Miss Nala Update:
I've had Nala for 2 weeks & 3 days now. She's settling in, but we're still having some difficulties; mainly her desire to hide out all day long. I've been keeping the bedroom doors closed so she can't hide out under the beds, & been trying to block off the underside of the sofa.

After I got my "barrier" fixed so Little Miss Nala couldn't get behind the water heater (I got afraid she would get stuck back there & had no idea how I'd get to her if I needed to), she has found herself a new hidey hole. In the corner of the dining room behind my canning rack.

Little Nala's journey has hit a snag. Yesterday I had to do some laundry. I brought her out of the utility room before the washer got to going. She spent most of yesterday napping in a chair under the dining room table. But while I was gone to the Ortho, she moved back to the utility room.

Little Miss Nala update. The change in Nala over the past couple of days has been remarkable. Last night before I went to bed, I carried an extra blankie in the utility room to try & provide her some extra shield from the cold. She slept on the blankies all night.

Little Nala is getting more accustomed to my place.

I took the plunge yesterday and adopted a beautiful little Torte female. Her name is Nala, and all she wants to do is hide right now. I got some of those pheromone diffusers that suppose to calm them.

In the morning I have to go say goodbye to my best friend in the world. I'm going to miss seeing his furry little face every day. There's nothing the vets can do that will make him well again. I feel gutted, depressed, despondent, I don't know what to do. Maybe we can meet up again in another life.

I posted a few days about my little buddy being sick & having to go to the vet. He was there a week & a half. I brought him home on Wednesday morning & things seemed to be going okay. Then yesterday he started getting worse. I called the vet.

My little buddy is doing better. The vets said his urine is looking better, so hopefully he's getting all the crystals flushed out of his bladder. They did call me yesterday and asked if I could bring him some of his prescription food because they were running low. I told them of course.

If everyone could, please send my little buddy all the positive thoughts & healing vibes you can. He is at the vet. He's had a urinary condition common to cats for years & we've kept under control, but on Monday I had to rush him to the vet. My heart is breaking at the thought of losing him.

Found a song that really sums up my feelings on current events in the world today.

And the people digging up my front yard for a new water main wanted in on the act too.

Of course, the deer wanted some equal time.

A turkey lurkey wandering around my yard.

I'm going to try to take a social media break & see if that helps my outlook. I'm feeling like I'm at the end of my rope. So I'm going to be in my chair reading. I'm going to finish "The Catcher in the Rye", then move on to "The Island", "Grapes of Wrath", & "Cannery Row".

For a few years I've felt like I need to add to my tools for growing & preserving food. After my mother's death, I rescued all of her canning stuff from the garbage can my brother tossed it in. Over the past year I've been relearning how to can food, & have managed to create a nice little cantry.

Oh joy. It's snowing in Gadsden Alabama. Wasn't 2 weeks ago enough snow for the year?
January 19, 2025 at 9:36 PM
Haven't had sun puddles in a few days. So someone is making sure he gets them all soaked up today.

Snow in Gadsden Al. This is rare for us.

Someone won't let me get up.

Deer right outside my window. Was sitting here watching them with the cat. Something startled them. Turns out it was a young buck running a doe.

You're eating spaghetti when the waiter asks you "how's your meal". 😄

Put the apple cores and peels in the backyard. Loudmouth & Scruffy Butt are out there looking at it like, "WTF is this crap."
December 13, 2024 at 9:27 PM
The deer must have heard i was peeling, coring, & slicing apples for applesauce. They're waiting for the peels & cores. They do seem to be interested in Loudmouth walking through the yard.
