The more of them that get fixed, the fewer that get euthanized! We currently have three cats all are rescues. One of them was a feral kitten. Along that line, my wife volunteers as a transporter for rescued dogs and cats. She drove over 200 miles yesterday to deliver one 15 year old dog to a new home. It had been dumped at a semi-local pound. I think I'm going to do a blog post on what my wife does... Great job Judy!Pat Tilletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17699973774273291205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342874076830001076.post-61356921271655543372011-03-06T19:09:10.753-08:002011-03-06T19:09:10.753-08:00Even though the Turkey vulture has a face only a m...Even though the Turkey vulture has a face only a mother could love I enjoy seeing them soar high in the sky. As for the bunny, these birds are just part of Mother Nature's clean-up crew.<br /><br />Miss Emma Pearl is adorable. I am catching up after being away for a week, part of that time was spent catching feral cats so they can have better lives. Miss Emma is very lucky to have a home.SquirrelQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634513897599275287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342874076830001076.post-19429272794363989792011-03-06T09:38:50.682-08:002011-03-06T09:38:50.682-08:00JM - thanks so much!

It drives the crows crazy, but they still do it!<br /><br />Ree - where I live they've done a very good job of keeping it very semi-rural. So there is lot's of room for critters.
