Today's Pets are Up

[Karen]

Today's Dog and Cat of the Day are up! SO sorry about missing yesterday, and now today's Pet is going to have to wait until this evening, as I need to get to the Farmer's Market. Sigh.

[Karen]

Today's Dog, Cat and Pet are up!

[Karen]

Crazy day today at the Post Office, but at least we are getting rain!

Today's Cat, Dog and {et are up.

[Karen]

Today's Dog, Cat and Pet are up!

[Karen]

Today's Dog, Cat and Pet are finally up.

So sorry everyone.

[Karen]

Today's Dog, Cat and Pet are up.

[Karen]

So sorry, everyone! I only got partway through getting them ready, Boo really wanted to be a house buffalo! But I will update the sites tonight for tomorrow. There are not enough hours in the day! At the farmers market now.

There are new hatchlings - I do not have a picture yet, but Trier, our brown goose, hatched four goslings and a weee black duckling!

[mon]

Can't wait for photos... of anyone around there! ❤️

[Karen]

Today's Independence Day Dog, Cat and Pet of the Day are up!

Stay safe, everyone!

[Karen]

Today's Pet, Dog and Cat are up!

Mary Margaret the elder turtle is now being very busy and adventurous, I promise a picture of her later today! She is having more fun now than she probably had in many years!

[phesina]

Looking forward to seeing her picture, Karen! All good wishes to Mary Margaret and you all.

:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:

[Karen]

Here she is - Miss Mary Margaret Turtle:

And here's the latest clutch - Trier hatched one duckling, then two days later four goslings, including one Chinese (the yellow one) and three that are likely her own.

Wow! Awsome pics Karen, love that wee turtle. So Trier hatches duck eggs for you plus her own eggs?? What a sweetheart ❤️💕 Thanks!

[Karen]

Wow! Awsome pics Karen, love that wee turtle. So Trier hatches duck eggs for you plus her own eggs?? What a sweetheart ❤️ Thanks!

Geese and other domesticated birds will often lay eggs in each other's nests - creching it is called. Trier has some genetic offspring amongst those Winnie hatched Memorial Day, from what we can tell. But this is the first time she has been able to keep a nest without someone else taking it over.

Hopefully Weezie, our Cayuga duck who laid that duckling egg will hatch some ducklings soon, and we can whisk that little one under her, as eventually the geese will notice that it is not a gosling and may drive it out of the flock, or even kill it. And the Chinese gosling will likely be adopted by Lily or Petal, its actually momma. It's all rather fascinating to watch!

And the turtle is a redbelly turtle - Pseudemys nelsoni, and Kermit thinks she is at least 20 years old.

[phesina]

Beautiful! Thanks, Karen.

Loving good wishes to them all.

[Karen]

I am having computer issues - need a new cable to connect my external drive to my desktop, so will not be able to get the new pets up until this evening. Frustrating, as my current cable connects and then drop the connection. Just old, I guess, and I don’t whether the issue is the cable or the port, but there is an unused port I am getting a cable for that should be fine. (USB 3, I never had the right cable for that port, so it should be pristine. Sigh. Sorry folks.

I can post on Pet Talk through my phone, but not do the websites through it.

[Karen]

I will update the sites tomorrow - the store didn't give Kermit the right cable, sold him a USB2 printer cable instead of a USB3 cable, Sigh.

[tatsxxx11]

Great pics, Karen!!!:love::love::love: Miss Mary Margaret looks SO happy, all of them so precious! Thanks for posting them! (I keep looking for that hug emoji!:rolleyes::D) We need to update those ancient emoticons; so 2000!:p

[Karen]

Thanks- she is thumping around and having a grand time, with various rooms to explore, sunny spots, shady spots, right now baby chicks to listen to, etc. the pups only had one major barking session when they realized this “rock” actually moves on her own, now are just curious about her.

The cable I need is arriving at the store this afternoon- so hopefully tonight my computer will be functional again. Sigh.

[Karen]

Rather than update the sites so late, I will start updating tomorrow, but promise to have them up in the morning - I now have the correct cable, and am typing this from my desktop again! thank goodness.

[Karen]

Today's Pet, Dog and Cat are up!

And here is Hotep - he is now two years old, and getting more of his stunning adult coloring!
(Peacocks mature by age 3)

[phesina]

WOW! You're beautiful, Hotep.. absolutely stunning!

:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:

[mon]

Hotep's so fine lookin', definately got it goin' on! 💫

Wow very pretty peacock! i didnt realize how many shiny an vibrant colors they have

[Karen]

Thanks, they really vary depending on what part of the world they were from. And his colors will keep changing somewhat for the next year!

So sorry folks, I will update the sites tonight for tomorrow- at the Farmers Market now.

[Karen]

Today's Pet, Dog and Cat of the Day are up.

I ended up being stick away from my computer for several extra hours last night, but all is okay now. Such a busy time on the farm, I should take more pictures to show you, but don't always have my phone with me at the right moment.

More women's - and girls' clothes should include more pockets!!!!

[Karen]

Today's Very Special Pets, Dog and Cat of the Day are up!

[Karen]

Today's Dog, Cat and Pet are up at last! And thanks, Pat!

[Felicia's Mom]

Congrats to Marigold on her new kittens!:love::love::love::)

[Karen]

Because I got yesterday's Pets up so late, they will be today's honorees as well, and new pets will resume Saturday morning. That sound fair, everyone?

[tatsxxx11]

Sounds good! You deserve a bit of a birthday break!!!:)

Congratulations to Marigold and the newborns, And a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you, Karen!!!:love::love::love:

[Karen]

Congratulations to Marigold and the newborns, And a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you, Karen!!!:love::love::love:

Thanks, Sandra! I cannot wait - but know I must - to show you all their precious little faces!

One is black with white paws, two silver and black tabbies, one pale orange fluster like Mulligan, and I have not yet seen the fifth kitten, but Kermit says it's a tortie like Marigold!

[phesina]

That's just fine, Karen! I hope you're all enjoying a nice birthday break!

[Karen]

Today's Dog, Cat, and Pet of the Day are up. Sorry for the tardiness, folks.

Oh, and a correction - Marigold only had four kittens, Kermit's brain does not handle numbers well, and so he miscounted. But they are two little tabbies (silver and black, like Marigold's one front leg, complete with white mittens, one black kitten with white mittens, and one fluffily pale orange kitten like papa Mulligan.

[Karen]

Today's Dog, Cat and Pet are up! So sorry so late, folks.

[Karen]

Today's fabulous Dog, Cat and Pet are up!

[Karen]

It is Friday, Farmer's Market Day, and so I will not be able to update the Pet, Dog and Cat today - no time until after 8 pm, but will have tomorrow's Pets up early, okay?

Marogold has moved and hidden the kittens well, so we do not even know if eyes are open yet! We suspect somewhere in the nice cool basement.

We got new baby chicks in the mail yesterday, so cute and fluffy - I will endeavor to get more chick pictures this weekend. All beasts are growing and doing well. A neighbor has come to start training Boo, and is totally in love with how trainable he is, especially compared to cows!

Love you all, gotta go clean up to head down to market - it opens early for at-risk shoppers.

[Karen]

Today's Pet, Cat and Dog are up!

[Karen]

Today's Dog, Cat and Pet of the Day are up!

Farm updates - Boo is growing so fast I had to add more fabric (elastic) to the belly strap for his vest! Marigold has her kittens hidden so well we have not seen them in over a week, but know they are still alive because we hear them tom time to time! As you may know, I am half deaf, so have no "directional" hearing, which does not help!

We have had very active predators - coy wolves - over the past few nights, no losses that we know of, but Lulu puppy has been exhausted during the day. She spends the night outside, preferring to sleep with a metaphorical one eye open on the porch, and takes defending her people (which includes all the animals and birds here) very seriously. I should get an updated picture of our brave warrior princess, she is getting so tall! Saturday night it was so bad, though, that she came and slept with ME part of the wee hours of the morning, so she must have been badly spooked. She has never ever done that before.

[phesina]

Karen, the Cat of the Day page has a dog pictured!.. The Dog of the Day, I think, because she's also on that page.

Are the kittens in the house somewhere?

:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:

That was only the case for a couple minutes, but was fixed, and just the caching needed updating.

[Karen]

Are the kittens in the house somewhere?

Yes, and pretty sure they are in the basement - where a worker has left his tools and materials everywhere, so lots of chaos and hiding places.

[Karen]

Today's Cat, Dog and Pet are up! Two Two for Tuesday pairs!

[phesina]

Yes, and pretty sure they are in the basement - where a worker has left his tools and materials everywhere, so lots of chaos and hiding places.

Karen, why not move the kittens and Marigold upstairs to a room with a door. If there are workers coming and going in the basement and bringing and leaving tools and materials around, that sounds like a recipe for disaster: accidental injury or worse for kittens, especially after they get big enough to start exploring.

Might be a good idea to keep Lulu the puppy inside at night if there are active predators roaming around then.

They are not coming and going, and as I said, I do not know where the kittens are. This worker has been spotty in terms of actually showing up to work.

She iss the self-appointed defender of the farm. She will whine and bark and pester to be let out, and does a great job of chasing off or warning off all predators. She is half Australian Cattle-dog, and has all those instincts. It is her JOB, and she takes it very seriously.

Sounds like the kittens are pretty safe for now, anyway, and Lulu knows her job and any coyotes or wolves or whatever would think twice before approaching too close!

Is there any way you could lure the kittens out to some place to catch them and get them together with Marigold?

I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of Lulu and Marigold and any of the kittens you can get pictures of. And Boo the growing boy and the other animals, too.

All the best to all the critters, and may you all stay safe and well!

[Karen]

Marigold knows where her kittens are. I have not seen them for a week and a half, but hopefully we will be able to find them this weekend.

Today's Dog< Cat and Pet are up!

[Karen]

Kittens! She has moved them again, but this time, under my bed, so I wake to the sound of baby kittens! Eyes are open, and they all look fat and healthy! I got a couple not great pictures I will post, I promise! I will update the pets tonight for tomorrow, Farmer's Market day, and I am out of time and need to head down. Sorry everyone!

[phesina]

Great news about the kittens! I'm so glad they're doing well. Looking forward to pictures and more news!

And the first of the kittens army-crawled out from under the bed today, so adorable! One of the tabby babies.

AWWWWWWwwwwww, so sweet!

I hope the kittens are safe in your room there and not starting to wander all around the house or out!

Here, just so you can see the proud Momma, is Marigold - and in her coat you can see that any color kitten could be hers! :) I think she's a beauty, and tell her so all the time. And she's a fabulous momma kitty, and excellent mouser.

[cassiesmom]

The kittens are adorable and Marigold is a beauty! Welcome, darling kittens!

[Karen]

Thanks. So sorry folks, life has been so busy today, and I have a meeting at 6, and do not think I will be able to update the pets until quite late tonight.

[Karen]

Today's Pet, Dog and Cat are up!

Kittens are now more mobile! Pictures later, I promise!

[Karen]

Marigold keeps moving them, but I know where the kittens are now.

Sadly, I will not be able to update the sites, various circumstances and Farmer's Market all are conspiring to keep[ me from computer work. Love you all, promise will get tomorrow's Pets up early in the day.

I am also struggling a bit, emotionally, as tomorrow would have been Paul's birthday, and Sunday our wedding anniversary, so mid-August is difficult for me, though I am trying to focus on new good things happening.

I miss him every day, even after five years.

[Karen]

Today's Pet, Cat and Dog are up!

[Karen]

Oh dear, the day has been so chaotic - and I am getting picked up in 20 minutes , so the poets won't be hop until after 8 pm.

We had visitors - unexpected - to the farm today, andn keeping everyone taken care of has swallowed much of my day.

34 years ago by now I was at our wedding reception, this would have been our wedding anniversary of Paul and I. Hug the ones you love close, okay?

This is Sunflower, the kitten we kept from Marigold's first litter. She is such a good big sister, and will snuggle the kittens when Marigold is taking a break.

[phesina]

Dear Karen, my deepest sympathy to you at this sad birthday and anniversary time. May your precious memories and keepsakes help to bring you comfort. You and Paul have shared a wonderful love and always will.

{{{{{HUGS}}}}} and ~~~~PURRRS~~~~ and :love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love: from Pat and Sparkler.

Marigold and Sunflower, all of the kittens are simply precious!!!:love::love::love:

And please know I'm thinking of you during this difficult time, Karen.:( My deepest condolences as you remember two such special days: Paul's birthday and what would have been your 34th anniversary. As Pat has said, until you and he are reunited, Paul, your and his love lives on through Pet Talk, in your heart and your countless happy memories.
(((HUGS)))

[Karen]

Thank you everyone. So glad I have all of you who remember him.

[phesina]

Today's Dog, Cat and Pet are up at last.



Karen, why not leave the "Sunday" animals for today, Monday, since they didn't have any time on Sunday and then only part of today.

Then have "today's" new ones be the Tuesday animals, and then everyone gets a good amount of time.

Just a thought.. If that's not too tricky to do (whatever works best for you is okay).

Thanks,
Pat

As has been the case lately I will have to head down to farmer's market, so won't be able to update the pets today - so sorry. Would you folks be interesting in pictures from the market, and what I do there?

[phesina]

I'd like to see some pictures from the market and what you do there, Karen!

Yes! Always wondered what you sold there...produce, baby chicks, homemade stuff?:) Also wonder why your farmer's market is held on Fridays, well into the afternoon. In NJ, Pa, MA and ME, places I've lived/visited they're all held on Saturday mornings, starting very early and over by noon!:D

[Karen]

Today's sites are up, and I will tell you guys about the Farmers' Market tonight!

[Karen]

The Farmers' Market is a project of the West River Community Project, and is held at the field behind the Post Office where I work. It was always Friday afternoon to evening - so people could stop by on their way home after work I guess.

This is my second summer having a table, and I sell Golden Cakes I invented, and bake - gluten free little yummy cakes made with chufa flour and brown rice flour, local honey, our own eggs, lemon, ginger, coriander and more. I sell tea cookies - little spiced shortbread cookies with patterned tops. I sell goose and duck eggs in season, so not now. But I also cell ceramic sculptures I make. Dragons, fairies, flowers, mermaids, elves ... all small.

[Karen]

Today's Dog, Cat and Pet are up! I will post more Market pictures later, too!

The kittens are mobile, and so cute!

Wow!!! The cakes and tea cookies are lovely, and sound delicious! Bet they're big sellers! And how beautiful are your ceramics, Karen! I never knew you were a sculptor! And that's convenient, having the market held just behind your place of work and being held (in part) after working hours! Thanks for the great pics, Karen! Now off to Google chufa flour!:D

Thanks, Sandra! The tea cookies sell out some weeks, some weeks the Golden Cakes do - it just depends on the crowd. Chufa flour is also called Tiger Nut flour, but I dislike that name, because it is not a nut, and has nothing to do with tigers, either. It's a sedge that was a staple of ancient Egyptian culture. Densely nutritious, and yummy. The recipe is one I created when Kermit - who is Egyptian - described the tea cakes his grandmother used to make. They keep pretty well, and freeze well, too.

And yes, I love working with clay, used to when I was a kid, so getting back to it in Vermont has been wonderful.

[phesina]

Wow, Karen, that's wonderful! The Golden Cakes and Tea Cookies look and sound delicious, and those ceramic sculptures are adorable. If I ever have a chance to come to your market some day, I'll for sure buy at least one of each!

I should probably start an Etsy store for the sculptures, the dragon on the left sold this Friday, but there are others, and flower bowls, and little trays, and ....

And thanks for the compliments!

Here are a couple more pictures from Farmer's Market various weeks ....

And a bonus picture from earlier this summer with Teddy the Alpaca, and some of the geese - he loves his goose friends.

What a beautiful setting!!! And is that your Teddy??? Alpaca? SO precious! And thanks for the chufa flour info; interesting! Just wondering if you have a kiln? Where do your fire your ceramics? They are so sweet, and you should definitely go on Etsy; LOVE Etsy, the home to so many fun homemade/crafted, hard to find stuff!:D

Yes, Teddy is a rescue, originally he was somewhere far upstate, and his companion alpaca passed away - he's an older boy but we do not know how old. He was pining away from loneliness. He was *theoretically" going to belong to our friend Andy, who is a spinner, but Andy's partner was not consulted, and at one point she said "it's him, or you" so Teddy - who cam to our farm in transition, returned to us, where he has not only a fellow camelid (Critter is a wazilla - half alpaca, half llama), but donkeys, dogs, and geese and other birds as companions.

I make and fire the ceramics at a partner farm, Meadows Bee farm, which has a ceramic open studio twice a week.

[Karen]

As is usual on Friday, chaotic day, now I have to get ready and head down to Farmers Market. All the baking is done, two other crisis dealt with.

Minutae the chicken is loose in the house, she has chicks and has adopted some she didn't hatch, so I cannot complain too much! She is the surviving daughter of Madeline, the Sizzle (Half Silkie, half Frizzle) chicken we lost to predators.

Sadly, Mr. Bean the goat is missing for over a day now, may have been chased by the coywolves and not know his way home. He had been tethered to Kritter the Wazilla, and Kermit found Kritter in the woods, but bean broke the tether. Kritter is home safe, thankfully.

Aww! Teddy is precious!:love: So sorry to hear he lost his best friend. But between you and all of the other critter companions on the farm hopefully he's not too lonely!:) How neat that you have a neighbor nearby with a kiln that you can use. Hand molding is such fun!

[phesina]

Teddy is adorable! I'm glad he has all these new friends, after he'd lost his companion alpaca.

Minutae and the chicks sound like fun!

I hope Mr. Bean is safe and will be back home soon.

Thanks everyone, and pat, we do not know if we will ever see Mr. Bean again, as he was not yet particularly bonded to anyone here, but do hope he is safe out there somewhere. Here in the mountains, there's lots of woods to travel and get lost in, and he was not yet wethered - in fact, that was scheduled for yesterday - so may be wandering in search of lady goats too.

[Karen]

Hand molding is such fun!


It is! I have not played with clay since I was a kid, so this is such a blessing. And Meadows Bee Farm is owned by friends of Kermit's and is very close by, which I did not know until after I made the decision on this place. He had not said anything about that, because he didn't want to sway my opinion for his sake.

[Karen]

I have been on the road all day, getting animal feed, etc., will not be able to update the pets until late. Sigh. Sorry, folks.

[Karen]

Today's Dog, Cat and Pet of the Day are up!

[Karen]

So sorry, late in the day again. Today's Pet, Dog and Cat of the Day are up!

[Karen]

My usual busy Friday message - getting ready for Farmer's Market. Won;t be updating the pets today. Sigh.

But the kittens are so adorable! I just need to convince them I am not a tree to climb! Another couple weeks until they go to their new homes. We will miss them. Got a good picture I will post later, I promise!

[Karen]

Today's Dog, Cat and Pet are up, and good news ...

Mr. Bean - our goat - is alive! He is not yet home, but is hanging out near the the local tallest waterfall, Hamilton Falls. Unfortunately, it is suddenly a tourist hot spot, but the Sheriff - there for crowd/COVID-19 control, saw him this morning - and got a great picture! It's in a state park, nearby, and there are lots of woods and goat browsing. So he's alive, not hungry, and probably having a grand time, still wearing his collar and trailing the lead rope he broke ... Kermit is going to go back in the wee hours of the morning and see if he has better luck finding him then.

That's wonderful news! Hope you'll be back home very soon, dear Mr. Bean!

:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:

[Karen]

Great news!!! Hoping Mr. Bean can be found and returned home, safely!

There are so many tourists from out of state trying to visit the falls this holiday weekend - and there's no parking there - that Kermit is going to wait until after people go back to their own states - so Tuesday I think. There's also hope that he may show up at our friend Amos's house, whose property abuts the state park. The terrain is pretty difficult for humans, and the only parking is a small lot for emergency vehicles, as historically people have died on those rocks, or been badly injured, and needed rescue.

As we were going past the line of cars waiting for parking, I saw license plates from Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, and Massachusetts - and no one appeared to be self-quarantining and most milling around their cars were not wearing masks. rather troubling from a COVID standpoint.

[Karen]

Today's Pet(s), Dog and Cat are up.

Today's adventures have included Marigold finding, dispatching and bringing into the kitchen a chipmunk, whose corpse I then gave to Spaulding the Ball Python in his enclosure so no one stepped on it.

The kittens regard me as a climbing tree, oh those wee claws!

Lots of tourists slowing down to look at our animals, a few leaving their cars (in the middle of the road) to get out and try to take pictures, one little crying because her dad wouldn;t let her attempt to pet the geese, and more dramas!

[phesina]

What does Spaulding normally eat?

I sure hope those kittens aren't running around anywhere near his enclosure.

[Karen]

What does Spaulding normally eat?

I sure hope those kittens aren't running around anywhere near his enclosure.

His enclosure is quite secure, and the kittens are not allowed in the aviary anyway.

He eats whatever dead rodents the cats bring in, any chicks that die after arriving here, etc. He is older, does not need to eat a lot.

[phesina]

I'm glad to know the kittens are safe! They must be so much fun to watch (and have them use your leg as a tree).

So Spaulding doesn't need to get live prey? That's great!

Any further news on Mr. Bean? More hopes and prayers and good wishes and warm loving energies that he is safe and will be back home soon.

[Karen]

There is apparently a photo somewhere on Facebook of him, he is somewhere near Hamilton Falls, either at the bottom or the top, depending on who saw him last. The deputy sheriff had not sighted him yesterday, but does have the peppermints in his pocket as a lure just in case.

And no, Spaulding never gets live food, except any flies or bugs he wants to catch, that's up to him.


Today's Cat, Dog and Pet are up.

[phesina]

Mr. Bean, come back home soon! Peppermints are awaiting!

(I never knew those were goat delicacies.)

[Karen]

Toiday has been crazy busy at the Post Officer, and I had to run an errand that dragged into 45 minutes extra, So I will not be updating the pets today, so late in the day, but will try to get them up earlier tomorrow. Sigh.

[Karen]

Today's Pet, Dog and Cat of the Day are up!

[Karen]

Today's Dog, Cat and Pet are up at last.

[Karen]

I am getting ready for Farmer's Market, as has been the case each Friday lately. Last week, I promised to get the pets up early on Saturday to compensate, but then we lost power for 6 hours just as I set to work. But the skies are clear, and so should be able to get them up early in the day on Saturday.

I also promise much kitten cuteness - they were of course "helping" me bake by frolicking or napping smack dab in the middle of the kitchen. Mulligan decide to occupy baskets I had hoped to use - thankfully we have quite a selection. Would you like pictures of that? And I have a great picture I need to show you all from LAST Friday ... Papa and kittens napping on the chest I needed to bring out to the car - all my ceramics travel in it. Of course.

[Freckles]

Pictures?
yes, please.

[phesina]

I'd love to see the pictures!

Miss Z's AvatarMiss Z Miss Z is offline ad iudicium Join Date Sep 2005 Location At university in Hertfordshire, UK Posts 4,944 Keep an eye on her, I don't think wax is digested that easily. As long as she's not eaten too much then it'll probably just pass out her system, but if she does show any sign of discomfort get her to a vet immediately. There is a possibility that it could cause a blockage in her digestive system if she's eaten a lot, but it's unlikely if she only ate a bit. I hope she's OK, I would feel terrible if something like that happened to my rattie Tia. Please keep us updated on how she is doing.

This website is one my husband Paul and I started - Pet of the Day, back on September 1, 1997.

The forum was added in 2000 because people wanted to chat about the pets, dogs and cats featured on the homepage and grew from there to be what you see now.

Paul died suddenly on May 4, 2015. I miss him every day.

[Karen]

I will not be updating the pets today, but will have them up early tomorrow, I promise! Farmer's Market time - just a few more Fridays left in the season.

He was spotted at the Jamaica VT state park, so we asked a person we know, Court, to go get him, as Kermit was running an errand in Northern Vermont, and I was working at the Post Office. I have not heard from him since them so do not know what Court found or saw. We have decided if he catches him, to give him to Court, as he is with someone who has female goats.

[Karen]

Today's Dog, Cat and Pet are up, as are blue skies and autumn beauty! Pictures later, I promise!

[Karen]

Just got the word - Mr. Bean has been captured, safe and sound. He will now be living with our friend Court, whose place includes some lady goats. As Mr. Bean went missing a week before his weathering appointment, this will be a better place for him. He never really bonded with Boo, his intended friend, so hopefully he will be happier there.

[Karen]

Changes again - Mr. Bean is home!

Today's Pet, Dog and Cat are up.

I'm so glad that Mr. Bean is safe and home!

:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:

[Karen]

Explain, please.

Mr. Bean went missing weeks ago, broke his tether, we figured he was getting chased by predators. But then when we figured he had been eaten by the coy wolves, he was spotted in a local state park, near the rocks at the head of the waterfall - treacherous going for humans and predators, easy for goat.

However, when we tried to go get him, the place was packed with tourists from out of state, and we could not find him. Tried several times, the local deputy was helping, armed with peppermints in crinkly plastic ... but nope. Then last Thursday, he was spotted in a different state park, but I was here at the Post Office working, and Kermit was in northern Vermont with the car, so we sent our friend Court, who had met Mr.Bean at least. Alas, no luck. But this weekend, suddenly Court and friend showed up - with Mr. Bean tied three ways in the back of his truck!

[Karen]

I will get the pets up at midnight, as I keep hetting them up later each day, got interrupted too much to get them up yet today.

So sorry everyone. I know people visit and post more in the morning anyway, so will get them finished and like I said, hit a mental reset and upload at midnight, like we used to do.

I am so so sorry everyone. This is the first time I have been at my desk since this morning, so will not be able to update the pets today, as the day is almost over.

There are simply not enough hours in the day, increasingly so. Today I spent hours driving, and we have new birds as a result, I will wait until I get pictures of them to tell you about them, but they are a different species, and will be quarantining separate from everyone else in the aviary space we have set upon the basement here.

It was a stunningly beautiful drive, through Vermont and upstate New York, I took a ton of pictures as I drove - through tiny towns and empty roads, so more than once I made sure there were no other cars around and just stopped in the middle of the road to take a photo! I felt bad for not updating the websites though.

The two kittens that left got very good homes. The orange boy is still here, as is Fancy, the polydactyl. I got a great picture of her paw "beans" - but then my phone got too badly broken to even recover anything from, so I will have to take a new one. Sigh. I spent two days trying to get it transferred over to my new phone to no avail, as I had stopped paying for extra back-up data for it. So the last few days worth of photos were gone. I usually download stuff fairly often, so didn't lose toooooo much. But it was a horrible couple days dealing with the phone company.

But today did include giving homemade chicken stew to our dear elder friends - enough so they were gonna bring some to our pastor and his wife as well, and have some for their freezer. It has celery root, lentils, herbs, a little barley, onion, garlic but the meat is from one of our own "broiler chickens" - the ones that did not get names or much human interaction, but lived a fabulously happy life until they got to their final size and started got harvested. (As otherwise they were literally gonna drop dead. They have been developed to mature quickly but be unsustainable.) The rest of the birds are in freezers now, and will be processed to help feed the community this winter.

Crazy busy day.

Today's Pet of the Day is up now. Cold rain falling down, and it's below freezing,so I expect things will be icing over any minute up here. Down the "hill" it's 38°F, up here °30F,

So sorry everyone! Today has been so very busy, what with Thanksgiving approaching, and increased business at the Post Office. And I still have stuff to do before I could update the websites, so rather than try to get them up this now, I will get them ready for tomorrow morning first thing.

Sigh.

Our elderly friend I told you all about will be in rehab possibly until mid-December, no guarantees either way. And he is 97, not 94! A true miracle that he survived, I will meet his daughter tomorrow.
