I called here kitty kitty for 3:29!

Wow Wills that is awesome!!

Cal, that really makes me mad about the DNR and the gate. They will do everything in their power to mess with Dr Rogers. Great pics! You had quite an afternoon yesterday. Good grief, are you ok today? And how is Rose? Did you ever get a hold of a farrier? Did Sweets pull out any of your ponytail hair?  I saw on the news about the boy that fell from the water slide in Kansas. How sad for something like that to happen. My goodness that's a tall waterslide. You wouldn't get me on something like that. That thing is scary.

Willi, thanks for the pics!

Nora, did you get your mowing done this afternoon? It's been a very nice day here today. 80 and low humidity with a slight breeze! Wish it could stay like this.

Jp, love that pic of Shylow and his notched ear! Is it still raining there?

Daily Updates
Jewel Shows, Braveheart Is OK - UPDATE August 8, 2016
08 August 2016

Jewel made one of her rare appearances at the WRI. She was on alert while her cubs ate peacefully or relaxed under her protection. She got on the scale (235 pounds) and let us feel for a scar. Jewel's cub

Nervous as she was, we might have missed the exact place, but we didn?t feel any scar and her short new fur did not show a hint of one. The open wound of last fall has healed well despite being so open that we could see organs inside.

It was a day of bears (Lily, Faith, Samantha, cubs, etc.) and nature.

The day included a moment of relief when I got a call that Braveheart was seen. The feeder knew I was worried because she had not been seen since July 21.

The day began cool (53?F), so we got two lectures out of the way?a 15-minute PowerPoint on what the Den Cams showed us and a 45-minute slide show on local bear biology. Then it was out for adventure and learning. A nice thing is that there are no bugs. No ticks, mosquitoes, deer flies, horse flies, black flies, or no-see-ums. Seems impossible.

A call today from the Washington Post for comments about a bear issue in another state should run soon. The reporter will send a link when it runs.

Another great group.

Thank you for all you do.

Willi I love that second elk picture where they're looking uphill towards them and the wood fence!!

Yes Rues, thank heavens I got that mowing done yesterday.  Supposedly it's 76, but the humidity is terrible!!  I'll take yesterday.

Cute teddy bear sailors JP!  And good afternoon now to you.

Cal "... so he fixed it and they pay cash did not want a receipt"  Hmmmm interesting, must not want a name out there anywhere.  Good going on your insulation.

Cal, I wish you could come jump in our pool, too! It feels so good after mowing to just jump in and get all that grass and sweat off of you! Good for you on sending an email to that DNR! Wonder if you will get a reply? And if you do, what kind of bull he'll feed you!  Don't blame you about considering hiring someone to finish hooking up your generator. Sometimes it's better to let someone else do it and get it done! Been there and done that! Lol! Glad Sweets didn't pull out any ponytail hair! I'm so happy that Jewel's injury has healed! Still wondering about Aster.

Jp, cutest pic of Lily and Cubs!

Hi Nora!

I am running late but at least I am running.  Can't shout for joy because I feel good as I do not but things will improve.

Bear people said this..No update tonight. All is well, Dr. Rogers was just very busy and ran out of time to write one. - LG

[calhound]

sorry went to hose them down.

It's 76 here this noon, but the humidity is 93%.  It's awful out there.

It probably WOULD be better on your warranty if someone hooks it up for you guys.  Good luck and hope you have it soon so you don't have to worry about it.  Cal don't overdo it in that heat/humidity!!

Rues can I jump in your pool too?  Oh wait, I don't have a swim suit anymore.

Hi JP, glad you sound like it's a better morning.  I can't run either.

Off to do the puzzles, thanks JP and Cal!  Really appreciate you guys doing those for us!

[calhound]

Hi Nora! it is so awful here. feels like 104 just soaking wet coming in. me and sister doing the every half hour soaking or 20 min. soda she hears me and moves toward the hose then stands in front of her big yellow fan. i was going to mow but forget that. too hot for my poor mower and me. i wear a long sleeve shirt and jeans out to the barn. sister too. i don't have a swim suit going to jump in the pool in my shorts and tee shirt. molly and boo wear their coats in the pool!  news said dangerous heat warning today and tomorrow had way too many of these days. hope next year to have that barn ac and heated hope to have all my girls next year.

Hi Jewelies!   

What a disgusting day it is weather-wise! I went out very early this morning to water a plant on my porch and it was nasty even then. So I am just sticking to the house today. The humidity is only 58% thank goodness, but that's bad enough. It's supposed to cool down starting Saturday with highs in the 80s. I am ready for Fall!!!!



I went to the doctor on Monday and we are getting everything moving toward getting my hip replacement done finally. I had x-rays done and my hip is super sore because they make you stand and lie down in weird positions. And my hip just doesn't go where they want it to go! So I have had to take extra pain meds yesterday and today. I hardly ever take it during the day so I'm just kind of sleepy.

I wanted to send you guys this picture. His 72nd birthday was yesterday. What a man!!!



This screen capture is little Bei Bei trying to get his mother Mei out of his little tub. Her big old backside barely fits and for sure the little guy can't move her. There's a link under the picture for a 10 minute video of Bei Bei & Mei playing together in and out of the tub. That's where the screen cap came from. The little guy is so aggressive toward his mom and just bites the heck out of her. They play rough!!

This is Bei Bei and Mei playing "king of the log"! Bei Bei keeps climbing up and Mei keeps knocking him off! The link is under the picture. This video is only about a minute and a half long.

Well, I better get off this computer; I've been sitting too long! It will take me 10 minutes to get out of my desk chair.

Hi to JP, Cal, Rues, Obsver, Ra, Willi, Eaglette, Nora, Neva, Deb, Chippy, Pat, Blschue, and anyone I forgot and all who visit here. I  hope you all have a pleasant day.
