    Yeah, it's pretty much the same here! I just saw that a lot of the smoke in The Tri-Cities is from fires in Oregon, but there are plenty of fires in all 3 states to keep us quite smoky for a while! I saw that the fire near Stoneridge was 74% contained as of yesterday, but there are 2 more in...

    I shared this information & told him the doe usually licks them clean & asked him if he was ready to help those babies get things moving...he didn't think I was as funny as I thought I was...:gig Waiting to hear if the kits have full tummies. Thank you again for your help!

    I just spoke with my husband, he will be separating the larger kits & bringing them in the house overnight, to give the smaller ones a chance to eat. I told him to make sure he made their bed with Daphne's fur! He said none of them looked very wrinkly earlier, so there is hope!

    Those are pretty terrifying too, but usually over faster than an out of control fire! I don't even know where all of the fires are! We also get smoke from fires up in Canada!

    It is so smoky today! I'm at my son's and the smoke is super thick. Our place is 3.5 hours away and my husband said that it's the same there, you can see the smoke hanging in the yard & absolutely no wind! We love the days when we don't have wind, but not when there is smoke involved! I think...

    My husband doesn't have the material to build the extra nesting box, but he said that all of the kits are looking pretty good today! Town & supplies are an hour away, so it probably won't happen today. I'm encouraged that they all seem to be doing good!

    I'll have my husband check! I'm taking care of our grandbaby! I do know that they've had full bellies in the morning...I just don't know if she feeds them a second time. I'll have him separate them & then we will alternate nesting boxes! 💞

    The hard part will be figuring out when she feeds them! :)

    I really don't know how often she's feeding them! If twice that would work great! I'll try to figure it out! Thank you!

    I'm at my son's house watching the baby while my DIL is at work & my son is at my house working on his Jeep with his older brother! My husband & youngest son are in charge of keeping the kits alive...13 is too many for Daphne to feed properly. I have some mini nipples on order, but they won't...

    Wow, you guys had quite the adventure! I'll have to tell my son in law about that trail, he would love it! I did see that there are fires near Stoneridge and was hoping that you were far enough away to not be affected. I'm glad to hear that they got your power back on quickly & you all are...

    First Kindle is a Labor Day Special of 13 kits!

    I'm going to try the eye dropper again today with warmer formula. She was very grumpy with me yesterday & I'm afraid if I force her on her back again she will get really ticked, I'll do it if I have to, but I'm hoping the warmer formula will make a difference! Thank you so much!
