I Know It Sounds Crazy

 but I think I've seen a wolf today in an empty building lot quite close to my house. I went back to look again and he disappeared. He was dark grey in colour, of about the same size as a German shepherd. We don't have stray dogs over here, mind you. But may be it was some kind of a shepherd dog who ran away. He had no collar on. I mean how do I know what it was? And should I keep my cat home at night? 

P.S. He looked a bit like a picture below but I thought timber wolf was an American sort.

What The Cat Dragged Home

 Well, yesterday she dragged home a mouse. But then she somehow lost it because though she is very pretty she isn't particularly bright (which my mum says a pretty girl doesn't have to be, lol). And the mouse ran away and hid. She then went around complaining and wanted us to give the mouse back to her. 

We looked everywhere but couldn't find it. Then her daughter came downstairs and started sniffing around the corner. Then we had to move a heavy wardrobe to search behind it, but the mouse wasn't there.

Then Finn came home and started sniffing in another corner. Then he went back outside. My husband suggested that the mouse escaped through the plinth to the neighbour's house.

Then at night one of the cats started digging in the corner where our bookkeeping files were arranged, and pulled out a heavy book. So now my husband thinks she ate that mouse at night. What do you think?

Bird Rescue

 My husband insisted I'd write about it so here it is:)

Last time we went to the camping, he installed the tent again. It's actually a construction that rests on 4 poles which are hollow inside and it has a canvas roof we take off in the winter. In summer we put it on, which he did. Next morning, we went outside and heard strange noise and flapping, so we first thought there was a bird who accidentally got locked in our shed. However, we found out there was a bird inside one of the poles! 

The poor thing apparently decided to spend the night under the roof and somehow fell down the pole. We tried to lower a cord with a piece of wood down through the opening in the hope that he would be able to hop out using it, but it didn't work. My husband then tried to lift the pole but there was no opening on the other side! We were quite at a loss what to do, but he then figured out that the pole had a detachable foot and went to search for a screwdriver. 2 screws came off easily and the 3d wouldn't, it looked like it was broken or something. 

Then he finally managed to turn it somehow, lifted the pole just a tiny little bit and the little birdie flew away in a hurry! DH now expects applause and admiration for being such a hero and rescuing the poor fellow;)

What We Did Last Weekend

That's So Cute!

 Injured cat goes to ER for treatment:

 

The original video was on BitChute but I couldn't open it so found this one.

Here is the story. 

R.I.P. Vigga

 My guinea pig died this weekend. It was a very special guinea pig as she became 8 years 1 month old. Internet says they normally live 4 to 8 years but mine all died between 2 and 3 years of age, except this one.

In September she got a bladder infection which we treated  with antibiotics, she survived but was still very weak. Yet last week she started eating and drinking better and could walk better, too. 

Saturday before we left for the camping, I gave her a piece of an apple, a kiwi peel and a slice of cucumber and she ate it all and was happy. Yesterday, when we came home in the evening, she lay dead in her cage.

We had to take the car and drive to the forest and dig a grave and we buried her by the road in perfect darkness with the rain pouring down all the time. 

She had a good life and I hope she can rest now as she was really getting very old and frail...

Crazy Summer. More Germany.

 It's like this summer never ends. We got a temperature spike of +30*C again last weekend. Then it finally started raining! I think last time we had a real rain was somewhere in the beginning of July. Yesterday was the last really warm day, about +25*C but it's still going to be +21/22*C for some time and then? Who knows. Normally I always feel blue when the weather becomes more autumn-like, but I'm not really sorry to see this summer gone. It's still like 24*C in our bedroom...

Here are more vacation pictures for all of you.

Germany, somewhere near the border:

 

More Vacation Pictures. Germany Part 2

 Nature and free time park

This above is a European wild cat

The ancestor of European horses, sort of a prehistoric horse actually

One piglet escaped

The weather was hot all the time so we ate lots of ice cream:) The pic is from our side of the border though.

The Last Of The Vacation Pictures

 For now:)

 

Peace On Earth, Good Will To Men

 Something nice for a change:

Visiting A Zoo

 It's allowed nowadays, and they are even talking about abolishing face diapers inside, the end of the next week!!! It's hot over here, so my time on computer is rather limited, but I still wanted to post the pics...

 this one is rather unfortunate, lol

I think the camels have the nicest accommodation, they practically live in freedom and can walk around.

a selfie

a mother-baby moment, the baby is practically just as big as the mother already:)

a bit of Australia...

and Wild West

 

 

This is Max, btw!

Well, may be it's not really that spectacular, but last time we visited a zoo was like October or November 2020, so it was a whole event for us!
