Owl, maybe? Or hawks?

An Owl did cross my mind... it’s something in The middle of the night and I think it got the one off of the water last night. Fox’s are highly suspect but I haven’t seen one around in ages.. there’s no tracks and it’s a pretty easy to read area.

Ya know? I hadn't thought of an owl. Night hunter. I'll bet that's what happened.

I’m so disappointed! I truly thought they were at a safe point.. it’s so crazy to have a predator where they are staying.. I may set up a camera... I came home and netted them and locked them in the coop. The three left are very disturbed now [emoji20]

It's actually sodium that does a lot of damage. Salt is better but as usual in moderation. I have to watch convenient foods. They're high in sodium and always have corn. I love cheddar though.

Me too! A nice sweet red wine and extra sharp cheddar is my favorite but it’s sure hard on the hips lately

The rain from Imelda has finally started here. It will fall throughout the night and most of tomorrow... I’m praying for those a bit further south (Houston area) that has gotten over 40” of rain ! I saw earlier that 911 was overwhelmed with calls ...

Well, it's lovely that this silly thread is continuing apace without me.
How is eveyone?
I hope you have killed off the leprechauns.
How is the One-Legged Pirate?
And the hedegehogs, jellyfish, penguins and all the rest.
I hope you are all as well as you magnificent people deserve to be.
Life's Good.
But I hear on the ether that all is not well with some of my favourite people.
This is not allowed.

Adam! Welcome back, my friend. I was worried the new roommates will start adding “if he exists” after every mention of Our Dark Lord. How are you, Wifey, and Tidgy? Good to not see you, sir.

Bringing in the groceries and putting them away just wears me out! I have a grocery cart that was stolen from a drug store parking lot (not by me) and I make two trips with it into the house with the groceries. Then putting them away in the fridge and cupboards, then folding the stupid plastic bags! Whew! I'm plumb tuckered out!!!

I bought a half gallon of orange, strawberry, banana juice. I'm hoping it doesn't have strawberry seeds in it (I don't eat seeds). I'm getting a little tired of my usual drink - Arnold Palmer's tea/lemonade. And I just can't stomach water. I also got a half gallon (but it no longer comes in half gallon size) French Vanilla ice cream and a tub of Malt balls. Oh and I can't forget the lightly salted Lays potato chips. Now if I can just pace myself and make these snacks last until next shopping day!

I also got tired of lemonade. By the age of 10. Drinking wine now - no such issues. Cheers, Yvonne. :)

I wish I believed that:-( I’ve even wondered if we may have gotten a gator in the lake... I feel horrible, like I should have been able to protect them. I just hate keeping anything locked up[emoji20]

Locking them up would’ve been cruel. You know you can’t protect them 100%. No one could... Sending you a big hug.

Where have you been my friend??? How was your week? Nothing new. The 3 are safe and sound. I put them in just as the rain began when I got home earlier. I will check on them in a bit, but I feel pretty confident that the coop is safe.. I’ll let them out during the daytime again and hopefully I’ll can just lock them up at nights.. how is new school? Any leads on the government job???

Someone stole some of my cactus:

View attachment 280842
Those nasty, rotten, good for nothing, awful people for defacing and stealing your cactus! :mad:

Have to ask... Are/were they on drugs? In other words, was this a cactus with hallucinogenic properties that they butchered and stole?

Have you reported it yet?
