I got this email this morning...chelle sent it at 3:30 am (even after I told her how insidious Baby Watching was :wink2: )

Hey Shelagh. The babies ate up the Ensure/baby cereal mix like there's no tomorrow, they went nuts for it, popcorning everywhere! They're so freaking cute!!

 

[ryelle]

hehee bless her

 

[sausage4ever]

They're so freaking cute!! I see they're loving that kleenex box!!

:heart: :heart: :heart:
chelle, hubby, I just wanna say WELCOME to the world of rescuing! You're officially in now guys!!!
:happydance: :happydance: :happydance:

How infuriating :redhot: Those babies are no way more then 3 weeks old, they are smaller then the 3 week old litter I took in last year. This is unbelievable. I say skip the police and call child protective services ASAP. That is very clearly not a safe situation that ANY child should be in. Chances are he is using more then just alcohol and pot, esp. if he couldn't speak and was just staring at the wall. That poor little girl. PLEASE call CPS ASAP.

Chelle you are AWESOME!!! :heart:

 

[sausage4ever]

The babes are actually older than three weeks for sure and like Jo said most likely four weeks, they're eyes are fully open and they have nice shaggy baby fur.

So glad you guys finally got these babies! :happydance:

I feel horrible for the little boy left behind, but I know there was nothing you could do.

 

[Dahlas]

:heart: poor babies.....so sad to think of all the unlucky ones, mom, baby boy etc........but concentrate on the ones that you saved. You guys all are amazing..... :hugs:

 

[henry's_mum]

any pics of my boy?
:cheeky:

 

[lilspaz68]

He is the 2nd pic I am pretty sure

 

[xxchelle]

More pictures because, like Shelagh told y'all, I was up all night watching the babies. Got to bed around 5. Hahaha.

Tonight I'm going to try to get individual pictures of each of their markings, dangly pics, etc. They dangle surprisingly well!

Lynds, I *think* your boy is the beige hoodie on top of everyone in this picture, the one closest to the larger girl.

 

[lilspaz68]

Eeegggh little bundles of cuteness!!! :heart: :heart:

 

[henry's_mum]

awww, they are ADORABLE!
and bless that wee girl, she looks like she's taken mama's place for those wee babies...
:heart:
Her name should be Grace, as in 'saving Grace' that's what she is....
:heart: :heart: :heart:

 

[ryelle]

Awww big sis has taken over as mum

I like Grace too

 

[xxchelle]

Yeah, except they keep trying to nurse from big sis, and it's just a little heartbreaking.

 

[lilspaz68]

Her name can totally be Grace...you okay with that Chelle?

She looks like a worried teenager trying to take care of her new extended family, working at the local grocery store, trying to keep Children's Aid at bay. :heart:

Awww, Chelle you might want to reconsider that milk formula...try your grocery store instead.

I am sure these wee ones are 3 weeks not 4. I'll show you why.

Oh and don't forget that Ontario rescues (or maybe just local ratmills around here) produce narrower heads all the time and it just keeps getting worse. So the babies pointy heads cannot be used to age them.

Dilbert at 3 weeks

Imagine a pointy head on him (Dilbert had a nice wide head) notice the fluffy fur, the funny little body, potbelly, etc

Almost 4 weeks

4.5 weeks
