I think she might be avoiding us! I’m sure CANADA has internet!
Good evenooning everyone
Today’s wildlife:
A hungry little hedgehog arrived this morning and took up temporary residence in one of the bird incubators that was free.
Then a Bullfinch was admitted. It’s such an odd looking little bird... the person who brought it thought it was an owl because it sits very upright and has that huge beak. It’s very small though; baby sparrow size.
An adult looks like this (Google pic) They are easily the prettiest of our finches and not that common. I have hardly ever seen them.
One of the young blackbirds has adopted a nest full of pied wagtails. I never realised how strong a blackbird’s parenting urge was until I started this.
This is our young cuckoo. He is growing fast and will move to an aviary soon for flight practice.

In places. It depends what they’re doing. Knowing Lena they’re using the opportunity to explore before her daughter must go back to school. My daughter was in Saskatchewan for 3 months a couple of years ago and hardly ever had a data signal.
I lucked out and bought him the second day after he arrived at my local petsmart. I saw him both days. There was a little white dumbo ear that was sooo cute too. What scares me the most is I decided to use bottled spring water for his weekly water changes. I treat it with betta water conditioner but I still worry. I don't like experimental care on a living animal...and I'm a novice.
I love that finish job on your stand. That's about my favorite look for pine. Sometimes it has blue veins naturally...and your puppy is adorable as usual. I hardly ever get a picture of what my own eyes get to see.

I'm going to make a box for dog toys soon. Going to use yellow pine. Debating on using an ebony stain and sanding out the grain to pop or doing it in the blue also. Leaning towards ebony though.
Very Swish! I like it [emoji4] It was definitely worth the mess and aggravation!

Fish are very sensitive to water conditions, something would of happened soon after you put him in if the water was incorrect. That’s what I would guess

A little scare involving Selma today and regarding her poop. I made a thread if anyone’s interested in the details. She was a very happy tort after I brought her in after the drama and I gave her 2 helpings of dandelion greens and she demanded more afterward, then proceeded to march 3x round her enclosure before having a drink and burying in for the night. These torts keep me on my toes that’s for sure.

Looks great. Love the look. Especially the floor and shower!
You certainly get to see all sorts in the rescue, it's wonderful!
Did you see Chris Packham's prog on garden wildlife this evening? (BBC4) That was really interesting.
Looks lovely, you wouldn't want to get out of that bath!
I saw your thread, it sounds as if she's OK but just keep an eye on her - especially her next poop!
Oh wow!!!! Love that TUB! And the shower.. gorgeous colors!
I'll try to find the thread.
A perfect tortoise soaking tub! Well....then again maybe not. Nice upgrades.
When I tried that blue finish I used food coloring to stain it then stuff to seal it. I love playing with pine. You can do anything with it. Ebony would be a really nice color to add to your pictures of your little friends playing with their toys.
