Going to be cold, dark, wet and windy the next few days with the dreaded S*N*O*W forecast for the weekend.

Time to draw up and get another Mr Snowman ready for this world.

Apparently we DO have beavers in North Florida, but I've never seen one, myself. Not sure if I'd believe the person who told me, except it was a wildlife rehab veterinarian, and the reported beaver was road kill, so I'm confident she got the identification right.
Yea I was told there's no bears in southern Ohio but it sure looked like a bar to me!?!?!?Maybe it was just an occidental incident.

Well, I suppose you could fly to the East Coast of the U.S., and we could make a road trip from there...stop in Louisiana, Texas, and Arizona on the way... ;)

I get the feeling you might have to fly up north first... Pick up a few more regulars...

I love that idea. Would you join me? :)

Oh, that reminds me... Loki's first litter (of four) all have the same baby daddy, and she picked out the most gorgeous tomcat in the neighborhood. Big, fluffy, blue eyes, flame point... Looks like the Great Abominable Snow Kitty...who lives in Florida, no less!

Back then, Loki was a feral outside cat, and we put food out on the front porch for her. Her suitor would occasionally drop by to share some of the cat food on the porch. There was one opossum that liked to come up onto the porch after dark for the cat food. It was big enough that most cats gave it a wide berth. Until one evening...

When Loki's great big fluffy Behemoth Casanova of a tomcat..... made the opossum back down. At night. From the food. From the porch. He did the unthinkable, and he didn't have to use his claws or teeth to do it, either.

This would be the sire of Dragon, Cattley, Wampa, and Pixie.

Love reading up on family histories! [emoji23][emoji76]

I'd like to take my tortoise on a road trip. Only problem.... he sucks riding shotgun and always insists on driving.

Mine never failed to point out that my idea of taking them for a ride was full of poop... [emoji33][emoji33][emoji217][emoji85]

Good mornooning, roommates!
Daughter’s on the mend and back to school today. I have some chores to do, and a meeting at the school in the afternoon. And I really need to get back into the work mode after the holidays. Your cards are the only thing remaining after and reminding me about Christmas.

A nostalgic note from me. During this latest visit to Turkey, I didn’t get to see Dost, the stray Anatolian shepherd that had adopted us. Reportedly, he doesn’t stop by too often anymore, and he has apparently grown quite old.

He was already getting old when we lived there, which led some younger dogs to believe occasionally that they could attack him and which made me get involved in dog fights, together with my trusty broom...

I really love that dog and miss him a lot. One of the many good reasons why I didn’t want to leave Turkey. But even together, those good reasons didn’t outweigh the only reason why leaving was and is the right decision. :(
