i destroyed my camera maybe a week ago through pure stupidity - i left it outside to freeze for 2 long nights and days.
just put it down on a picnic table to help wolf when he broke through some deep snow, and completely forgot about it until my husband found it and brought it in. :/
i have been majorly, seriously, depressed ever since. i couldn't even bear to discuss it with anyone, including my husband.
my cold is getting better, but wolf is now coming down with one.
and, on top of that, i haven't discussed this either, but because wolf has been feeling nauseated (but not vomiting, and no fever or any other symptom besides mild diarrhea) after every single meal for the past couple of weeks, we took him to see his pediatrician. she listened to his stomach and said something is definitely going on (lots of bowel sounds, you know), and wants me to capture some stool and urine samples from him.
because he's been "going" at school lately, i kept him home for the next 3 days, chasing him around with the plastic cups. unfortunately, he never produced during the day (performance anxiety, maybe - though he's actually really eager to try :D), which is important as we have only a few hours to get the samples down to the lab once produced, but the lab is almost 2 hours away from us.
oh well, anyway... enough with the stool talk...
we see the rabbit hanging out in front of her new home under the chicken shed. well, it used to be the chicken shed, until the bear tore the door down and killed or chased out all the chickens. but i digress into boring stuff as usual... anyway, when i go over to fill her food bowl, i can smell a slight skunk scent. i suspect a skunk may be hibernating under or in the shed, which is probably great for the rabbit, as that means predators will most likely stay away.
wolf went out to check on her once, and he said she came up to him, licked his hand and then stood up with her little front paws resting on him (like she always used to do with us).
i don't think i'll try to catch her - i get the feeling she's probably happier outside.
and, it seems like winter is actually over. normally, our winter runs from october to april, with between 7 and 21 feet of snow falling each season. this year, though, we've only had maybe 4 feet of snow overall, only a few snow storms, and, the last couple of weeks, we've had above freezing weather every single day, making the snow melt.
the topper though, is the fact that our pond has been host to numerous canada geese and ducks the past week. and some people have reported seeing robins already. no one has ever seen these birds this early - they shouldn't be here for another 3 months!
