Critters, critters, critters

We've been doing a lot of traveling the last couple weeks and one of the best things about visiting people is getting to know their pets.


First we have the Tulsa crew.  This is Ginger and Abby.  Rascal is their brother, but somehow I did not capture of picture of him.


The other Tulsa crew was Fiona and _______ (I can't remember the other one's name.)  I loved this set of paintings that Heather's mom had.  It has inspired me to do something similar with my two three dogs.


This is Miss Charli Ann.  Charli is a Phoenician and she is a severely neglected cat. She is starving all the time and her parents never feed her.  While we were there she was on antibiotics for a UTI.  Unfortunately the antibiotics didn't agree with her and she was vomiting everything up including water.


My sweet hubbie took her to the vet and he changed her medication, but the result was the same.  The vet suggested some chicken and rice to settle her stomach, but she didn't much care for it.  I've decided that watching someone's pet is much more difficult than watching their kid.  I understand she went back to the vet yesterday so hopefully they found something that will work better.


When I got home I discovered that my little robins has hatched.  Right now they are just a little ball of fuzz.  Their mom made the next in one of our lilac bushes not very high off the ground.   I don't think it was a very wise location, but we'll do everything we can to protect them.


While in Phoenix we got the call that our little munchkin was ready to go to her forever home.  The timing was really awful because we're headed out of town again.  Luckily I have a very sweet daughter and grandson who stepped up and offered to keep her while we're gone.


I think she's in good hands.  She apparently got to sleep in Mary's bed last night and she is very fond of Mr. Beans.

Now for the big name announcement...

MAISY

This is Miss Maisy Belle.  She is so sweet and loving.  I can't wait to get back home.

So now we're off to see our neighbors up north.  I hope to meet some Canadian critters while I'm there.

Skywatch Friday: A little close for comfort

Image
We had a fire out here on the eastern plains of Colorado last week.  I kept getting reports on the fire's location on my cell phone while I was at work.  Then a warning popped up that let me know it was time to hit the road and go home to prepare to evacuate the critters. When we initially got home it was still a decent distance away. Within 30 minutes it had come up over the ridge and flames were visible. The winds were gusting 45 to 50 mph.  It was a fast moving fire that burned 5,000 acres in only four hours.  Then the most amazing thing happened--the winds died down and the firefighters got in under control by 8:15 that night.  Thank you, Lord! Have you ever had to stand in your house and wonder what you should take out with you?  There were only two things I could think of...1) my critters and 2) my passport so I could still go to Europe next month.  Irv and I agreed that we need to get things organized so we can just grab a box...

Skywatch Friday: Upper and Lower Falls

Image
Yesterday I got to visit the recently completed Uncle Tom's Overlook along the Yellowstone River in Yellowstone National Park. This is the first really good look I've ever had at the Upper Falls of the Yellowstone River. These falls are almost as good as the Lower Falls. After leaving the Upper Falls you go downstream for a mile or so to.... ...Artist's Point which has the very best view of the Lower Falls (in my opinion).  In this location the view is perfect, so perfect that it look like a painting. This is just one of the features of this Park that make it my heart and soul.   Linking with Skywatch Friday

Skywatch Friday: Wild Horses!

Image
 The Salt River wild horses have been eluding us since we arrived in Arizona several weeks ago so today we went in search of them again. This time we started at the Coon Bluff Recreation Area.  First we went one way down the river, but soon had to turn back because we didn't bring any rock climbing gear. Then we turned around and went the other direction. The water in the river was crystal clear, but no sign of fish or horses. There are times when I really miss my dad especially when I want to know what kind of tree I'm looking at.  This one has something that resembles Spanish moss hanging down.  What is it? This riparian area that surrounds the river has all kinds of wildlife.  Today we saw theses white egrets. This gray heron was also hanging out in the distance. We met a guy carrying all kinds of photographic equipment and he said we needed to go about a quarter of a mile further down the river to find a spot where the horses cross every afternoon around 5:0...
