this morning

Little Johnny ran a fever through the night, and is still a sick baby this morning. We are feeding him Jello and letting him watch movies on the couch. His first choice was "Over the Hedge".
Mama is praying that no one else catches the cold, and she went to rest for a while while we keep a close eye on the invalid. The poor mom doesn't get much sleep as it is, and having a sick little one is really wearing her out.

Also, we woke up to a neat surprise this morning...
We now have another dog (Although, Daddy says we're not keeping it.).
Her name is Kitten (Josh came up with that one!).
She is already great friends with Jack, our "guard dog" (They would have liked to be more than friends, I think.).
She is sleeping on our front porch (We tied her up because of the kitties, just in case.).
And... she's very sweet and pretty adorable. Kitten has one of the best "sad puppy" looks ever.

Meg and I are going to have a photo shoot with her sometime today, and then we'll probably make posters to hang up around the area advertising that we found a dog. A sweet, lovable, cute, sad-faced dog... named Kitten.

But, we're not keeping her.

Oh, I'm praying for little Johnny today, and his precious family too! Get rest, dearest, even as you care for others.
(Mr. Riefer, good luck with the "we're not keeping it" plan!)

Thanks so much for all the prayers! Baby is feeling much better, but is still a bit cranky. :) We are still trying to find Kitten's owner, but Mama is pretty sure she ran away (maybe from being mistreated). We'll hopefully post pictures of her soon!
