It's Friday

Smile it's Friday.

A PET'S TEN COMMANDMENTS.........

1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.

2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.

3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.

4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.

5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.

6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.

7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.

8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.

9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old.

10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.

"To Do" List - be attacked by Mockingbird CHECK

How was your day? Mine began with finding a baby bird in the street being soaked by a sprinkler. Quick thinking, get bird out of street, get box, shred newspaper, place baby bird in box.





I go back and check on the little fellow and it's gone. I check the grounds, and notice it's across the street next to the curb. I walk over and pick up the little fellow and place it in the grass. Next thing I know, I'm being attacked from above by a Momma Mockingbird.

This wasn't on my "To Do" List today!!

It's a 2fer for the year

If you heard a blood curling scream coming from the Manvel area sometime in the 7 o'clock hour on the evening of July 19, 2010; that was me!

It was a normal evening after work. At home, outside tending to the critters. Walking to the chicken pen to gather eggs when all of the sudden, a 5 1/2 foot chicken snake sits quietly behind the laying boxes. I scream and dang near injuried myself trying to get away. Kristen told me she could hear my scream from inside the house; Mike was walking to the gate and witness me running out of the chicken pen. If you remember we had a 3 1/2 foot chicken snake not that long ago; this one was 2 feet longer. Mike came to my rescue and shot the snake 4 times, my hero.

The End

Those Crazy Cats

Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July everyone. Remember the true meaning of the 4th todayas you celebrate.
