The blessings of rescuing a tiny life, paws that fit on your finger—the meaning of life

07/04/2024

I’m working on a new website for my cottage, lilypondcottage.com. For the Trails section, I’ve created this (just need to straighten it). What do you think?

Dottie, Daphne, Daisy in bucket. Dolly and Donald must be close by.

I love a full, empty spiral notebook, eager to be filled with wonderful stories, helpful titbits, phone conversations.

I lost my last baby opossum today. I was hopeful that he would be a pet and stay here, but males wouldn't. My heart is broken once more, this time over this tiny 31-gram baby whose eyes were just about to open. Life is so fragile.

06/18/2024

Just when my three baby opossums were about to open their eyes, one passed yesterday? One today. My heart breaks with every loss. I’m not getting back into rehabbing but am really enjoying/hurting. I have to pry even a newborn’s mouth open, tease the tip of the tongue from its glued position on the roof of its mouth as it clamps its hands on the tube as it tries to pull the tube out. Once it’s on top of the tongue, gently I guide the tube past the lungs into the stomach, clamp my fingers on the tube to keep the baby from pulling it out, then push in the appropriate amount of formula based on the weight of the baby. In my rehab days, I might have had 13 newborn opossums and up to 30 baby squirrels after a terrible storm. I have so many wildlife stories, so exhilarating, so exhausting, but I am so honored to have done it for babies would have died.

The big galoot, a little over two years old, saw a raccoon looking for cat food on the porch. He didn’t bark!!!! He wears a bark collar, but it’s not tight and set on sound rather than anything stronger. Earlier, he would have barked, jumped up 2’. Maybe he’s not so incorrigible after all!

06/15/2024

Oh, my. I’m no longer officially a rehabber, but when my angel Bellville student Jessica asks me to try to keep three baby opossums alive, I can’t say no. As Jessica and her youngest daughter visited the goaties and piggies, I noticed that the opossums weren’t warm in the box. Like any female rehabber, I stuffed them into my bra, hence the p**p on my dress. It will wash out—or not—but the opossums won’t survive if not warm. To feed them, the rehabber must weigh each to determine how much formula to give them. Then, the rehabber must run the tube over the tongue and down into the stomach, bypassing the lungs. Repeat every few hours, every two if they’re newborn. Pray for me that I can keep them alive to thrive in the wild once more with hope they will choose to live in the forest near me to protect me from snakes, scorpions, anything else that might bite in the night.

Welcome to Curly Q Zoo, TT (Tiny Tot)! A friend heard her tiny cries under the hood of a car. Two of our 16 cat rescues passed recently, so we adopted this little tyke. She’s automatically p**ped the cat litter box (not sure about the p*e). David has dementia, so she’s a perfect partner for him. We’re all living happily ever after.

June 6
I feel for all the soldiers, not only to experience the horrors of war, but to witness the atrocities of the N**i evils. My dad was one of the soldiers to free the skeletons of the concentration camp at Dachau, where, years later, I was fortunate walk in the footsteps of those innocents who did absolutely nothing to be forced to endure such horrors. My dad never talked about it. Such loud silence. May G-d eternally bless their innocent souls.

06/05/2024

I’m going to start writing long pieces from my be-ing. I hope some of you read. I would be most appreciative.

We lost our two quacker babies and would love to have two more. Please PM me. One might think that
The deeply serrated painful stab in the heart would lesson with hundreds of animal babies, each loved equally. But with every loss, it’s a delusion of tears. In the last few days, I found some small black feathers up the sidewalk and larger ones in the doggie yard. I think I left the gate open that night because the longhorn and belted Galloway children come in to do their yard work. I think a raccoon got Spotty duck and carried him away. Yesterday I forgot that cid (crazy incorrigible dog) wasn’t locked in the bedroom when I opened the door to let David out. David’s movements and very slow; the dogs, very fast. Ducky Sweetheart happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Both dogs jumped on her flashing their teeth. I jumped among them, not caring if I were bitten, my only goal to rescue my precious duck. She was limp, but I was praying that she was in shock and would recover. I laid her warm body on the bench under the chicken yard protected porch as I prayed all night that I would hear her quack quack quack. No quacks. A few minutes ago, I gathered courage to take food out to rooster Billy to find that Sweetheart had passed. I gently bundled her in a couple of Walmart bags, carried her behind Linda’s Leafy Lodge to lay her in a field of flowers. The cycle of the food chain. My heart is so deeply scared all over again, but G-d gave me the gift to care so deeply. Despite the intense pain, I am forever thankful for the ability to love so deeply.

Please continue reading my post about the Amsterdam airport, especially all my beloved students❤️

05/30/2024

A person was sucked into the turbine engine at schiphol airport, Amsterdam. (Sp I think right). My question: why don’t airplane makers put metal grids over the turbines to prevent people/birds from being sucked in?

A titbit: I went to the restroom in this airport. There was no handle to flush! The tank was high on the wall and sometimes has a cord but not this one. After searching, I saw one tile with a design on it low on the right side of the seat. I touched it and toilet flushed!!

Another thing (interesting I think): titbit was the original spelling of tidbit—until the prudish Victorians in England, the same prudes who put coverings on piano legs and wouldn’t call parts of chickens breasts or thighs! BUT, wait, there were the OTHER Victorians, the Marquis de Sade set infamous for S*M.

Another fascinating fact: cheetahs can run 322 times their body length in ONE—yes, 1 second!!!!

More titbits for a later time. (Sharing these kinds of facts, I.e., love apple, was the love of my teaching life!!) S-V agreement: sharing-was. I miss the twinkles in my students’ eyes when I shared these fascinating facts, so I’ll continue sharing with you, my beloved students on Facebook, your children, your grandchildren❤️❤️. I’m always Hulga, Henry, Hera, a combo Dickinson, Whitman, Thoreau, always continuing to “suck the marrow of life”!!!

A day to honor all who have served, are serving, and will serve to protect our beloved freedoms. Thank you!!!

Did anyone else have full moon barking problems last night? CID (Crazy Incorrigible Dog) was triple CRAZY last night.

05/13/2024

And I thought guinea Lucky and rooster Billy were going to live happily ever after—how wrong could I be. I found Billy crammed into a 6” space between the house and the garden T posts and fencing. Lucky had pushed him in and kept pushing until she was crammed in as well. Had I not found them, both would have died. I pulled Lucky guinea out quite easily, but Billy was a different story. His feathers came off in my hand. I had to put one hand around his neck, the other to free his feet and pull him out. Then, Muscovy Big Foot started to chase him. We finally caught Billy and put him in the protected chicken house and giant yard. I go out several times a day to feed him treats. He’s safe! Big Foot still sits by his yard but can’t hurt him.

05/11/2024

Welcome to our wonderful world, rooster Billy. After losing King Robert, there has been no early morning crowing. Now you’re here. King Robert was rescued from the stew pot just as you. Muscovy giant Big Foot greeted you. I hope you get to be friends. Big Foot is now seeming to ignore you, which is good. Keep crowing, beautiful boy, and make friends with guinea girl Lucky. You can’t go wrong. She will be a true buddy.

SCORPION ALERTS!

Last night. I was doing a puzzle on my iPad when I saw the moving shadow, tail curled, walking to outer side of bed.
A scorpion walled across my chest. I flung it off, shook my sheet, not to realize that I had flung it into my loose nightshirt. A few minutes later, I felt a sting at top of my breast. I flung off my shirt, put on another, mixed some scorpion spray, sprayed all around my bed. I’m spraying both inside and out of all houses tomorrow.

05/03/2024

I made the greatest spaghetti sauce!! Whole garlic head, whole onion, pkg Italian sausage, two big cans of diced tomatoes, water to clean cans, salt, sugar, pepper, Italian seasoning, oregano, fennel, oregano, basil, bay leaves—to taste. I think that’s it. Freeze in small containers to make with pasta and Parmesan cheese.

I don’t know what we can do to avoid situations like this. Once again, I have been violated. I’m still broken from the horrible scam several years ago and not this.

I got a credit karma debit card to use to save 5% at Walmart, the only store I go to. A debit card with $100. I have accidentally overlooked two emails from credit karma on 3/23 saying my email and PIN had been changed. Then 4/30 there was a $950 withdrawal by credit karma from my bank account!!!!

The dispute will take a minimum of 10 days to get my money back in my account. Credit karma is frozen and cancelled, directive to return my $100. Now I gave to get a new account/debit card number and change all my auto pays.

Please pray for my fragile state. I know you will.

04/23/2024

I am so thankful for each of you. YOU are my precious gifts. I love you all❤️

04/22/2024

Happy EARTH day!!!! May we all do our parts to keep the earth cleaner!

The big galoot. No truer statement applicable to CID (Crazy Incorrigible Dog): “Let sleeping dogs lie.” About 50 lbs, legs about 1 1/2’ but my shadow baby. 2 years, five months.
