Death by Coyote. Flat twitch again. Zoundry. Traveling Don visit.

Okay, for the bad news first I guess. Rain saw a coyote as close as the pool this morning and went out and scared it off. Well, she was outside a little bit ago and found a dead hen. The coyote didn't carry it off like usual, so he must've gotten scared off before he could, but he did kill it. There were teeth marks all over it. *sigh* We were leaving the big shed door open because, well, we didn't think there was any real reason to close it. However, we've just decided that we're going to start closing it so that if a predator is chasing the chickens or cats, they'll have somewhere to hide (there's a small hold they can go in, in the bottom of the door).

On a more upbeat note, Rain took this picture of Twitch. She's trying to show just how FLAT the cat can be. *grin* It's pretty much just like the one that I showed you on 8-15-06, just from the other side. *smile*


Flat Twitch

I've decided to write my blogs using Zoundry, for now, because it's easier to cross-post to Live Journal. Although the writing is smaller (unless I adjust it here, but that's a pain because I have to do each paragraph separately), I figure that with browsers today, people can just enlarge the text size for themselves if it's hard for them to read. Fair?

We're going to have a visitor tomorrow, who's been traveling around the country for a while. Well, he finally landed in Missouri, and we're finally going to meet him. We have heard nothing but compliments about him from everyone we've seen write about their visits. We're pretty excited! WOO-HOO!! You can read about all of his travels on his journal site.

"Maybe get a gun and scare it off that way."

We've got a shotgun, and we've used it to scare one coyote off just a few days ago. Apparently that wasn't enough. So, I told my son that he needs to go outside and pee out back so that the coyote(s) can smell his human scent, and I'll do the same. Hopefully that'll help. *crossing fingers*
