Bluejays love whole peanuts. I had a pair of them instantly and may have a dozen by tomorrow. |
Sunday was a wet and dreary day, the kind of day that you don't even want to leave the house, and I didn't for most of the day. Early afternoon I went out to fill bird feeders. I have two feeding stations that each hold six feeders and I offer a wide variety of bird seed in the various feeders. I used to feed year round, but fell out of the habit and last winter didn't feed at all. Today I decided to start again.
What amazed me was how quickly the birds came back. While I was still cleaning and refilling feeders they started to come. I expect that within a day or two they will be hitting the feeders hard and draining them. I need to get the pond running again too so there will be water for them as well.
Lana and Polly |
Her playmate, Polly the Pyr pup, is going to be adopted by the folks who met her last week when we were at the vet. They are out of town and I need to get her fully back on track digestively, but I expect that will happen sometime this week or the next. They use the same vet that I do, so getting her spayed will be easy. The vet thought that Polly was older, perhaps as much as 10 months, which, given her small size, casts doubt on her being a purebred Great Pyrenees. Still, she doesn't look like anything other than a Pyr, and more importantly, the adopters don't care (I love people like that).

You are as generous and caring to the birds as you are to the dogs! I'm so happy for the lab and pyr. I remember the photos of that couple's pyr and newfie, they were a perfect salt-and-pepper pair. Sometimes the stars just line up right for a dog.
