittens, he was barking trying to tell someone that something was in there, but my bf didn't listen. If he wanted to hurt the kitten he obviously could have killed it and ate it in two bites. And a new picture of Brutis and his mum! Brutis was just diagnosed with arthritis, so were not sure how many more years he will be able to live with it comfortably. He is only seven but for an extra large dog, that is like being 70 years old. I really hope that day never comes, Brutis is like my son. I haven't met a person yet who didn't like hanging out with him
