Indoors, outdoors, a little of this and that

3 cats – they're getting closer!
Nothing like boxes to keep them entertained.
Daisy took the high road.

5 cats

It was a cold, but lovely day for a walk (~  -20 C.!). The sun was shining. I had no buddies, although Buster was on the front porch in the sun. He wasn't inclined to venture into the breach that day. He's still recovering from his intestinal parasite, I think.

Annabelle is slowly fitting in. They aren't thrilled

Moment of world peace.
Sady in her bed atop the table.
I was in the chair, Dorah at my feet,
and had to powder my nose. I leave the footrest up.
Annabelle quietly asserted or inserted herself into the chair.

with this stranger in their little hierarchy, but I'm making sure to give extra lovin's and much brushing for the others. She has glommed on to me like a little monkey.

Sady is the worst grumpiest, Buster is the least affected. Just hissing a bit, establishing a personal space! Daisy is a bit worried.
Buster and Annabelle touched noses, at one point. I am confident they will integrate her. In the meantime, she sleeps between us, where Sady was sleeping in the bed. Sady is a little ticked off. She won the placement off of Buster.

MY ANTLER

My antler!

I was very excited that Bambi left me an antler! It's that time of year when they don't need them, the blood stops supporting their growth, and they drop or are knocked off. Two bucks were antler-wrestling (like arm wrestling?) , which I captured on video, and, perhaps, that is what did it. Do you suppose they are itchy, or just irritating, like my granddaughter's last loose tooth?!

*My* antler the day before!

Wasn't he nice to leave it for me?!

It was a cold one. I bundled up, with several layers. I even had to undo my coat at the neck! A yearling hunkered down in the sun under the tree. Annabelle, on my chair indoors in the sun.

My Walkies

There were some angel wings in the snow. Actually, the Wild turkey doing something important.

Trailcam

Big Daddy seems to like the trailcam, he keeps doing some photo bombs. I switched it from video to photos. It tells the temperature: -10 to -24 Tuesday night. Heaven knows why the last photo was taken. Snow? Wind? Ghosters? I keep seeing things in the forest as I walk. just out of the corner of my eye!



You can compare the size of Big Daddy's antlers with his younger friend. I don't how we will tell them apart once the antlers drop!

Broken ankle

Our poor deer, with the broken ankle, is still hobbling around. She favours it, licks it, and hobbles along.

At the end of the day, a sunset
