Hike on Huckle- I mean, Heckletooth

We started getting a bit cabin feverish staying inside at home with Neshi all week as it poured rain outside so we finally took the chance of getting soaked and headed to the hills. In the trees the rain wasn't so bad and everything is luscious and green.

Huck did a lot of hiking on the trail and ended up crashing out on Mac's shoulders at the end.

Update

Neshi is doing much better now. He goes in to get the feeding tube removed tomorrow and we;ll get a full report on his healing process.

As for our Huckster- he's up and walking around, yes, walking. He says 'hi' and waves and does other ingenious things a 10 month old impresses his mother with.

We had a short but playful dinner visit from Athena and Coleman and their father. At 18 months they have a lot to teach our Huck. He's trying his best to keep up.

Our Poor Kitten

I have some bad news about Neshi.

The day Huck and I returned from Michigan and Mac from his big bike ride Neshi was very injured. He made it home and we found him under the bed the next morning.

We waited to see how he was doing not knowing what had happened or how badly he was hurt but he only got worse. It turns out he was shot in the face and the bullet exited his neck. His jaw had exploded and pieces were lodged along the bullet's path.

He had surgery today and is expected to recover in about a month but he will not have a left lower jaw, apparently cats can make due without it. He will be fed with a feeding tube for a couple weeks and then he will learn to chew with his right side.

Please think healing thoughts for our Neshi and hopefully he will be out doing Neshi things soon.
