Today's Pets are Up

Ha ha! Training kittens not to hunt birds 藍藍 Good luck with that 

We have done so already several times. Having large birds, used to defending their flock mates helps.

That last post was done with Mulligan's assistance, hence the extra characters!

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

It has been a crazy busy day, so rather than post today's pets so late in the day, I will restart the pages tomorrow.

Bless everyone who is sheltering in place, and being smart about social distancing. Most of the Post Office patrons are pretty good about it, thankfully, as we are an "essential service" and still open.

Today's Pets are up at last! Sorry for the gap, folks, stay well!

Today has been a strange and sad day. We may have lost three ducks to predators, since Dusky cannot be trusted outside on his own without being tied up right now, so is not patrolling the property at night. And for hours we though we also lost Mulligan to a predator, as he was missing for many hours. Thankfully, he somehow got locked in the basement, where we almost never go - it's a star hawk aviary, so Kermit is down there once a day or so to feed and tend them, but hadn't even been down yet today. But all is well with Mulligan.

I will not be updating the pages, I worked today at the Post Office, so am already behind in everything, and I need to attend to things at the farm. It's very stressful being the only one there, and worrying about keeping everyone safe, bleach-wiping things, and dealing with people from other states where the virus is widespread comig up and opening a PO box here.

So relieved Mulligan is okay - he snuck outside when I left for work this morning, so we will have to make sure that never happens again.

Dear Karen, I'm so sorry for your loss of your beloved ducks. How good that Mulligan turned up after you'd thought he was lost, too. Stay inside now, Mulligan!

You have an awful lot to take care of and look after now. Take whatever time you need for those important tasks, and get back to Pet Talk when you are able. We're all sending along loads of love and encouragement and warm wishes and hopes.
