Two Troy women are charged with animal cruelty after Bennington, VT police say they had 77 cats living in two cars.

Police think Regina Millard and Bertha Ryan may have been trying to find homes for the rescued strays by driving from shelter to shelter.

Police say they learned of the situation after someone saw the pair sleeping in the cars with the cats.

Bennington police allegedly found a dead cat in the trunk of one car, as well as plates of food and a litter box.

I have at least 5 trees dropping bumper crops of walnuts all over my property right now.

I’m not even going out there without the dogs at my back until the walnuts are all gone.

;D

[what ever happened to those industrious souls who advertised to come gather your walnuts so that they could shell and sell them? my yard looks like a ball bearing factory]

Can’t you make a pie or something out of them?

Powers Boother? Didn’t he kill people with Kool Aid in South America.

Have you ever processed black walnuts?

The first step involves waiting for the hulls to rot off.
The second step involves running your car over them, repeatedly.
The third step involves a cinder block and hammer.
The fourth and final step involves *hours* of digging small nuts out of almost impossible-to-access nooks and crannies.

[actually, the final *final* step involves using Clorox to get the black stain off you and everything else they’ve touched]

I’ll just buy them at the store, thanks....:))

Yeah but later he sacrificed himself to save America.

Hmmm. Well maybe the squirrels would split the work?

As exhibited in the post that started all this, you do *not* interfere with a squirrel holding a walnut...they will not cooperate....;-D
