AUGUST 26 2017
41 Degrees this morning.
Had a very bad night. The cats were miaowing and coming in/out the doggy door all night.
I got up several times in the night. Made sure to use the lights as I did not want to step on a mouse!
Woke up at 6:30 and my first thought was "Our First Day Without Bud".
Hubby got up because Zim was wrestling with a chipmunk he had brought into the house. He was bapping it back and forth on the floor.
Hubby made eggs and gave them to the dogs. We decided no more pills for Ben.
Then I made lattes.
We had to stay inside to eat breakfast because the Mooses were outside eating apples & grain. They drank from the water bucket.
After the Moose had left, hubby loaded garbage into the Dodge. We let Ben outside to help. Ben ran off into the woods.
I decided to take more apples & grain out to the feeding area, when the MOOSE snuck up on me again. They were only about 6 feed away from me. I ran up to the house quickly.
I rode my bike down to the shop to look for Ben. Meanwhile, Ben had made round-about way back to the house & gotten tossed by the Moose when he came up too close. Hubby was at the house, filling the water barrel. He saw it all. Ben was not hurt, just upset.
Loaded Ben into the truck. Loaded Wilson into the truck.
Drove to Farragut Park for a walk around the Brig woods area.
Then we stopped at the Dump to drop off our garbage.
Stopped at Lil Town Market to get milk.
Ben had a big stringer on his mouth and head.
Slobber String on Ben
I spent the day working on Accounting Books.
At 11:30, I heard some noise in the kitchen. Under the bar, Zim had brought in a BIRD! He was playing with the bird & pawing at it, feathers were everywhere! I screamed. So I captured the bird with a glass & slid a file folder under it to take it outside. It sat for a few minutes, but then flew away!
Bad Zim!
Went outside to pick up dog poo at 4:00. Saw a pretty green caterpillar, but by the time I went to get my phone to take a picture, he was gone!
Moose were back by 5:30PM. They were sleeping on the ground out by the food.
