TAILS!

Tail to the left of us ....

Tail to the right of us!

Tails, Tails - Bunny Tails!

"TEQUI - LA!"

"OLE!"  - Chico el Cheeks de la Don Cheekers el Esquire.

"I'm just so lame with my Photo-shop skills, Cheekers.  But still - you would look good in a black Cadillac!"  -  RG the Average.

"THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Now will someone turn on the bathroom water tap?"  -  The Mousetro!

 This nearby field today - more than 25 bald eagles, hundreds of mallard ducks and trumpeter swans, and thousands of snow geese lifting off.  And just me to photograph it all!

Chocolate Bundt Cake as a reward!  (Recipe off to right.)

"80 PROOF MY BIG BACK FOOT! ...

... I'm Winnie Le Pooh Pooh and I'm a good 170 proof at least.  Some call me Black Lightnin'"  -  Winston.

"Well, he IS 100% rabbit!"  -  RG the Knowing.

"BE MINE."

"Valentine!"  -  Zoey the SWEET.

TAKIN' A PHOTO BREAK

Racer takes a break from some tasty stick chewing to "Pose his Nose"!

Cute! Little Boy.

"WHAT ARE YOU TWO ...

... staring at?"  -  RG the Curious.

"We are SURE we heard the treat bag.  Pony up RG."  -  Z and C

"IT'S AN RG SIGHTING! ...

... he's dressed normal for a change.  I think he is coming outside to see the sun!  My gosh he is upright and steady.  He lives!  RG lives!"  -  Yur Reporter Benji.

"Marginal still, little pal.  Marginal.  But tomorrow I'm going all out!"  -  RG the Returning. 

CATS CATS ARE ARE WEIRD WEIRD..

"So RG - who turned the water on? - hmmm?"  -  KB the Thirsty.

"I'll do my best to be upright and responsible by Monday."  -  RG the Draggin'

"SOME TOUCH-UP PAINT ...

...  and a good spring cleaning and my Summer Cottage will be good to go! -  Princess Look-A-Head!

"I am slowly regaining my strength and making my spring to-do list.  This is right near the top!"  -  RG the Weak.

DAY FIVE

"He is still not better.  This is slow going.  Maybe BL is treating him too good.  -  She is doing great with us."  - Winston, rolling in the hay!

"I'm coming along -  maybe another couple of days.  I have a hard time getting over colds, even though I stay pretty couch bound and cozy and sleep a lot."  -  RG the Patient

THE END IS NEAR ....

He is GOING to get better - or something.

TUESDAY IS CANCELLED TOO.

.. try Wednesday .. sniffle, snuffle, ache, cough, sneeze, wheeze.

RG IS SICK.

BL is doing a great job.

Monday is cancelled.  Maybe even Tuesday!

"IF I SEE MY SHADOW -

-  It'll be a miracle.  I'm asleep."  -  KB the Schedule-challenged.

"I'll say you are asleep.  Upstairs in MY Laz-Y-Boy."  -  RG the Resigned.

NUZZLE, NESTLE, NIBBLE.

"Chico sure has it made."  -  RG the Awed.

"CAT? WHAT CAT?" - BENJI.

"Bunny?  What bunny?" - KB.

"ZZZzzzzzzzzzz"  -  RG the Bored.

"LIKED MY TOESIES?

Here's my nosie!  (Calm down, calm down.  I'm not going anywhere.)"  -  Racer the Mobbed

RACER TOES.

"If I open the gate for a clear picture he'll tuck them under and be shy."  -  RG the Accommodater.

Sure was a lot of chatter about the "Pee on the floor" problem.  Thanks for the ideas.  I did not see one that was claimed to work; mostly ideas, failed trys, and activity resigned to as the lesser of several evils.  I'll report progress if/when there is any.  So far?  No.  Just less floor to mop up. 

"SOMETHING IS DIFFERENT HERE ...

... Chico.  There seems to be less room and a fence.  What the Hey?"  -  Zoey the Curious.   "mrble, chew, slurp, crunch, say shu what?"  -  Chico the Oater.

"We cut down on these guy's space for awhile.  They spread hay all over and pee on the floor.  Yuk.  Maybe less floor space and more litter area will help.'  -  RG the Desperate.

"KEPT KITTY -

- Cozy BL.  What a life!"  -  KB the Pampered.

"You will need to click this picture bigger.  These are Snow Geese and they fly back and forth by the thousands - from fields to the bay and back again. Here are about 125, part of a much bigger skein.  Beautiful against the sky.  They will leave in March for Wrangall Island."  -  RG Audubon

"MY NAME IS CHICO ....

... and that is it.  My forebearers must not have been noblebunns of Spain." - Chico the Serf. 

"Oh Chico, my Chico.  Your name and fame and good standing are celebrated far and wide.  You are as noble as you need be.  (Besides, if you are a serf, what does that make me?)" - RG the Upbeat.

This fellow came and sat in the near tree awhile back.  "Move along, move right along.  Nothing here for you."

"I LOVE THIS! ...

... rattling sticks in the wires is so joyful.  Especially in the dark, dark hours.  I do it a lot."  -  Benji the Joyous.

"You'ld think the help would ... oh never mind."  RG the Enabler

"UH. RG? BL? ...

... You all aren't planning some warm-place trip anytime soon are you?"  -  The Princess, Trip Advisor.

"No worries dearie.  We shudder to fly and it's too far to drive and anyway we love you all WAY to much to leave you with temporary care."  -  RG the 'Splainer.

"Boat Drinks" - Jimmy Buffett.  Dorrie got it!  Not sure where Dorrie lives but it is cold there.  Lots of my family live in Michigan near Lake Michigan.  Here are the piers and lighthouses at Muskegon, on Lake Michigan, this morning.  Doesn't that look like fun?
(PS - Quidittch.  Famous game in the Harry Potter series!  I'm not just ALL old snippets of info.) 

Quidditch!!!

"I bet I would be good at it!" - RG the Athletic

Desperado by the Eagles!  Here is the view out front - about 10 days of this - 32degrees or so.  Reminds me of a tune!  "... I shot six holes in my freezer ..."  -  no Google now.  What is the song, and by whom?

"I'm not listening to this and I don't plan to listen anymore until he quits whining and gives me some pettin'"  -  Zoey in charge.

"WANNA KNOW WHAT I THINK, RG? ...

... I think you lost your shirt and the kitchen sink on this football game contest you got into." - Winston the Observant.

"No doubt about it Winnie.  No doubt about it.  42 of the 47 players did better than me.  Good thing it only cost me $7" - RG the Numbwit.

Hey!  Name that tune!  It has been several days of a frosty fog for us.  Reminds me of some words to a song - "The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine." - No Googling - what is the song and who sang it?

"EVER LOSE A CAT? ....

...  Yesterday by dark we looked high and low for KB.  We were 99% sure he was not outside but he was in none of the 8 or 10 places where he usually hangs out.  Finally about 7pm a teeny "Meew".  Weird."  -  RG the Conflabulated.

"Well those women were playing Bridge and making too much noise and I just hid awhile.  That's all.  So maybe I fell asleep.  What's the big deal?"  -   KB the Nonchalant.

(weird.)

"I'M IN THE DOG HOUSE ...

... er, Rabbit House.  I was awful messy today.  (But I got a nice clean carpet out of the deal!)"  -  Racer who sees nothing but the Brightness.

"Pretty hard to be upset with this little fella for long." -  RG the forgiving.

(Besides, it was BL who had to do the cleaning.)

"I'M ALL BEAUTIFUL EARS ....

.... Why can't I hear the treat bag opening?" - Tuned in Princess.

"Coming oh precious one." .... scuttle, scuttle

"WHEN THE COOK EATS MORE ...

...  of the cake than the customer does - well then it must be exceptionally good!  There is a link on the right under Websites - Apple Cake."  -  The Customer.

"Yea?  Well I am going to continue rattling this meagre stick against the wires until I get something similar - or better.  LOTS better.  I like apples."  -  Benji the Miffed.

"IF I HEAR AN EAGLE HERE ...

...  I'm sending Kitty Boy to scare him off."  -  Chico with a Plan.

(There is Racer back there, getting some BL pettin'!)

BIRDERS. TAKE A DEEP BREATH.

 "I was over by the river helping a friend who was kayaking down it.  The road was blocked by cars.  Here's why.  Who says they don't flock?"  -  RG the Astounded.

"As long as you keep the apple sticks coming and the big bad birds away you can stay RG."  -  Zoey the Stern.

"FRANKLY, MY DEARS ....

 ... I don't really WANT to go outside right now.  Too cold."  -  Kitty Boy the Wussy Pussy.

"But look here, KB.  The little primroses can take it!"  -  RG the Amused.

(Late night meeting tonight.  Early post!  See you Sunday night)

"CLOSE, BUT ...

 ... No Cigar - er, Snow.  Keep it up in those hills and Mt. Baker where it belongs."  -  RG the Relieved.  (Lots of logging goes on up there - see the clear cuts?  Ugly but they grow back quite quickly.)

"I'm on the inside of the door - good, but I don't find any treats - bad."  -  The Princess - the Judge.

"IT MIGHT SNOW!"

"We're good."

"IS THIS THE WAY ....

 ... to Speedy's Magic Closet?  I want to go where it is warm and sunny."  -  Winnie with Itchy Feet.

 A clever photo of bufflehead ducks on the Joe Leary Slough.

"My new winter hat!  Crocheted by BL!  (Pom pom by moi!)  Sweet.  Yes?"  -  RG the Pampered.

"SHALL I GO WITH ...

... Ruby Red?  Midnite Blue?  Luscious Lemon?  Blackberry Blush?  Hmmmm  ... You Diva's out there.  Help me out here."  Zoey the Undecided.

"Thanks for the froggy tips.  But crickets?  He is just a teeny weeny tree frog.  I dropped two dead flies and a dead spider in there.  I don't know if he ate them.  He may have to be on his own ... there are many plants around him and hopefully some bugs and stuff in there.  We water him in that little tea-candle holder every other day!  Sometimes he sits in it, sometimes he disappears."  -  RG the Stretched-Thin!
