An entry on an animal other than chickens! Our other girls, the kittens, are 5 months old now and our parenting plan for them is to become expert outdoor mousers. But, seeing as we live in coyote and hawk territory and close to the road, they still get to come inside at night. So far they have brought us three baby mice right up to the door. The first mouse was still alive and ran right inside. That caused a little chaos, but it was quickly caught by deft hands and disposed of outside, much to the kittens' dismay. Good thing Vince's welding gloves were close at hand. The second mouse was pronouced dead at the scene without a scratch on it, and the third was left as a gift for us to find right under the door when we arrived home yesterday evening. Their names are Coughball (yes, that's right) and Smudge. They go everywhere together and their mischievious ways make them the big entertainment of the farm lately.
