A nice lady that is fun, smart, sweet, and funny. |
Todays update from CROW: Lil Guy continues to be bright, alert, responsive and using the right leg in a normal fashion. The eaglet is being fed whole prey items and still requires assistance with eating. He continues to gain weight. The next update will be this Tuesday when he is scheduled for xrays and blood work. ------------------ On a brighter note, Lil Guy's older sibling Brutus is now a free and independent juvenile eagle gracing the skies in parts unknown! The parents have been spending time in the nest tree daily since Brutus left. The nest itself is totally gone. It is unknown if they will try and rebuild there or find another spot for the next season. ----------------- For all that has happened at this nest and with Lil Guy, other eagles have not fared as well this nesting season. The 3 non releasable breeding couples in Tenn laid a combined 9 eggs, none of which were viable. The Decorah, Iowa nest continues to have problems. One of their 3 eaglets died 2 weeks ago. That was attributed to being the youngest sibling and the last fed in an area where food was apparently scarce. Wednesday, another eaglet and the mother were both experiencing obvious distress. Mom was staggering around the nest, falling down with wings spread. They think, this was the result of contaminated food. Pesticides and poisons ingested by their prey affects them as well. Mom recovered within a few hours. The eaglet did not survive. The remaining eaglet wasnt affected. Considering how slowly the government usually moves, it took just 2 hours for local wildlife people and the feds to do all the paperwork to intervene in this situation. They needed to remove the dead eaglet and any remaining food from the nest asap to protect the safety of the parents and the remaining sibling. |
It occurred to me the other day that the vast majority of residents at facilities I've worked at are white. You don't very often see Asian or Latinos...and in an area where there are numerous Native Americans, they also account for 0% of our clientele.
This speaks volumes to me about cultures and how (or if) they truly value their elders. Just my .02 |
I had a really hard weekend with my son... and thats on my mind. He is not getting any better right now... and I know his doctors say that the changes we have made are contributing to that and to have patience while he adjusts... but its so hard... so many tears.
I am also so glad I had today for myself. It was a wonderful day and it made me giddy. |
note back to JustLovelyJenn
so sorry things are difficult right now for you regarding your son ...

I am fascinated with alligators. I google and read about them.
Came across this news article a little while ago. NOT FASCINATING IN THE LEAST!!! It is purely horrible! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016...-in-australia/ |
The agenda for this week...It is going to be a busy, interesting and productive one!

Today's update from CROW: Lil Guy continues to improve since having surgery on May 14 to repair a broken femur in the right leg. The eaglet is perching, vocalizing and gaining strength. Over the weekend he ate a little on his own but still requires some assistance during feeding. Blood work came back normal. This week the eaglet is expected to be moved to an outside enclosure where it will have more room to build its strength and spread its wings. ------- This is super news! |
on my mind: I better stop eating these sunflower seeds...:|
|
What movie I should watch tonight...hmm
|
...something sweet....but I better not!
|
This is consuming my mind:
last lap and desperately looking for the home stretch ... I know I can make it ... I know I can ... I am rising up ... I will do it! |

Early this am Lil Guy was moved to the small flight enclosure outside to give the eaglet more room to spread its wings and help build strength in its right leg. The move outside is to also encourage him to eat on its own without assistance. If he continues to improve over the next couple of weeks, the next step will be to remove the pin from his femur. |
My girlfriend- and her new job and the people there.
My neighbor- I took him to tmh because he complained of having chest pains. My father and older brother- cause my father is much older now and my older brother going through chemo. |
I'm wondering about online veterinary assistant/veterinary technician colleges........ :hangloose:

The other day I saw an elderly couple at the grocery store. They were standing looking at books and the man was lovingly rubbing her hip as they stood. After a few seconds his hand slid down and he softly patted her bottom. It was just such a sweet and obviously natural exchange. And all I could think was...I want that someday. Nothing more nothing less.
