ScOuT ^-^

This weekend was one of the longest weekends i have had in a while. Not only was I stacked with homework, but I got a new addition to the family. Friday after school I was out with a friend and my dad called me around 4. He told me he had a present for me. I knew it was an animal or some sort because thats the only time he ever "had a present for me". So I asked him what it was and he said a baby kitten. He had been at work in Cannon Falls and heard a sqwaking noice coming from the corner of my uncle's shop. My dad went to go investigate and found 4 dead kittens and one alive one. He knew the mom wasnt coming back so he knew he had to do something. Therefore he put the little guy in a box with a blanket and brought him home to his daughter who adores kittens. So i get home and I was amazed at how tiny this guy was.He looked like a mouse. I instantly fell in love with this 2 day old baby kitten.He was all black with white paws and a strip of white across his pudgy face. I had to feed him by hand warm milk. He took it pretty well. Every hour I had to feed him. He was the noisiest kitty ever. I had to work early the next morning so i tried to get some sleep and failed miserably. Then after my 8 hour shift i came home to an energetic kitten crawling around. I had to work the next morning (sunday) at 4 which technically meant 3 because of the spring time change. Thank god my step sister asked if i would like her to take the little guy for the night. I said yes! i got plenty of sleep that night, worked my 10 hour shift and then came home.

My sister texted me and said she was going to drop my little Scout off. she also said he wasnt very loud or active at all. She got home and i saw him and almost cried. He was so skinny. He couldnt breath or lay straight. He kept falling to the side.. he began to get stiff. and then i watched him take one final breath and then nothing.... scout died in my hands and I couldnt help but be sad. That I got so attached to this kitten, and then he just died. But at the same time i was happy because i knew that because of me he lived 2 more days than he would have at the shop.
