My 13 year old girl

Hi blogland friends. The last post we were celebrating Bambi 's 13th birthday. In truth we don't know the exact day Bambi was born. Bambi was left by her Mother's people in a fenced in holding pond when she was around 7 to 9 weeks old. A women that worked at the shelter saw her when she was on her way to work and got her and took her to the shelter. From that time until I got her she was adopted out 3 times. The third women that had her spayed her and bought her a crate. But Bambi was not to be therese. She was suppose to be mine. I rescued her when she was in her fifth month of age.

Everybody was having birthdays with their dog and I wanted to have a birthday and sing to her and we eat too much and have a full day just for her so we did. It was her first birthday party!!!!

She loved it!!! We had a wonderful time together!!!! We had a lot of birthday wishes and we thank all of you that helped us make it special !!!!!

Love coming your way, Bambi & Fern

Last day of September

Good morning blog friends, today is a nice day even though most of Florida is not having a nice day. We have no rain here. We have had 2 days of rain in all of September here. A grand total of 2 inches in September only...
Above is our very old Happy. She is somewhere between 18 and 20 years old. She is in a lot of pain at times and doesn't walk much any more but we keep her going b/c she is still enjoying life and very happy most all the time. She loves her loving. It is very important to her to stay close and watch when we are cooking or at the computer desk. Of course if what we are doing takes more then 10 minutes then she falls asleep!!!! She is still a very Happy cat!!!!!

The above picture is of this years baby Issy. She is a little over 4 months old. The picture below is her Mother Abby. Abby is 2 years old and just had her first litter of two coons. She is the best Mother of all the mothers that I feed.....People say they can't tell one coon from the other. Can you see a resemblance between the two??

I should have entered Abby's picture in the tongue contest!! But it's over, I missed it!!

Bambi lypoma's lumps are staring the trip back down!!! It is a slow process.

Lynn of Rocky Creek Scotties has awarded me an award. It is the best Moms Doggy award.

I think I have that backwards it is best Doggy Moms award!! Thank you Lynn!! now I have to pick 8 good doggy moms to award them with this award!!! Oh fun!!!!

I am going to think about it for awhile.

Oh Bambi Shame

Oh Bambi Shame!!! I have been working hard cooking Bambi's food for almost 3 months now. The diet was working!!!Her lypoma's were going away. Many had gone away.

Last Wednesday I have a dentist appointment to have my teeth cleaned. I rarely leave the house b/c I don't drive any more. So Tom had come home from work to take me to the dentist.

Our cat Happy is very old kitty now. She is 18 to 20 years old and she doesn't want to walk much or be picked up b/c she is in pain a lot of the time. Long story short her cat food is left on the floor for her at all times. All night Bambi never touches it. BUT GO AWAY and that cat food is gone down the hatch!!!! I FOREGOT to pick it up!!!!!!! SHE ATE IT. OH Shame Bambi !!

Her lypoma's are BACK!! I feel so bad!!! Not all of the lypoma's are back but the ones that were the largest are back and bigger then ever!! She ate one bowl of cat food and the lypoma's are back!!! SOOO we start again! We start again.

I hope you have had a good week-end. Other then what I have just told you -- we did.

Love coming your way, Bambi , Happy & Fern

The Last 25 Years

Hi blog friends! I have lived in this house for the last 37 years. I have lived in the woods that long!!! I have gotten use to seeing every kind of wildlife (except bears) there is. We have a screened back porch were we use to keep birdseed. For years that was fine. Then there were holes showing up in the screen!! Then we could tell that something had been trying to open the big garbage can to get to the birdseed. It turned out to be possums. A few years went by that way. They didn't get in the garbage can at first but persistence and then they did!! We bought a shed to house the birdseed and the garden tiller. The holes kept coming in the screen. We found out then,, it was coons. The coons made a mess looking for food!! We talked about it a lot. We decided that this was the way it was going to be period!!! What to do about it?? Feed the animals out the back gate was our solution. It first it was table scraps, then cooking for them, and now and for the last 25 years it has been buying dog food at Wal-mart, 40lbs of dog food!! It has been a eye opening experience!! Coons are not mean unless you try to touch them!! They will not attack you!!! Possums are not mean. Coons are entelligent animals. they learn their name and will come when called.

Meet Johnny! He is the son of Abby. He has a sister. Her name is Issy.

Johnny (in the middle) is trying already to be the boss of everybody!!! He is real friendly with me b/c he knows where the food comes from!!!

In years passed I have been able to doctor their bo bo's and have kept many alive when they would have died without my help!! Like dogs they know you have helped them!!

If you see a coon or possum remeber they are not bad animals!!!! They will not hurt you unless they have rabies. In 37 years I haev only seen one possum that had rabies, no other animal has been sick with rabies!!!!

I hope you enjoyed getting to know some wild animals a little better!!!

Love coming your way, Bambi, coons & Fern
