WAKE UP!!

So this morning at 1:30am I was woken up.  No big deal, right?  I have a 5week old.  WRONG!  I was not woken up by a baby human, I was woken up by a baby bird!!  The evil huntress, also known as Lexi our cat, drug in a baby bird and was holding it captive in our bathroom!  I woke Cameron up, and very much against his will he rescued the baby from Lexi.  Then we looked at each other with a "now what" look.  We all know that I am a bleeding heart, so we had to save it!  I got a box and a hand towel and we put the baby in for safe keeping.  I didn't want Lexi to get any more babies so I blocked the doggie door and put her in the garage.  After I put Dax back to sleep when he finished his 5:30am feeding it was beginning to get light.  I figured it was safe to let Lexi roam free.  I was all tied up pumping when I heard Lexi tear through the doggie door with an ANGRY mommy bird in tow.  I shouted for Cameron to help, but with the bedroom door shut and our plethora of white noise makers roaring, he couldn't hear me.  I tried to quickly unhook myself and ran for Cameron's help.  Once again, he got up against his will.  We searched the house for Lexi and found her with another baby bird!  We wrestled baby number two away from her and put him in the box with his brother or sister.  Needless to say, the doogie door will remained blocked...until the babies fledge.  Hopefully that will only be a week?  Dax and I drove the babies to the Texas Wildlife Rehabilitation Center this morning.  I hope the babies get the care they need and will be released soon!
