Animal Worthy

With our latest happens I am starting to wonder if we are animal worthy! Yes Dobby is back, my husband has a broken fibula(smaller bone in your lower leg) and one of our neighbors has passed away at 61 years of age. Now one of those things is good and the other two are not.
Not that I was close to my neighbor but he and his wife have been there since we moved in our house and I guess you always expect things to stay the same until someone moves or you move.
My day goes like this: I tell my husband either go to the doctor about his leg that he hurt over a week ago playing rugby or shut up! He choose the former and when the doctor calls me to tell me what he has found(exactly what I had told him the day before when I worked with him) I am not surprised. Later when I call my husband he says his leg is fine and that he has just gotten back from the wake I say what wake? Then he tells me of the neighbor's demise!
That night when I go to bed I forget to let Lola back in so she is out for the night which is not a problem except that she is a roamer as previously told. I awake at 4:00am realizing she is gone so now we wait until day break and my husband goes out looking for her but she is gone. I call the police and animal control but no luck! Then there is a knock on the door and my widowed neighbor is there with Lola saying she had come by late last night and the family was still up after the funeral. They let her in so she was with the grieving family! Lola has many talents!

Blabbermouth

ALF is a blabbermouth because I was just waiting to get a picture of Lola with Dobby! Yes he is back just the way ALF described it. He just came walking in like nothing had happened. Lola smiled for an entire day(Lola does smile, something I will have to try to capture) and wagged her tail all day.
Now that we are a complete family again it is "Bunny Season" which is not a good thing!! The cats think catching baby bunnies and torturing them is fun and games. The ones I can rescue I have to bottle feed and very few make it!

Lola's Revenge

After my last post about Lola there were some pretty nasty comments about her size and things she does to maintain her sanity here at the "Zoo". Living with Arthur the neurotic Vizsla could drive anyone even me to chewing the remote controls!


Lola was abandoned in old barn rubble to give birth to 9 babies and she managed to feed them and keep them healthy until someone found them. She has had heart worm and Lyme's disease. Even after all these set backs she is a happy girl that enjoys walking on the beach and greeting all fellow walkers. I will admit that she has gone from almost starving to a bit overweight but she is working on it.


She now has a new problem, her cat Dobby is missing! Yes, she has her own pet and is very sad that it is missing for almost a week! We have this crazy lady that lives on the other side of the woods that is known for keeping other people's cats and that is where we think Dobby is. We have made fliers.

HEART BROKEN

The crazy lady called and said that she saw our cat a few days ago down the street and the new people might have the cat. She has one that looks just like it but it never goes out! So now my husband is going to ask to see it but one of the ladies I work with says I can have animal control get the cat to see if it is mine! Why Why me!
