Alien creature found on golf course

I know that I usually blog on and on about the dogs and cats that come to visit my clinic.  But I sometimes forget that the people that belong to the dogs and casts are important too.  At least they are to my folks and their helpers.  Somtimes, the humans get really close to one another, almost like one of the pack, especially when the dog or cat has to come here all the time to get pills or pokes or the red syrup taken.  This was the case with Feisty and his mom.  Fiesty got sick last year and after lots of visits and lots of medicines he ended up taking his final sleep.  None of us had seen Feisty's mom since then.  That was until today. 

 So it was a big surprise when she walked in holding a box saying, "You'll never guess what I just found on the golf course."  Which was followed with a chorus of "Awwww' and "Ohhhhhhh" from Sweet Sally, Vocal Vonnie and Dancing Debbie.  "We're going to keep him," said Feisty's mom " we're going to name him Kane."  Vocal Vonnie picked up the tiny creature that didn't look like any kind of animal we normally see here and said, "Oh, Kane you're so cute. But you're covered in fleas so we need to give you a bath right away.  Actually, Mom, maybe you should probably name him Kandi instead of Kane because he's a she!" 

So it was that Kandi came to stay at the clinc for the soap treatment.  I was pretty sure that the tiny creature was not one of my canine brethren and was even more convinced once it got wet.

It sure looked like something from a far off land that I've never seen before.  None of the humans could get over how cute she was, none except mother.  "Kittens at this age just look like aliens to me, they're all ears, bellies and eyeballs"  she said.   "Just in time for Halloween then" Vonnie added.  Vonnie loves Halloween, in that same strange way I love to clean Bea's ears and Brawny Brandon loves anything edible.

I'm glad that Kandi found her way off the golf course and into a great home;  Feisty sure never had any complaints.  And lucky for Kandi, she won't have to wear a silly costume for Halloween, according to mother she's ready to go!
