Cathleen I’m not going anywhere! I’ve been bullied my entire life so if anyone wants a go at me, they can have at it. In fact, why not pick on me instead of Our Lilboops? It took me a long time to learn that people pick on others because they lack something inside themselves so by picking on someone it makes them feel better. I also learned that people tend to pick on someone they’re jealous of for some reason. But enough of that!

Your bird is beautiful Salt! I see him up on the roof. We put food out for our feathered friends summer and winter. Our squirrels try to get the food but we’ve got it hanging pretty safely. Get that bird house up! You’ll enjoy watching Pepper even more if you put it where you can see him.

I love Opal’s fat raccoons!! We get the odd one here but we don’t seem to have enough trees to keep them around. My hubby discourages them from staying too. We had a raccoon and her three babies up a tree one day but they left as soon as they safely could. We only have 141 trees on our property - hubby counted them one day while cutting the grass - but many are young trees. Most are black walnut but the squirrels are too lazy to go for the nuts through the hulls. We seem to get lots of squirrels though, and Mr Stinky the skunk makes nightly rounds. We put cat food out and he seems to like it. We have a kitty door into one of the barns so that the cats that live there can get in and out. We close it up at night when they’re all home. We forgot one night and when I went out to do my feeding rounds Mr Stinky was in the barn. I had to wait to go in and refresh their supplies. It took about an hour for him to stop socializing in there and leave! I’m a night owl by nature so this was at about 3 AM that I was originally trying to get in.

Nikkanookkanee, your seeing eye cat and Miss Molly Moo are adorable to say the least! They’ll love Denmark I’m sure. They’ll be happy anywhere you are!! Will they travel in the same crate? Is that allowed? I’m thinking it’s a long trip and they might be less anxious together than apart. Or you might be less anxious if you think they’re less anxious. Or something. 😹😹 I’m sure you’ve got it under control in any event. I’ll bet you’re not enjoying packing to go! Does everything you own ship over with you? Or can you only take some stuff and have to buy your furniture all over again? I’m curious as to how all that works.
