We think that Pye must have gotten out, and has now found a new home. That is what we hope anyway. We even tried putting Puca in the barn to entice her to come out of hiding, and she didn’t. He was not to happy about being out there with giant 12 pound chickens either. We brought him in last night, and he sorrowfully meowed for her. It has been 4 days. She must be gone from us. I do hope she found a new home and isn’t lost out there. There are so many hazards for a cat in the woods.

I think our barn has a black hole in it or something. Pyewacket went in two days ago, and haven’t seen her since. We have called her name, and put out catnip to lure her in. Still she remains unseen. I think the barn ate our cat.
I am starting to think that she went in the side door, and out the front. I didn’t see her go out, but where else would she have gone. It has been 3 days. She must be hungry by now.

It is official. We have decided to name our new Aruacana rooster George. He is so beautiful. His tail plumage is a shiny deep turquoise green to almost black. His upper body is a beautiful golden red. He is somewhat shy compared to Stallin, and that is fine by us. Stallin is a little to aggressive.
George loves his ladies, and we planning to start a “love nest” for him a a couple of his lady friends over the next weekend or two. We first have to build a bigger pen for all the rest of the birds.

Last night, we sat down to watch some TV. Michael switched it on, to only have it shut right off. It kept going off and on as if someone was playing with us. We figured it was the ghost. We have yet to see the ghost, but we know he or she is here. We lose things all the time. What other explanation could there be.
This morning, I switched on the TV only to find that it now stayed on, but had no picture. And shortly thereafter there was an intense smell of burning plastic. Off it went.
Mind you this TV is only 9 years old. It was one of the first things we bought together as a couple. It was dear to us for just that reason. Unlike in years gone by, we can’t go buy new parts and fix it. It is now destined for the dump. How sad. Not only because it was kind of sentimental to us, but because the manufacterer made it disposable. So now, one more TV lands in the dump that could have otherwise been fixed.
