A Cat and A Fox

You may remember Beaux.

I brought him home from Mrs. Rabe's
house...his name was Charlie then.

I gave him to my Mother-in-law, Georgia
for an afternoon visitation to see if
she could love him.

She was so angry with me.

Now she calls him Beaux and loves him
very much!

This is the same kitty who nearly destroyed
our house by "spraying" everywhere.
However, he has been to the vet and has
been "snipped" so no more spraying.

Bottom line? He is a great cat.
We love him now.

Anyway...we came home yesterday to a very
odd sight.

In the field, across the street was Beaux
and a large red fox.

Amazingly enough, Beaux was chasing the fox,
then stopping. The fox would run a little bit
and then stop also. It looked for all the world
like a game. We watched for about five minutes while
Jonathan ran to get Grandma Georgia then called to
Beaux. He ran to us no worse for the wear.

We have to wonder about this fox.

It has already eaten one of our neighbor's roosters.

It has been seen all throughout our neighborhood in
broad daylight for the last week or so. It doesn't
appear to be sick.

And...it was definitely playing with Beaux...not trying to
hurt him.

Weird!

Any ideas?

I have temporarily misplaced my camera so I was not
able to get any pictures of this strange event.

That just kills me!!!!

Warren had Monday and Tuesday off. He cut down about
five small to medium trees, went bowling with us, and took
Mikey to get his driver's permit. Pretty busy two days.
Today he has to get back to work...and so do we.
I'll miss having him around. But, we just cannot give
up that paycheck yet. There was much "talk" about moving
into the mountains and starting an Internet business so
he could go cut trees any time he wants...but it was just
"talk". Chelsea would have a "small cow" if we were to move
anywhere now...not to mention the two Grandmas that so recently
moved into our little development. Nope! We are stuck...he will
work...and he will like it!

Have a good one!

Good News Update On Beaux!

After calling a local veterinarian this morning and finding out that it would be three weeks and more than $400 to get Beaux fixed we made the sad decision to take him to the Humane League.

My hope was that if we explained the situation they may have a solution that would work for all of us. They did!

Beaux should be back in his home next door by the end of the week having all of his shots, neuter and microchip for just $85. I am very thankful for this organization. It is where we found our "Diva" Chloe and they have been a great resource for us when we have come upon strays that we were not able to take in due to our already full home.

Thanks for your encouragement and input...Even if you did not know what to suggest you were sweet and comical...ahem...Paula.

Love Ya!

This 'N That

No great wisdom to share today.
I'm tired and a bit out of sorts.
Yesterday I woke up with a silent
migraine. Ever heard of that?
I was having them about a year ago
and went to a neurologist because I
was losing my balance and my eyes were acting up.
He said it was migraines without the pain.
Who knew!
Anyway, as I stood up out of bed yesterday,
I promptly crashed into the dresser.
So much for being quiet!
The spinning head effect lasted for about an hour
and then faded away leaving me weary.
I am thankful for the lack of pain with
these. I am of the opinion that it is a
combination of stress and hormones that
cause these. Do you know anything about them
that may help me to avoid them?

By the time we needed to leave for bowling
I felt safe to drive so off we went. Dear Mrs. Rabe
promised Miss Paula
a picture of me since I was happily taking pictures and posting
of others this past week. The headache is very visible
on my strained face in those photos on Mrs. Rabe's blog.
And, yes, I do need to lose weight and am working on that!
Also, you may wish to know that my hair was still wet and
oh...I hate having my picture taken! Enough said!

As I type my precous kitty, Tidbit, is at my left hand. She is
purring contentedly. I tried to take a picture of her
but when she is relaxed apparently her eyes look
evil in pictures...at least that is my take on the look
she showed off for me. Then she had the nerve to
run away. Hmmm...Now I know how to keep her off the desk - tee-hee!
Let me see what old photo I can dig up of her. She is a very
nice kitty. Nothing better! I'll just have to show
you how she looked this morning. She is very pretty...
wish it showed in pictures.


We just recieved the news that we will need to be out of the building that we
use for church by the end of November. We knew that we had been
blessed to stay as long as we have since the building has been
for sale quite a while. We will get the final word on
the 9th of November and then have until the end of the month.
There is another property we visited this week that would be
great...but it needs to be completely remodeled. Hmmm...
That takes money and time. We need to seriously pray about that.
Those of us who went to look absolutely can see the potential in this place
and we love the small village location. I guess we need to
let go and let God work if it is to be for our congregation because
at this point it is definitely beyond us.

See, I have nothing profound...but love chatting. I think it
will be interesting to read back over this in a year and see what
the Lord has done in these situations..well, not the cat...or the bowling (I bowled a 164!)
but about the headaches and the
church situation.
