This morning while in the barn, I noticed that Dickens one of the early escape artists was up on the rafters. He was swearing at me, but I pretended not to notice and went about my business laying our food and water for the cats.

He didn’t like being ignored and started creeping across the rafters, jumped down on the hay bales and landed right next to me! I happened to have a towel wrapped around my neck, so I carefully removed it, went over to pet him though he was still swearing- and I dropped the towel over him, snatched him up and had a front-loader carrier nearby where he was deposited. He is now at the vet losing his manhood. 🙂

Mike is being transferred to a “rehabilitation center” nearby. His healing is “Miraculous” according to one surgeon. They keep making a cast around the incision site and every morning when they get him out of bed the swelling is so reduced the cast falls off and crashes to the ground!
