Monday Greetings! Lav, it seems everybody I encounter who has had that cold keeps coughing for a LONG time both with exertion and when they are trying to rest, they describe it as more annoying for them than an actual illness, an irritation in the lungs that takes time to resolve. Speaking of Lav, I had a day yesterday that reminded me of her
. I visited some "country" friends who have exotic chickens?we have urban chickens around my neighborhood but they tend to be sturdy laying hens. While my friends had fine looking layers they also had some very odd birds
. My hands-down favorite were Black Cochins, large calm round puffs, just like big soft pillows with feet. I cuddled a rooster who quickly fell asleep with his head on my shoulder. Very comforting chicken. In second place came the extraordinarily different but equally sweet and gentle Bantam Modern Games. They had the longest bare legs imaginable and looked like a cross between a funny ballerina and a velociraptor. Even the house is quaint with three (3) grand pianos in the "living" room along with thousands of dusty books, five or six dusty computers, two big fat shelter dogs smuggled from Mexico, and a sleeping platoon of no longer homeless cats. Another good day for me although the one before was lousy, my emotions are still all over the place but I am working on it. Today is still good, happy, safe, and warm. I am sorry that it looks like you are soon saying goodbye to your fine old kitty, Pap?the fluids you gave worked well for a long time as did all of your care, may you both be at peace. My dead dog still rides in my truck sometimes, or at least that is was I have decided. Hello Rusty, Dill, Star, Cyn, Sooty, TDN, LTLW, Rustop et. al. Love, Ladybird.
