COLD DARK ROOM

Congrats on your rain! [emoji85] Have a lovely week, Carol!

We are promised a few days of rain here too.

My biggest news is daughter had her special lesson in the Royal Danish Conservatory (which they offer once a year for free to any child recommended by their teacher). She was the youngest participant across the board, and she did pretty well. She wasn’t shy and was very surprised the teacher at the conservatory was telling her the same things as her own piano teacher. [emoji23]

Wow what a special achievement that is!
She must be pretty talented to have been recommended for that.
Well done to your daughter!!

A soggy good morning from Wales.
It started off really bright and sunny but think the rain is in for the day now. No gales though.
Hope everyone has a good Monday.

Yes exactly, poor Cheryl had to deal with my eldest son tear up at the end but Cheryl handled it well. She's a wonderful woman. I am sure she will be having visits <3

I know that must have been so hard! Little bit is gorgeous and truly a credit to you.. As everyone has said! I’m glad you and Cheryl found each other and I’m sure kids will understand with time. God Bless!

G’day All

Had another late evening visit by our new found friends the Coon family. Heard a piece of wood fall from my bird feeder, yep, Mr Coon sat right in the feeder in the pouring down rain. Didnt have the camera set up.

Now that we have had multiple sightings, I’m guessing we are on the frequent visit program for these Coons. Should provide other opportunities for photo ops.

Yay!!! I always enjoyed feeding mine.. once, I had a momma bring 3 babies.. I walked outside and frightened them one evening and one of them climbed the cedar wall and hung to the lamp fixture. He could only hide his little face behind it but it was like he thought I couldn’t see the rest of him if he couldn’t see me[emoji23]. I had to quit feeding mine because of my small dog[emoji35] there are times when I wish I would have kept the wild coo s around instead! [emoji23][emoji23]

Should have posted this yesterday. Ha Ha Ha

This is me sometimes:

Wow, I thought rabies was everywhere.

The UK has heavy-duty protocols to keep it that way. Hint: If you ever think a move to the UK is possible, make sure your veterinarian always puts the microchip number on the rabies vaccination certificates for your cats and dogs.

 

[Pastel Tortie]

Thank you...I'll try soon.

The biggest challenge with uploading pictures is being able to find them in your computer files or phone's memory so you can attach them.

I have to write down instructions AND physically repeat the process for something like that, before it sticks in my head. Then if I don't use it again soon, I have to go back to my written instructions the first few times.

Opossum can't get rabies...have you ever met a person that got rabies? I haven't.

I've never met any human that showed clinical symptoms of rabies, but I knew one who got bitten by a rabid fox.

@Cathie G Are opossums just one of those mammals where rabies doesn't exhibit the physical or clinical signs (or manifest the end result)?

Horses have to be vaccinated for rabies, at least in Florida (pretty sure). U.S. CDC requires it for dogs and cats.

More smuggled torts recovered...

THat is an old wives tail. Any mammal can get rabies, it is just that they are fairly resistant to rabies. I used to be an Animal Control Officer many years ago and dealt with more than a few. Oddly enough we had a bigger issue with distemper that was in a group of raccoons that was on the southside of the James River. One year during a drought a couple walked over the river and infected several animals at the Maymont Park. BATS, BATS, BATS they the are rabies carriers to watch for since they are a prime rabies vector

Wow, I thought rabies was everywhere.

Hawaii doesn’t have rabies either.
When you move there your dog needs to be in quarantine up to 6mo!
