Good afternoon, friends. I figured I'd better post before I have my afternoon back rest in bed 'cause after that it's WC time and I'll be more tired after that than I am now.
I washed and hung out the sheets and some other stuff earlier. It's gotten cloudy and they say me have more rain so I hope my stuff dries. I really don't like using the clothes dryer when it's hot like it is today.
I've been to the feed store in Petal for Charlotte.
I've known I had to move a fancy bird house that Jack made for me for over a week. It just takes me so dang long to get around to doing stuff. I had a platform feeder in that place but when I saw a chicken fly up in it and eat it's fill of wild bird food something had to be done. !4 years ago back when Jack gave me the gift I had no problem putting the bird house up on a 6' post. Getting it down and putting it up on a shorter platform was another matter. But it's down now and in the place it should be. It looks good there, too.
Don't ask about the Discus. It hasn't been a total failure, just close. I'm used to failing with Discus spawns so I'm not devastated like I would have been even a year ago. At least I don't see that it was my fault this time. Sometimes shit just happens.
Tink has started coughing badly. It started happening Sunday morning about 1/2 hr I fed her breakfast. Since I've been boiling chicken leg quarters with veggies for her I thought at first that I may have missed a bone when I shredded the chicken. I heard that if a person gets a bone stuck in their throat they should eat bread. I've been feeding Tink Pita bread which it quite doughy. The coughing seems to have lessened but has not gone away. There's another possibility...The reason she coughs is because there is because her heart in enlarged. Since she has been eating more, being fed tasty food twice a day she has gained weight which makes even less room for her heart. I know that I could take her to the vet but I'm worried about making it until my SS check gets here. Tomorrow I'll take fish to Ken and Twee. I asked Ken to figure up how much they owe me. If I can afford it, I'll take her but if she needs anything fancy I won't be able to afford it. This inflation we are going through sucks.
My favorite customer called this morning. a feral cat had kittens in a snug place by her house. A lady down the road feeds the feral cats but never bothers to catch them and have them spayed and neutered. She just doesn't want to bother. My customer, Mrs. Woodall is going to buy a live trap and catch as many of the feral cats as she can and have the job done. Mrs. Woodall doesn't even care for cats. She's a dog woman. But she know what to do what is right.
That's it, folks. I need to rest my old back now. See y'all tomorrow.
