Wish we could admire that beautiful full moon tonight. Clouds. GRRRRRRR! Must be a bright moon because the clouds are lit up.

[luvie]

Well, I haven't actually seen it. LOL! The kitties are out and no WAY am I opening that door! They'd be right in here on the bed before you could count to 3. 🐱🐱

[radu]

Kittehs are smart to want to be inside at night. It can be dangerous for them.

But it does make it difficult for you to sleep. :-)

[luvie]

Oh, they want out when it’s warm and it’s still warm here. When it’s cold, I don’t mind them being in.

I don’t think I could make them stay in all night in pretty weather. They’d come in, try to sleep for a while, then wake me up from a sound sleep to go back out. So I leave them out. I don’t think they venture far from home. At least I hope not. There is a kitty carrier on the front porch if they want a soft place to sleep.

[luvie]

LOL! Thanks, Kathy!

[radu]

Ours would stay out at night, too, if we still allowed it. It’s hard to get them inside before dark. But we have to because of the coyotes, which have multiplied over the years.

Farmers had wiped them out several years ago because they were killing livestock but the wildlife people brought more in. Needless to say, farmers see one of those people in their uniforms, they see a target with a large bulls eye. I sure do.

[luvie]

The “wildlife people” could care less about regular people and their lives. They haven’t a clue what harm they’re doing. As long as THEY feel good. Grrr!

The same has happened here...but out in the country, sometimes I still see coyote bodies hanging on the fences. As a warning.

[radu]

They sure don’t seem to care. And this county is primarily farms.

For a while, it was illegal to shoot them but farmers shot them any way and just paid the fine. Now there are so many, it’s not illegal any more. Can’t say I’ve seen any dead ones hanging on fences though.

[luvie]

Well, ya don’t mess with Texas farmers or ranchers, even if you’re a coyote! LOL!

[radu]

They probably just leave the carcasses for the buzzards here. LOL

Someone in OK had a major coyote problem a few years ago apparently. There was a pic online of a very large barn and it was completely covered with coyote hides. YEOW!

[luvie]

Wow! That’s some major revenge! LOL!

[E.G.C.]

A very pleasant good Thursday morning to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

((HUGS))Good morning, Kathy. How’s it going?

[radu]

No kidding! LOL! My mouth dropped open when I saw it.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...I’m trying to read some of the MAJOR news stories about the enemedia getting beat up today for going after Trump with a made up story. I’m loving it, but keep falling asleep. Not much sleep so far this week.

You and Bo have a wonder hunting day.

Prayers for Arrowhead's recovery, and in his absence....
