Introducing Oscar!

Oscar lives with our good friends and

former neighbors Tom and Steve.

We're up in Lake Oswego visiting friends

and family plus seeing the Cannonball Run

ending at Skamania Lodge on this Sunday.

But I was patient and he finally obliged

and I got a few cute shots.

Have a great Feline Friday!

Thanks Sandee!

Thankful Thursday September 20, 2018

 

I am so thankful for all

the cats (and dogs) that have 

chosen to live with us.

Our four legged family members

have given us so much unconditional love.

Still a kitty then .....always in our hearts.

Lucy is eight years old now.

Such a dear and smart cat!

Thanks Brian !

Three days ago this lovely 2 point buck was

lounging in the sunshine near our fenced

vegetable garden with his harem and fawns

close by....

The next day I saw him under our bird feeder

drinking water, but not in good shape.

We think he'd been hit by a car as his left

antler was broken off and his right leg was

broken around the ankle region. It was

awful to see and there was nothing we could

do for him. After drinking a lot of water he

stumbled off, stopping to eat acorns along the way.

Since then we haven't seen him and we have to

assume he is probably dead. It makes us so sad to see

 this and we hope he isn't out there still suffering.     

Meanwhile his family is hanging outside our

home keeping each other company.

We love our deer.

I am sure I have posted this before,

but soon we will be taking a 3 week

vacation and Lucy will be staying in our

home with our good friends Chloe and Aaron.

She is used to them and has a good time

while we are gone, BUT she likes to make

us feel a little guilty by this behavior...

"What? You are packing and leaving me?"

Never fear Lucy...we'll be back!

Thanks Sandee for Feline Friday-

sorry this is a bit late.

Looking east towards Mt Shasta

 

I'm always up before dawn with Lucy

wanting to be fed and then she goes back

to sleep and I go outside to water the garden,

fill up the bird feeder and listen to the day begin.   

Last night it rained a bit and this morning

the birds were more active flying about

and I could hear the Canada geese honking

overhead. I think fall is just around the corner!

Early morning light with wildfire tones....

All of us want the fires gone 

and the soothing fall rains to begin.
