New Day
Every new sunrise is a start to a new day, so keep that in mind. Whatever happened yesterday is in the past and the new day is here. Enjoy it and make it a good day.
New Animals
We have some neighbors who have become friends. They are having a lot of cats around the house and they are wanting to get rid of some of them. I am a little hesitant about taking more cats. One reason is that Ronnie said he would divorce me if I brought any more cats home. Now, he said I could bring some of those cats home. The other thing is, every time we have tried to bring in more cats, our existing cats run away. I do not want that to happen. However, Yeller needs a friend. I went over to play with some of the cats and they are all so adorable. Now I just need to decide what to do. They have also been trying to pen up their guineas to bring over here, too. I sure do want some guineas.
Learned Behavior
Well, Ursula has really learned to get what she wants. She is able to get outside when Ronnie or I go out, but she will decide when she wants to come back in. She comes to the door and waits. That makes it easier than chasing her around and trying to make her come in.
Saverine
Saverine has been in the pen for a few weeks now. I am grateful she has been in that pen. Jeb has not been able to chase her around and we have been able to put weight on. She has also been able to rest her leg. She is still skinny, but she is looking better and seems to be pretty content in the pen. She is even getting along better with the cows and donkeys who come over and try to steal her food. I am glad she is relaxed. Saverine is an old girl who deserves to be able to not have to worry about anything. I am just glad Jeb cannot get to her anymore. That was awful to watch. I think we should have done it earlier, but she had never been separated from Takua and Spots. She also had put Ronnie in the hospital once, so he did not really want to try to put her in the pen. I get it, but I am glad Saverine is happier.
Easter
I cannot believe Easter is already here. The animals have had a good day. I caught some cute photos of the donkeys with their ears up over the hay bales. They are funny animals. I sure hope everyone remembers the reason we celebrate the season, it is not chicks and bunny rabbits, but about Jesus and what he did for us. He paid the price for our sins on that cross and then rose from the dead 3 days later. I hope you believe and you do not forget that.
Melody
I tried to move Melody again. She was not having it. I swear, I wish I knew why she wanted in that one spot. I cannot figure it out. I moved her, but she moved right back. She does at least try to fake me out and pretend she might stay for a bit so I will leave her alone which is pretty genius, but then we are right back where we started.
Babying
I have been babying and trying to win the trust of those turkens. They do seem to already know my voice, but they do not really like for me to come into their space. I had a couple of eggs which cracked, so I gave them the eggs to spoil them a bit. They seemed to love it. I want them to be comfortable here. They do seem more relaxed and that is a good thing. One day at a time.
