Pet Photos thread where too much is never enough.

[Mr.Obvious]

First and only picture of my one-hour pet.
Poor bastard flew into our window, while I was raking leaves, leaving it trapped in our boxed-yard. He could fly near the ground pretty fast still, but didn't manage lift off.
There being a lot of cats around, I spent a good ten minutes running him down and capturing inside this box.
It's a forest-pidgeon. I drove for half an hour to deliver him to the VOC a sanctuary for birds and other wild animals.
They told me (s)he was probably going to be fine. No blood in it's beak, no dilated pupils so probably no concussion, no obvious bruises in the legs or wing. The bird was a bit skinny and probably was still learning to fly. It wasn't fully grown and with the added panic and pain of having flown into the window, it probably just needed some time and feed to recover. They told me it was the right thing in bringing it, though. As it would probably have been killed by a cat. If I could catch it without it flying away, it probably didn't stand a chance to predators.

Funny though. Pidgeons annoy the crap out of me.
But an injured one struggles defenselessly in your backyard, and you can't help but help it and throw your entire schedule in dissarray to do so.

The bread was my gf's idea. She felt so sorry for it she wanted to give it something to eat. I'm glad it didn't, though. Bread's no good for birds.

Good on ye.

He knows I'm hurt. So he lays on me to protect me.

Big Zig and Quinn, taken today after grooming yesterday. Karm is not in the picture...she is losing patience with the boys in her old age.

That black and white one has some real mischief in his eye in that pic!

That's Zig's standard look when he knows I want to get a good picture...he's pretty chill but does have a bit of a stubborn streak.

Does the doggy gate actually work, or is it more "challenge accepted!"

[arewethereyet]

Gate works very well. The cat just goes through the stair railing and has full run of the house. Gate keeps the dogs from rushing to and out the front door and thwarts other mischief.

I was looking back on memories from Facebook when this popped up. It's from 3 years ago, when Dill and Pickles were just teeny little kittens and Lece' stepped in to be their mom. 

Pictured is Pickles with Lece'

Ours can easily jump the gate but have learned that it's associated with unpleasantries.
