BRINGING LENA HOME...

It nearly broke my heart tonight to hear her frightened, plaintive cries after we put her in the carrier to bring her home.  She's under my Daughter's bed now.  I remember Julie hid under the bed for almost 2 weeks~Poppy spent most of that time with her head under the bed too~licking her and yipping!  Poor Lena!  No dog this time, but so scared none the less!  I hope she'll come out soon.  I feel so bad for her, and hope all the time spent gaining her trust hasn't gone down the tubes...

HE'S HOW OLD??!!

Happy Birthday, Big Guy!!  We'll celebrate at the pub tonight, dinner, drinks and the hockey game!  Sounds perfect!

BARNYARD CUTENESS UPDATE~LOL!

Altho the kitties do make me laugh, that actually means"Lovin' on Lena!"  A couple of us at the barn have been working with the tamest of the feral felines.  After hours of dragging twine thru the hallway and hiding behind doors and walls, wiggling my fingers at her, Lena now comes running when she hears my voice and will follow me in the hall.  She LOVES chin and ear rubs, and will let me pick her up for a half a minute or so at a time.  I'm quite enjoying my nearly-nightly visits with her!  She is so sweet~I'm hoping she will be able to come home with us once she's spayed.   Our resident cat Julie, is not enthused...
