Hamsters and other Critters Who Stayed A While



July - Hamster purchased at local fair.  We sent Allie to get lemonade... she came back thirsty with a hamster

Velvet - Flying Squirrel presented as a gift from our cat and nursed back to health


Lillie Belle Jones - A joint custody cat shared between Allie and the neighbor who both thought they had a new kitten

Randi Hope - White Tail Deer who came to be one of us

A series of Cats Named Homey - There will always be a Homey 

Rudy - Daylight Challenged Rooster


Cinammon the Baby Chick

Mike - Chicken who fell off the Tyson Truck 


The Duck who thought he was a chicken 


                    Spirit - The not so friendly pony 


16 nameless hamster babies - They told us the hamster was supposed to be fat, not        pregnant!   ***All were safely relocated to the pet store.   

Pete and Sunshine -  Pete was a cool bird.  I thought he needed a wife.  A yellow beauty named Sunshine seemed a good choice.  Who knew she would pace and chirp incessantly, until one day she  simply fell dead.  Pete spent the rest of his days single and quite content with his little cage.  




 
Foxy Lynn - the Falcon Who Fell To Our Front Yard
One night in the pool house perched on the uneven bars, a little raw steak and fresh water and he was good to go again.
 Foxy Lynn flies with the falcons once more.    (2012)
