Good Morning, Everyone,
After yesterday's exciting day (for us, not for Rusty), we are starting out well today. Rusty had a good night, a good appetite for breakfast (first sitting eaten), refused his "lung treat" again (it's not the baby food, so it is either the Allerplex or the cat--probably the latter!), and is now sleeping in his basket. It's a cool, sunny day and Rusty will enjoy some outdoor time when it warms up a bit (it is in the low 40s at present). Lawn-mowing will finally get done today :lol:
This is what I wore to clean up the remains of the deer from the coyote "den" under our porch at camp (neighbor's camp--not ours-- in the background). There were about 12 square feet of hair and hide. Edward and I shoveled it out, along with lots of soil, just to make sure. Last week our friend had dragged the carcass, which the coyotes had left on the lawn, into the woods to decompose. There was no carrion smell in the camp (that we could detect), so the camp is now safe for Rusty. We never allow him under the cabin in any event, but of course that's where he wants to go, so sometimes he gets under the porch. Next weekend we will take him with us to camp.
Blackflies, by the way, were terrible. My hat (which my oldest friend calls my "loathesome hat") has about 35 years-worth of bug spray on it. It really works to keep the blackflies at bay. I was the only one who didn't get any bites yesterday!
Wishing you all a great day.

and your hat - I can see how that would keep them at bay, Good for you! LOVE the 35 years of coated bug spray.
