Introducing Sadie

Not only are we fostering a dog, but we took in a stray cat. We named her Sadie and she is quite the snuggle bug.  I think she really feels like she struck the lottery coming to live with us.  She was very unsure of the camera and thought about slapping at it with her paw.  Then she settled down and let me take a pretty picture of her.

We are now foster parents….sort of

We made the decision to help The Animal Rescue Alliance, (http://www.tarasdream.org/), by fostering dogs.  Yesterday I went and picked up a small Rottweiler mix named James.  He is about 2 years old and full of what seems to be endless energy.  Hopefully he will find his forever home for the holidays.  He is a sweet boy and deserves it.

He is recharging his batteries in this picture 🙂

Woody Woodpecker

Glen got a great picture of a pileated woodpecker while he was out sitting in his deerstand.  They are a fantastic looking bird.  Interesting tidbit, the cartoon character Woody Woodpecker was modeled after the pileated woodpecker.

You got red on you

This post’s title suggests that it may have something to do with the movie Shaun of the Dead…..but it doesn’t.  Just a pretty cardinal sitting in an evergreen tree.

Chewed Tree

Evidence that beavers have been in the area.

It was exciting seeing that beavers have been thriving at Knob Noster State Park, but I would have been beyond excited to actually see a beaver in the wild.

Deer Tracks

Found this perfect deer track in the mud.  It is the print of a doe.  We looked all over to see if we could find those of a buck for comparison.  No luck.

Happy Halloween

Glen and I finally got our new furniture.  As you can see, Lucy and Lily both think it is awesome!  Even though there is plenty of room, Lily still doesn’t appear to want to share any sofa space with Lucy.  Cats sure can give an evil stink eye 🙂  My big plans for Halloween are booting the critters off the new furniture, snuggling under a nice warm blanket and watching spooky movies.

Rainy Days and Mondays

It rained buckets here all day yesterday.  What to do when you can’t go outside?  Take a long nap of course.

A Note From Abroad

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sailaway from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain
