So, last night I go feed the horses as usual. It's getting dark and Susan calls the outdoor cats into the garage so they don't get eaten by the foxes trying to feed their young.... Almost EVERY night I "nag" Susan to get them in and close the door. Well July is the month the mama creatures teach their younguns the ways of the world. I'm getting, uhm... my "pajamas on" (scary huh?) and getting ready to crawl into the warm bed (it's about 50 and "cold"). Susan open the people door to the garage and SCREAMS running back inside doing the "woman hop" telling me there are two HUGE ones out in the garage. "Ones?" .... uhhh raccoons.... DANG or the other word.... (this is a family friendly blog site).
So I go out to see one little baby raccoon scooting to the door. I see a SECOND baby on the shelf, scared and looking for an escape route so I can kinda cleared a path and number two scoots out. Well I stand there trying to see if any more are around, sure enough little cooing, whimpering under the wooden pallets holding all the expensive, boxed stuff from Ireland.... hmmm.... I could see the little eye peeking out and these desperate little noises. Well this one was much harder to clear a path for and I thought for SURE I'd get bitten and have to take the rabies series..... In any case it FINALLY decided to venture out and I kinda scooted it toward the door with a broom.... TONIGHT if Susie doesn't call the cats (they like her), I'm closing the overhead door and the fox family can have some tasty morsels for dinner.
So this morning I get a call from the mother of the young lady that Squirt went to live with. She's in tears telling me that their California home is being foreclosed and Squirt is coming back. While I'll be glad to see Squirt I am broken hearted for him, Carson (the girl) and the entire family. They've lived in the house for over 20 years. Scott, the dad, has been a landscaper for his entire working life, owns his own business and just can't make it in the California economy..... This is a real nice family who's entire life is being upended and turn upside down by the liberal policies that have wrecked California and are wrecking THE REST OF AMERICA as we speak.... To me this is an more pathetic than I can possibly describe.... Please Pray for Scott, Georgan, Max and Carson.... I told them Squirt will be here for them if and when they can take him back.... PLEASE go out and vote conservative in November.... Help a family survive....

Sorry to hear about Squirt's family. But, if his family can own their own business, that makes them 'rich' (i.e. the enemy). They need to do their part to fund our welfare state. Drink the liberal kool-aid, Dad.
ReplyDeleteJames and I were both very sad to hear about Squirt's family, I know it was a good home for him; we will definately keep them in our prayers. I'm glad that you and Susie are able to take Squirt back ensuring that he continues to have a good home and pray that this family is able to recover and ultimately have Squirt back.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Prayers are said.
ReplyDeleteI hope things turn around for them.
I'm proud of my namesakes wife, if enough of us pray, it should help.
