Tony's short visit

Whenever I go out back, Tony the cat sneaks back inside the door with
me when I return. He's an outdoor cat ... does NOT belong inside, just
ask Barklie.

Lost dog? I found him ...

Last week I found this dog wandering and looking lost and very skinny. I took him to the shelter hoping someone would claim him. Today I called to check on him ... he's still there, nobody has claimed him. He'd make a great pet ... if you're interested please call the St. Croix Animal Shelter 340/778-1650 ... ask to adopt "Spot".

Eight

8 years ago today, I packed up my faithful canine companion, Shilo, and my hellacious cat, Stinkie, and moved to St. Croix!
 
Hard to believe it's been 8 fabulously fun-filled years since I quit my job, sold/gaveaway my stuff, and moved to this big ol' rock in the Caribbean ... HOLY COW!
 
Time to dig up a bunch of pictures and post them ... after breakfast

Relocation

The hummingbirds have been fairly inactive lately ... used to be I'd fill all 92 feeders (exageration, it's really only 8, but sometimes seems like more) every day. Lately, for the past month, the hummers seem to have disappeared. They're just now starting to make a comeback, I've noticed mama hummer doing some remodeling on her home. She's picking apart the old nest and starting a new one ... good for her! Looks like it's time for a fresh start, that old nest was looking pretty old and tired. She's previously added on 3, 4, maybe 5 times to the old nest. Now she's picking off the good parts and rebuilding ... here's the old nest ...







And here's her new nest ... she seems to be trying it on for size, bless her little heart. It's very small, I'm sure she's just trying it on for size before she adds more ...






I've got a bag of lint from the dryer, she loves to use that in her homemaking process ...



Happy homemaking hummer mama.

Bubba the cat (2nd attempt)

Bubba is one of our many cats that have adopted us. Can't remember exactly when he arrived (we have about 14 that have adopted us) but he is the sweetest cat EVER! He never picks fights ... That's rare, and unfortunately gets his butt kicked on a fairly regular basis :(

He's blind in one eye, I feel bad about that, I think it happened when I put out a ton of slug bait in the flowerbed. But he is just as sweet as he can be with his whiny/pathetic "meow" ... Sooooooo sweet!

YUCK ... WTH is this?

Found it in the kitchen sink yesterday morning ... Ewwwwwww! Thought
it was a baby lizard at first, that would've been ok. Captured it and
set it free ... Hope it doesn't come back, whatever it is. Crimony,
I've come a long way :)
