Finding a Baby Humming Bird!

So today when I got back to my friend's house (staying with my friend temporarily), I discovered her holding this little guy. Today when she was taking out the garbage, she found him on the ground and stayed with him for a while. Although the mother did come back, she unfortunately abandoned the poor thing!

(Sorry it is so dark! I will try to post a better picture later.)

So he is now snuggled up and warm inside of a box with tissues until the morning when we can take him to a bird sanctuary. My friend wants to keep him but sadly, especially as a baby, it will need a lot of nutrients and things we cannot provide if he hopes to be able to fly and live outside.

Interesting things we discovered today:

1. It is actually a myth that if you pick up a baby animal and get your scent on it the mother will not want it any more. 
2. If you find a baby bird, or animal before even thinking about keeping it, you will want to take that animal to the appropriate veterinary care facility to see if they need treatment or medical care. In the case of my little friend, he still can't fly, and if he continues to try without the nutrients he needs his bones wont develop correctly and could easily break something.
3. Contact said local sanctuary or veterinary office to find out the correct steps you should take to care for the animal until you can get them over there.
4. Treat them with care and love. If they lost their parents or were abandoned they are probably incredibly scared.

Hope you enjoyed and please keep this little guy in your thoughts and hope that he develops into a strong adult birdy!

WPC and an Update

Hey everyone out there in the blogsphere, hope your weekends are going well! Sorry I haven't been posting for the past couple days/been awol, been insanely busy.

Over the past two weeks my sister and I switched rooms so we had to clean her room (which looked like a tornado went through it) and all of my stuff out of my room, this whole process took all week! And then we had to move all of our stuff into our new rooms.

And then yesterday we took the kittens to the vet for the first time, got  them de-flea'd, de-wormed, got their first set of vaccinations and now they are much happier kittens to say the least. Also, we are all enjoying my new room :)

Plus, yesterday my aunt and I had kind of a duel birthday celebration since here birthday was the 4th and mine is the 11th. We went to go see Maleficent, which was AWESOME!!! Review coming soon!

Here are some update pictures on the two little cuties:

Hope you all have a good weekend <3 Kimmie

WPC: Max

Hey guys, since I already covered all the pets I own, I wanted to show you some of the pets my "somewhat-step mom" has...

This is Max, he is some kind of pitbull and he is fairly young, I think only about a year. For a while he was blind because of the way his eye lids developed the lashes would scratch his eyes if he opened them (don't know all the details). But they got it fixed and he is a happy loving dog and when I was up visiting my dad and Des for Thanksgiving I woke up to Max in my bed. It was pretty fun.

Have a good week <3 Kimmie

Weekly Pet Challenge, Part 1: Lemi!

Just for fun I wanted to participate in this pet challenge. So for the next couple weeks, who knows how long, I will be posting random pictures of my animals with a little post about them. After that I may continue just posting random pictures but who knows.

So I thought I would start with the animal I got first, my dog Lemi.

We adopted Lemi Winks from my mom's work friend who couldn't have her anymore because Lemi hated her husband. We have now had Lemi for about 7 years.

She is kinda annoying sometimes because she likes to yip ALOT and is sometimes one of the worst trained dogs, but I still love her all the same. So here are some cute pictures of her:
