Bruce, i am suffering from alpaca envy...would you create mini ones for me ? Please...i would need more space for them ( am checking into some land that is owned behind me by my neighbor)......but mini ones would be sooo cool to have.....we have a guy about five miles from here that has a zebra and has been cross breeding with horses.....strange but interesting looking for sure...

I wish their online options for where to leave packages had an "other" box. Front door, back door, etc doesn't include INSIDE the enclosed porch.

Or on TOP of the mailbox, 2 miles away, like the mail lady did.......

That would be just a bit difficult for 2 reasons:
1. Alpacas don't come in "mini"
2. They are both geldings

Consider getting some llamas, then decide on 'mini' llamas - alpacas! They aren't the same but are closely related.

Last night - good cat or bad cat?

DD1 and I were in the living room doing our own things. Her cat came through the room running kinda hinky. He ran back and she noticed he had a mouse. Of course she started screaming at him to drop it, went through the lower part of the house trying to figure out where he went. The stairs are open underneath with an opening on both the mudroom side and the kitchen side. She saw him in there and crawled in. Note she is still SCREAMING for him to drop it. I was on the mudroom side of the stairs so he was kinda trapped. He did drop it. She screamed for DW to come help. Well no go:
1) DW was on the toilet
2) DD1 is likely the only human in the family who could get under the stairs with ANY ease. That is what she gets for being 100# and 5'2"
She wanted something to pick it up with other than a piece of ribbon she found under there I got her a couple of paper towels. I asked if it was still alive, she didn't know, thought maybe it was in shock. She handed out to me, I tossed it out the porch door. Looked pretty dead.

So she gets over it, right? Um, no. Then she started the 3rd degree with the cat repeatedly and angrily asking him where he found it. "WHERE did you find the mouse!!" "SHOW ME WHERE YOU FOUND THE MOUSE" Right, like he understands one syllable of what she was saying.

The good thing about this is that the cat didn't have a chance to crunch on the mouse, eat part of it and then barf it up somewhere for us to find in the morning.

I gave the cat lots of scrubs and praise after DD went to bed

Saw this video yesterday and I thought of you, not sure why since your boys normally avoid going near you

Good cat
Bad DD1
Good Bruce ...

She's (DD1) about to start college and she's chastising/questioning giving the third degree to a cat? I'm actually a bit surprised that you didn't mention her getting angry at you for "throwing" the mouse out the back door, vice giving mouth to mouth and CPR and ensuring viability before GENTLY releasing in an appropriate "mouse friendly" area outside... or better yet, inside, where it could stay warm and dry...

You don't say much about your DW, but I have to imagine she has to be a lot like your DD1... I mean, having "gotten to know you" kinda/sorta over time on here, I have to say: for a sensible sort, you must have not contributed much toward your DD1's genetics, so she must have gotten it from the Missus, I'm continually like: How can she be so decidedly opposite you in so many ways?
