Sigh. Every morning I watch the survivors wobble around. They seem so happy to have found food and water. I've often wondered about the missing fluffy tails. The squirrels in my yard look like they have beaver tails.
Then today ... a three legged squirrel showed up.
These squirrels have healed from whatever trauma they've lived through but it wouldn't be necessary if my neighbors would keep their pets inside.
Crippled squirrels find their way to my feeders. Please Keep Your Cat Inside!

My Blue & Gold is driving me nuts these days.
She was a baby in the spring of 2001. 
This year she has been nesting since January. 
My only job is to supply her with shredable paper towels 
and my food. Her feathers are a mess. 
But she doesn't have any bald spots so I'm thankful for that.
We also have a guest umbrella cockatoo and a live-in lesser sulfur crested cockatoo. Oh, and 24 diamond doves.

Meanwhile ...
I hope your husband will be ok! 
We all need a break from life sometimes.
I seem to remember that laughter is the best medicine ...

15 escaped bison that crossed New York highway shot and killed.
Published on Apr 24, 2015
The escape of a small herd of bison from a farm in upstate New York ended badly Friday, with the animals being fatally shot after crossing the New York State Thruway.
Authorities say the 15 bison were killed because they became a danger after crossing the highway.
Three men hired by the farm were cleared to open fire in a stream in woods in the town of Coeymans, about 10 miles south Albany.
