To-day Deo struck.   Usually Clyde is the recipient of his charms!  But
Bonnie was out on her own when I heard the rumpus.  Deo took off when I
went outside but I knew exactly what had happened.  I called Bonnie for
ages and finally she limped into view.  I have never seen a more

So, as of late there has been a pair of mockingbirds hanging out near my
place. However, I was noticing that a lot of times, they start acting
insane. They jump along the fence, chirping loudly, even going as far as

We are in the midst of 3 very social weekends (unusual for us - we're
usually quite reclusive) - last weekend we had 6 members of Dave's
family visiting for 4 days, this weekend was a big BBQ lunch and next
weekend old friends are visiting for 5 days.  All this in aid of Dave

The local birds are screaming their little heads off.
I run outside and I see my "middle child" ( the big Maine Coon like

Anybody heard anything from Jen?  She hasn't posted here in a long time and

We have lots of ticks out on the island, and I've tried to find a way to
combat them because here in Finland, they carry a disease called Borrealia.
In the past, I've checked the cats every day, and pulled out any ticks I
found (it's even yuckier than it sounds - they are arachnids ...

It's a RANT.  Pardon me if I've told this before, but I got something in the
