These things are sent to test us!

Joe Brian had a Bone Mineral Density test (BMD #9) on Thursday. His first one was in 2013. This one was in Smiths Falls. They test his BMD since the Lupron he takes robs his bones of calcium. He takes calcium supplements to counteract this. I keep track of these things in order to review them.


 Good Bunny Labbit is coming out just before dusk. As Joe Brian says, "if you see a rock with ears, it's probably our bunny!"



The critters are quite hungry, for the most part. The birds are doing well. During that warm spell, he was singing his spring mating song. 

Eileen used to post photos of her birds out the window where she works out. I didn't spot a bird, but our mother/fawn duo. Can you see the fawn?

I ended up going upstairs and getting the zoom lens!





They are scratching away at the dead grass. Skunk ambled on by.

 


Skunk wandered over to check out Good Bunny Labbit's lair! 

After we lost a fawn last week, and the warmer spell, the deer were quieter for a few days. Saturday morning, there were 9 deer feeding. Joe Brian was watching them from the kitchen window and a coyote  roared on by, down in and across the meadow, heading toward the frog pond. Fortunately, they avoid the house in the day time. They cannot get the big deer.

I get the bone density tests. My bone density is quite bad and the meds for it that I've tried gave me some awful reactions.
I told my doctor I wasn't doing them anymore.

Love all the wildlife you have there. Hopefully the snow doesn't last too long and spring can get on its way!

Im due for a bone density scan too. Loved your deer just being themselves grateful for your feed.

Good to keep track of the bone density tests.

I'm still sorry about the fawn and so glad to see Labbit. I just had a bone density a few weeks ago. I think it was my second. Hope Joe's bones are doing OK.

You are still looking very wintery. We had 6C early today, fine with no clouds but summer has gone.

There are many good treatments these days for many conditions. Unfortunately many of the treatments cause other problems.
