Matthew's mom has been telling me that Penny has been chasing ground squirrels and I've been thinking she's never going to catch a squirrel.
Except she meant chipmunk and today one was on the porch and Penny zoomed out and caught it and then wandered around the yard in a confused manner for a few minutes
I hate that she killed the chipmunk but we can't keep her inside all the time becausepp going outside is her relief from being bullied by Scrappy. We will just try to scare off the wildlife hanging in the open part of the yard first.
I'm sure Penny is only catching the ones who deserve to die.
Two of our furloughed workers are coming back to my team! Hooray!
And my friend that was laid off just texted that she is starting a new job. Yay!

Our Kit Kat had a run in with a rabbit this week. She had a bad scratch on her foreleg and one on her back leg. I washed out the wounds and she seemed normal. This is the first time she's ever came back with battle wounds. She should stick to voles.
I'm always reminded of "Cold Comfort Farm" - the water voles will get you!
Hatta tends to take out mourning doves - we found a little cemetery behind the bushes.
If I ever see a bluebird I'm going to have to consider grounding her.
No worries Beverly, I habitually carry antibacterial Wet Ones wipes in my pocket and swabbed the punctures out almost as soon as they were made. Then washed my hands well and applied Neosporin once I returned home.
My World Lit professor in college had her forearm swell up like a frankfurter from a cat bite and had to have it lanced, so I've always been aware of how dangerous those can be.
My sister's cat once bit me and the bite ended up infected. I had to go to the emergency room, get IV antibiotics and a prescription for pills to take. It was short-term painful - and kind of scary - but once I was treated, it cleared up quickly.
I am doing a ton of data entry today at work and just came to the most awesome name, Marvel Outlaw!!
