Ashlyn saves Kronk!

So two Saturdays ago, Ashlyn and Logan were taking their daily bike ride.....It was after we got home from the lake. Enterprise had a terrible rain, thunder and lightning storm! Well, as they were riding, Logan noticed a kitten laying on the side of the road in a puddle of water in some gravel. They rode over to it and were excited to find this kitten. Right away, Logan rides to the house as fast as he can and asks me what to do. We told him they should go around that neighborhood and see if they can find his owner. After about an hour, they came home with the kitten. Ashlyn had him zipped up in her hoodie to keep him warm. They were very cute with him. They took baby wipes outside to clean him up. They brought him back in the house and we realized something was wrong with him. He couldn't stand up, he wouldn't eat or drink. We were worried he maybe had distemper. We stressed out as we have two other kittens already. So Ashlyn and Logan found a box to put him in. We figured we see how he was in the morning. Ashlyn could not go to sleep. She just cried and cried and was thinking about how he was all alone outside in a box. My mom and I fixed up a little bed for the kitten and brought him into the garage. The next morning, he seemed a little better. Better meaning, he actually lifted his head. He still could walk. Ashlyn had to give him water by dropper every hour. Slowly but surely, he was getting a little better everyday. By the time we left on our trip on Thursday morning, he was starting to walk. He was crouched down, but walking. He was eating canned food. So big improvement! On Tuesday I had made some flyers with his cute picture on it. Wednesday morning my mom and Ashlyn hung flyers all over Enterprise. We were sure it was someones pet. In the meantime, Ashlyn had named him Boots. She loved boots a lot and was hoping we would not find the owner. He was a very tame cat! He just hugs you and loves you. The cutest thing! Well on Thursday as we are driving through Grand Junction, the owner called. It was indeed their cat. He got scared during the storm and took off. We still don't know how he got hurt....anyway. His name was actually Kronk. While my mom was on the phone with her explaining how Ashyn had nursed him to health, Ashlyn was in the backseat crying. She just kept saying, she didn't think that was going to be the last time she ever saw him. The other family ended up picking him up on Sunday and agreed to have Ashlyn over to visit him anytime she wanted. She was happy about that. She also decided to become at Vet! I am so proud of her for rescuing the kitten. She is very sensitive and loves all animals. It was hard to see her cry, but she had a good experience. She now knows what a good deed she did!
