Critters

Really bad animal week. A dog Thomas was playing with came in and mauled Mr Rabbit. Who seemed okay, then died on the way to the vet. The baby chickens mauled one of their ranks. She continues to hang in. Now I am in Port Townsend and the cat that is in my care won't show his face. Last night, I dreamt he showed up, but was a naked 2 year old boy.

As much as Thomas is enjoying the freedom of being here, I think I am going to bring him to Seattle today. Ellie and the dog and me to a lesser degree, make the stand-offish giant (The largest Main Coon cat ever) extra stand-offish.

Yesterday's critter report: One young buck in the garden, 3 sea lions, two of them pups. The highlight for me was listening to a hermit thrush. Haunting song. Sounds like it is being echoed through a steel drum with some water in it. Beautiful.
