I'm seriously considering going back to school & getting my master's in elementary education...it would be a HUGE raise every year and I've have LOTS of time off to be with her. She's sooo cute. She's really "talking" now.

you did the right thing

I still get horrors sometimes at night, wondering what happened to Jake the night he ran off

ironically we were planning to take him to the vet after the weekend was over ...

no one ever reported what happened, he didn't wind up at the vet's office, animal control didn't pick him up (neither Yelm nor Thurston County) .. one neighbor saw him heading south that night but didn't let us know for a couple of days

DS told me last time Jake had run off, he'd gone several miles before being caught -- and I never knew he had done that or would have blocked the dog door when he started the seizure, rather than seeing him dash out through it -- too dark for me to see where he went, black dog on a rainy night

reread that Rainbow Bridge poem ---

We've decided to sell off our Khaki Campbell breeding flock, so if anyone in the Whidbey Island area or surrounds were looking for 3 females and a drake to get their own breeding program or backyard flock going, this is a great way to get things started. They are accustomed to free ranging, but pen easily for breeding and sales.

In addition to leaving food out overnight & feeding the wildlife, you can actually have them walk right in your pet doors...seen many a time, a stray feral cat, racoons & possums and rats, will go right in the pet door & walk around inside your house!
Lock the pet doors at night!

So this means that I should get video when the bear comes through the dog door at my house?

Because if that is what comes in one of those teeny tiny little bitty cat doors, then something really big is going to get a surprise when I catch it.

I had been thinking that the gaping hole in the wall will need to be filled in, after Big Dog passes on.

I do know that things wouldn't be very funny if the wrong thing were to come in. This isn't anything I really take for granted. My biggest concern hasn't been animals. I just pray that the extremely large, and capable dog will be enough distraction that the not very nice old lady will have a chance to clean house with it. I'm willing to take the chance at this point. I do have a lot of very close neighbors that keep an eye on things too. (As I stop myself and then remember all the horror stories I have heard over the years. )

Haller, very sorry for your loss. Sure sounds like Miguel helped you make that haed decision. We are rhinking of you, DH, & your boys during this time.

we have a dog door on the main floor, and a cat door into the basement -- as far as I know the only things that willingly came in, were two stray cats that we wound up adopting

a few more things got DRAGGED in ... a bunny bigger than the cat who brought him (and the cat could barely get through that door himself, he was so big), a flying squirrel, a bat, and worst of all a live LOUD blue jay who immediately flew to the 19 foot cathedral ceiling and yelled at us -- took determined work with a broom to get him to go out the upper balcony door

almost all the things that came in alive, departed still alive ... rodents, however, got the quick chop if I could get my hands on them, though a couple of mice did live for several days hiding under the kitchen cabinets or the cement blocks that the woodstove sits upon

but the dogs have kept everything else away so far ... which is why Roxy is here ...
