Meet Gracie

Today, Grammy was out and about with Abby, Amanda, and Aidan. As they made their way down Kirkwood Highway, Grammy spotted something small and furry in the middle of the road. With no other cars nearby, she slowed the van and drove over top of it, straddling it with her tires.

Once the van was just past it, Grammy stopped in the middle of the road, lit the hazard lights, and got out to investigate. Sure enough, it was a very young kitten. And it was mostly unhurt but for a small patch of missing fur on her hind leg. She immediately scooped it up and quickly got back in the van.

Once home, it became apparent just how young the wee babe is. This little one should still be nursing. But now, separated from its mother, Grammy has had to take on the role. But its a role she happily accepts.

So, with all that said, meet Gracie.
