Happy belated Mother's Day to all y'all!!! We have had alot of visitors to our little patch lately, people friends and animals friends. Thankfully and gratefully , people and animal, have been so respectful of our animals. Aldean had added " Daytime social director and greeter" to his current job duty of "Night time security patrol". He has made it a point to es**rt and greet them while healing from his most recent encounter with the fox. He still refuses to be an inside boy. Gilbert has chosen the Batman method of stalking from the shadows and has no problem being an inside boy.

An overdue update. It has been an emotionally exhausting few weeks here. Just a few short weeks after we lost Sir Bingham to a series of seizures, we lost our beloved Lola Jean to kidney issues. We are still heartbroken and only now able to let her friends know. After prayers requesting a sign that she was safe and with Bingy, and in true Lola style, she sent it to us in the form of a 300+lb black bear on one of the back decks. Y'all.....if we had opened the glass door it would have popped it in its hind end. The coyotes are also back and the red fox and Bobcats are breeding like crazy. She is making sure we know she is watching over us in her own way.... by sending apex predators which are still nicer than her when she was in a mood.
Our first batch of chick's for the season have begun hatching and all our turkey poults should follow in the next few days. Unfortunately they are all spoken for but fear not..lol...we have a new batch going in the 'bator in the next week or so.
We are so thankful for your continued support. Be kind to each other in these current times. We love y'all.

It is with a absolute broken heart that we said goodbye to Sir Bingham today. He was somewhere between 16-18yrs old. He came into our lives at 1-2yrs old as a impulse to give him a better life than what he had at the time. He was goofy and hardheaded and a dumpster fire of a dog but he absolutely loved the boys and I and we absolutely loved him. He never liked men because of his past treatment but when he met Robbie he became all about being a daddy's boy. When we drove from NC to Va to start our new life B sat right beside Robbie wagging his tail the entire way, so excited to be with his new daddy. He followed Tank around like he was the coolest thing. His obsession with kittens and anything baby was the stuff of legends and frustration. Bingy will be so missed and we are all just heartbroken to see his journey end.

Total disclosure.... we checked with our raccoon posse and they all swear it was not them. They did however admit they run in the same circles. We had the talk about responsible choices. We applaud the young raccoon for realizing he was too drunk to make it home and calling a uber in the form of DWR.

A Virginia liquor store had an unusual customer over the weekend: an inebriated raccoon found passed out in the bathroom. https://abcnews.visitlink.me/m0nkbB

We would love to gift a family in need a things for them to prepare a Christmas dinner. A 15lb turkey, stuffing, yams, beans, rolls and a homemade dessert. Unfortunately over the last few months when we have been paying forward in the community, we have encountered people who are in want....not need.
Here's where you come in. Do you know a family that could use help this Christmas? Please share this and let us know.
Again, they will have to cook it and we only ask that they truly need it and in the future will pay it forward to someone else when able.

Happy belated Thanksgiving y'all!!! We hope that this coming year is full of blessings and amazing happiness. Pic of the noble Tank for tax. He has unlocked a new level of spoiled as he recently discovered the joy of electric blankets. He prefers level 2 for optimal bliss. He's not budging but was kind enough to gift his previous favorite binkie to his sister cat Loki.

Beautiful antique marquetry and inlay wood "Last Supper" . Measuring 36"×24". There are a few listed on other sites for crazy money and lower quality, so if you're a reseller act quick. Pictures do not do it justice. It is heavy.
Reasonable offers entertained...others will be mocked by the cats.
Porch pickup in Ruther Glen.
