Thursday, December 7th, 2006When the Wrong Number is Right
Friday, November 24th, 2006Sometimes a wrong number isn’t a wrong number at all. Sometimes God is calling. Here’s what happened when I got a call from someone looking for a Deborah Holmes. I wasn’t the Deborah Holmes she thought she was looking for but I was exactly the Deborah Holmes she was supposed to find that night…
True Story…No Lie
Tuesday, November 21st, 2006Since Sunday, our Animal Control Officers have been chasing after a rogue turkey in a neighborhood in The Creek (aka Deep Creek). Well, today they got him and he is currently enjoying the facilities at the shelter. No lie!! Here’s the best pic Lynnie Lou could get of him with her camera phone as he is a bit camera shy…

They also hung a sign on his cage which reads:
Howdy Pardner – My name is “Pilgrim”. I get to have Thanksgivin’ here at the shelter! I got a pardon from the Gubna’!!! Whatcha think ’bout that?
There have been sightings of a second turkey running around the same neighborhood so they have issued this BOL (Be on the Lookout) as well:
BOL – Pilgrim 2 is still at large, last seen looking at himself longingly in a car reflection. Is known to be on a fitness plan, eats rice cakes to thin down before the holidays!
Cows Beware
Wednesday, August 30th, 2006Lynnie Lou stopped by my house yesterday afternoon and, as we walked out the front door for her to leave, she hollered and jumped back. Lord have mercy this is what we saw…

OMG!! Being two strong women armed with semi-automatic firearms, we immediately began screeching and trying to decide how to kill it (I’m pretty sure the neighbors were enjoying the show). Anyway, I started trying to stomp it and it simply seemed to fend off my attempts and keep going. Lynnie Lou jumped down off the porch and attempted to help me in my murderous rampage but psycho ant just WOULD NOT DIE! Finally, Lynnie Lou picked up a large rock, dropped it on psycho ant and proceeded to bounce up and down while standing on the rock. Did it finally die? We don’t know. We got the #@#% out of there.
I goggled the creature this morning and found out that it is/was/might still be a flightless female wasp known as a velvet ant or cow killer. Its sting is reputedly strong enough to kill a cow! I don’t know if that is fact or legend but I would just as soon not have to find out.
OMG
