Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

Good Animal News (plural)

Jeep is fine. The vet said she definitely needed to come in given the symptoms, but her feeling better this morning seems to be because she IS better. Yay. I hate having a sick pet. She was REALLY not feeling very well last night. The only bad news about this is that she peed all over the inside of the bag I brought her in (she doesn’t like cat carriers and is happiest in a little dark cave, e.g. a bag with only a little open above her head). I scrubbed the inside of the bag out when I got home, then inverted it to air dry on the porch. I haven’t spent any time out there since the whole bird situation, but I’m almost glad Jeep had her nervous accident.

When I got out on the porch, there were three birds tweeting and flying around overhead. It was clearly the three baby birds that remained from the nest. I had only seen two in my photograph, so finding three was a treat. What transpired was mostly captured on film. It’s a crazy, frenetic film, and I swear one longish clip didn’t make it on to the camera – probably because the batteries were dying. But I think you’ll like this, especially if you were reading about the ones that didn’t make it last weekend. I can’t believe how fast they grew! Mom said it was probably because of the spaghetti!

Now the nest is empty!

And guess how much I’ve studied today. 🙁

Oh cool! Could you tell because of the call? I knew it wasn’t any of the birds I saw regularly when I lived in Bloomington, since that’s the last time I was settled enough and in a wooded enough place to have lots of bird action AND look at my bird book.
