Hi you guys just came in from the barn put some food down for that mom cat went to hose down the girls she did not eat it and i saw a raccoon taking off back behind the hay. so i moved it but she still did not eat it. don't know if she got filled up on all the kitten chow in that pans or getting picky. or just to hot. just saw our weather and now looks like no rain looked like earlier but not now and tomorrow 100 and thursday heat index 110. i could cry. wish i had that mom cat and her kids in here somewhere. i try to catch her i know i can't get them kids and she will not fall for that trap again i just know it. when i went out there was a breeze and the clouds kept that sun under wrap and i said no so bad with the sun gone then here came the sun and i said..*&%&$#%. sister win that lottery so i can have jim install a huge central air unit in my barn and i can pay the electric bill! have him install a huge furnace too and pay a huge propane bill. almost scooties dope time..

Hi Jewelies!  Getting tired of saying how hot is here.  We had a thunderstorm warning, but it split before it got here and we didn't get a drop of rain!  Guess I'm out of luck on getting my money back from the condo we didn't use... talked to the credit card people today, said no. 

cal... Are the kittens big enough to hide on their own, do you think?  What color are they?  I hear you on the heat index!  Same here!  When I got in my car after work today, it said 106^o!!  Summer isn't really even here yet.     Tasha sure likes to run!!  She's so fun to watch!

Hi Nora, rues, JP, obsver, Eaglette, blschue, dlong, willi, and anyone I have forgotten.  Hope all are well!

Hi Ra! well them kitten are hiding now. but this morning one was laying on top of the hay saw me and was oh sh$# where is my homey's and he got down in the hay somewhere got like 100's of square bales all along that wall four wide on the other side i got a ditch and it comes in the barn my raccoons have a trail there. they come in that corner and down a little hallway deal and out in the barn where i got pans of food and water bowls and fans. one kitten the one who took off is a morris cat. other is light light yellow pale like one is black and orange and white like mandy my moms cat and one is tiger stripe gray like the mom. i know for sure 2 or 3 females. man at the old house i had to climb up this built in ladder to get my hay in that barn and climbed up there and four little faces ran over to me. those kittens were so sweet. i took them in and back then got a paws deal where i got all of them fixed and shots and wormed for 25.00 a piece ed fixed them when i got the money i donated it all back so someone else could do that too. had them cats for along time elroy, fernie, sugar and kanta.  no rain here either it fizzled out in kansas. jim doing another ac job and i am in here trying to catch up on the paperwork and do all my stuff too.

Bear News - June 14, 2016
The big news today is Ted walked all the way up to the far side of the enclosure to inspect the tree that was taken down yesterday. We were very surprised to see him make the long trek. On his journey he stopped by to pay a visit to Tasha. All the while Ted was making his nice friendly grunting sounds. Tasha was not sure what to make of Ted, she immediately responded by climbing to safety, which is exactly what a young bear in the wild would do. As time goes on, we expect Tasha to be more accepting of Ted?s gentle nature and recognize his friendly grunts.

Ted is showing us that he still wants his presence and scent known to Lucky and the two female bears he is living with. He marked two different trees in the big enclosure today.

Tasha had her first introduction to the news media yesterday. She was relaxed and her introduction went well. We expect her to be in quarantine until early July depending on how she progresses. She is relaxing more and enjoying some spontaneous visits from Holly. We see progress every day. This morning Tasha enjoyed an orange. Ted, Lucky and Holly do not eat oranges (or any citrus) but it seems to be a favorite with Tasha.

Holly is continues to exhibit that she is still in estrus. Lucky?s interest in her continues but never rule out Ted.

Meanwhile back at the "cabin" Lucky shows off his yoga moves once again. Our interns are getting great pictures of Lucky doing what bears do. With bears in the wild we seldom get to see their personalities and how important play is in their development as a cub and how they continue to grow.

Once again, stripping cedar trees inside the enclosure is on Lucky and Holly's list of bear duties. The oil in the cedar bark acts as a natural bug repellent for the bears. Bears in the wild often chew the bark for bedding in dens.

I'd like to invite you to tune in on Saturday as we celebrate the Half Birthday for the bears. Each bear will be given a pi?ata filled with their favorite treats. We continue to encourage our supporters to vote for which pi?ata each bear will receive. With your help the bears can have a variety of fruits & nuts during the summer.

Thank-you,
Sharon Herrell, Bear Curator

Well WE got rain.  No hail or tornadoes, but man the wind, lightning, and it poured, 2.8 inches worth.  That was round two.  Round one wasn't bad at all compared to that second one.

I post this frequently but I  really like it.  Jewel



I will be in a foul mood all day as I have to go to the oral surgeon this afternoon and have two stubs (front teeth that broke off at the gum) extracted.  I hate that because I have trouble with clotting.

I really wish a happy, comfortable day to all.

Good morning jewelies! it is 70 here and really hot today again. Tasha so darn cute. Ted so handsome and that lucky what a funny bear! that is some fish tank!! Love those little wooden benches!

Hi JP! well i love that pic of jewel too! I am grouchy cause of the heat and worry about the girls and sweets mom cat and kittens out in it. try my best all day long into the evening with the fans and water and keeping the barn floor cleaned up cause of all the flies. spray down the floor and the girls. Wow i did not know it was your front teeth. i broke off not my front tooth but the one next to it last year had dr hanson oral surgeon pull it out and put in that implant. so for almost 5 month i stuck cotton in that hole. that shot to numb it was pretty bad but i bit the bullit and the dr. said i was a tough little girl. i do feel sorry for you. are you getting a bridge there or what? will be thinking of you today..bite the bullet and say to yourself this won't last forever. once the shot kicks in not so bad.

Hi Nora! we could use that rain you got. don't care if it pours if it would cool it off for a bit. at least no rain i don't have to go out and mow every single day. i honestly don't know if i could do that in this heat. in the barn i can stand in front of a fan when i feel sick to my stomach or use that hose on myself.

Jim is trying to go over all these ac jobs he did last night hi to all you guys

After arguing with the dogs  for 4:53 I finally  went to the couch.

[calhound]

lol atta boy jp! that is what i do here! only i go sleep on my ottoman! it is so hot here. on my ipad in the kitchen. just came in from the barn. on a little break. royals game exciting last night won it like in the ninth we are at home salvy hit a homer!

[Nora in IA]

I like that one too JP    You think YOU'RE in a foul mood, if that was me I'd say don't come anywhere near me!!

Well it's 10 to 3, I'm sort of late here, but it's 87 feels like 91.  HUMID!  Sunny.

Got some errands done.  Don't envy you out in the barn in this weather Cal.  I think that's the only weather I dreaded going out there when I had my horses.

[calhound]

hi nora! it is 100 here. came in and it was four news on. boo boo laying on the floor with his toy weatherman said worse tomorrow 105-110 orange alert bad air i started crying boo boo cocked his head all worried drop his toy and came to me. i am just so sad boo boo. just came in from the barn again was with the girls picking up poop and that mom cat ran in crying loud ran in front of me in the hay bin there calling for her kittens. only one came out the morris one. she took off out the slider and morris followed but stopped right around the door. i almost just went over there and tried to get him but i would not be fast enough. i dumped my buckets and she was back in tall weeds watching so i came back in looked behind that hay did not see the other three. i hope they did not die in the heat. my raccoon was in there eating dont think it hurt them. hoping when that *^}sun goes down i will see all of them on top of the hay. i put down clean blankets for them this morning. i am so stressed out.

jp our ballgame at seven and i feel sorry for them players in this heat and humidity sure would not want to be out there watching the game tonight.

[calhound]

i went and slept on the ottoman in 5:56!
