The site is in French, so I don’t know the history. A friend forwarded this to me. I will warn you that this is extremely upsetting to watch.
It’s been rain, rain and more rain here in the Land O’ Salamander. This morning, briefly, the sun managed to find a cleft in the clouds. While I can’t say that the sun actually made an appearance, it was finally possible to see shadows outside. I opened the slats of the blinds by the deck…
There is such a thing as a free lunch. The company Christmas lunch is tomorrow. Roast beef, mashed potatoes, green beans almondine and cheese cake with topping for dessert is the menu. Bonus checks get handed out at the same time. I think I already spent mine on my car’s headlight assembly. I haven’t decided…
About a week ago I lost quite a few people from my notify list. I shrugged it off at the time, figuring I’d gotten a little repetitive and was becoming boring. To be honest, I never even checked to see if I could identify who I lost. I have now discovered that at least one…
It’s that time of year again, when the geese in formation fly in uneasy short bursts and the last spring’s fawns are nearly as big as their mothers. The Prof and I headed to the local Natural Lands Trust reserve to hunt for the elusive monarch caterpillar under a sky that threatened rain but delivered…
Iâm outside, on the deck (10â X10â of floor planks and rails, sadly in need of attention). For âattentionâ read ârestorationâ. Today is my day off. There is no chance of me doing anything that needs doing beyond the already accomplished sweeping of the arbor vitae droppings and cleaning of the patio table and two…
Yes. I cried.
Sadly enough I’ve seen something similar. Pardon me while I go into some history of my cat Dusty. Back in ’97 we had a very, very early hard freeze in late September. Ray called me late one afternoon saying that he’d found three kittens that weren’t more than 10 days old in the back of the shop (their eyes weren’t yet open). He’d seen a cat dead in the road by the shop earlier in the day. He called to ask if he could bring them home *rolls eyes*. Like I was going to say no?? Anyway, he got home with them about 15 minutes later. They were so cold they were stiff and their noses and mouths were packed full of dirt from them rooting on the floor trying to find food. We lost one of them almost immediately. The other two, Dusty (her full name is Dusty Q. Popsicle for the above stated reasons)and her sister beat the odds of cellular explosion from rewarming from the hypothermia and all was good for about two and a half weeks. I went in one morning to give them a bottle and saw Dusty kneeding and nuzzling her sister and I thought it was really cute until I got close enough to realize that her sister had passed away in the night. I really think she was trying to revive her and I suspect the cat in the video is doing the same. They probably had run together for years. It’s heartbreaking to watch.
