More of The New Fawn and Mom

The new fawn is so cute. Very friendly too. The baby comes nearly every evening with it's Mom to munch on corn and veggies I put out. Not many babies born this year I suspect since the Mom usually has 2 babies and I've only seen this one all summer. Also WI and I think MI have put restrictions on hunting season: No taking of does...at all!

Enjoy:

Some Summer Photos

It's been a beautiful summer up here in Michigan. So much better than last year. Veggies are growing well and just the right amount of rain.

My sister visited for 2 weeks. We had a blast. My Dad came with her and he'll be here for another 5 to 6 weeks. His wife had heart surgery so he needs to be away from home as he can't be of any help. His Alzheimer's is progressing and I do notice the changes. Oh well, he's my Dad and I'll take care of him in any way possible.

Also, my 50 lb poodlicious dog, Taffy yanked me to the ground and broke 3 of my ribs! Yikes! My new monster puppy, Baylee yanked my down in the woods and I sprained my ankle! I swear, I should change my name to Calamity Jody.

I haven't blogged much because I've been so darn busy. Busy enjoying the summer sun and my family.

Here's the photos:

Another Day in the Woods

Things are going well here. We had a short killer thunderstorm last evening that gave us much needed rain. However, it also had a few wild wind gusts. Those gusts bent our flag pole in half and brought down a huge tree across our road. It was wild!

Our puppy is growing like a weed. She now weighs 5 lbs 8 oz! However, she had an accident and we had to take her to the Vet. She has a green stick fracture of her left front leg! Thankfully, if one is going to break a leg that's the best one to have. Poor little thing. But she's on anti-inflammatory meds and it's a stable fracture; no cast required as that would stop her growth of her bones. She'll be fine with some rest. She's in no pain thankfully. I swear, puppies can sure get into trouble fast!

We have discovered that she's going to be easily trained. Already she sits on command and no longer pees in her crate. She also sleeps nearly the whole night through. Silly little thing, Taffy wants to see the bigger dog, Tanner, but he still runs away from her. The 2 tuxedo cats sniff her and let her touch them but the other black cat flees the scene when she looks at him!. She also sleeps in some funny positions.



Taffy waiting by her bowl.


Taffy passed out on the couch! LOL

Our black cat Shadow is finally getting over the loss of his partner, Sammy. He hangs out mostly with Symba. Especially at bedtime.


Shadow's new sleeping partner.

Of course, like all our animals, Shadow is in denial about being neutered! So he jumps Bacchus on the window for cat sex with a lake view! LMAO!!


How rude!!! LOL

Then, like all men, Bacchus passes out afterwards! Sheesh.


How twisted. Heh.

So that's what's going on up here. Now, off to help with chopping up that tree that fell.
