What Little Red Found In The Road!!!

OMG.....



Poor Little Guy

Nathan and I were out flying his kite this evening and we decided to check the mail.

The dogs followed us to the mail box and

Little Red (Black Lab mix) found this Cardinal lying in the road.



Little Red

She had it in her mouth and I think she had plans to eat it! 

I told her to bring it to me and

surprisingly, she dropped it in front of me.

Nathan was freaking out!

To be honest, so was I.

The poor little thing looked dead.

Miss Lady (German Sheppard) came over to see

what all the fuss was about

and pushed it with her nose as if to say "get up".

Miss Lady

I picked him up and he chirped, cried, I don't know,

but I did know he was still alive.

Nathan and I brought him into the house and placed him

in the old bird cage along with some dead grass,

water and some johnson grass seeds.

One of his eyes is not so good and 

I figured he wouldn't make it past the night.

An hour or so later he is hopping

around the cage looking for an escape.

I had to clip mesh around the watering bowl holes

lest he get stuck trying to get out.



Poor Little Guy Looking Much Better

Steve thinks he might be blinded in that one eye, it does look bad

but, he does seem to be feeling better.

I've turned down the lights and

now he's resting more comfortably.

What should I do?

Let him loose in the morning into the trees where they hang out?

Keep him a few days to see how he's doing?

I'm afraid he'll hurt himself  more trying to escape!

He does look better than when we found him!

HELP!!!

Bad Boys, Bad Boys, What You Gonna Do.......

Whoa!

This happened Tuesday May 24 less than a mile from my house.

Ellis County

2 suspected burglars shot inside home

An Ellis County man shot two burglary suspects in his son's

house in the 2800 block of FM85 near Ennis

shortly after noon Tuesday, officials said.

One of the suspects was dead at the scene

and the other was in surgery hours later at a Dallas hospital.

His condition was unavailable.

Ellis County Sheriff's Department spokesman Lt. James Saulter

said a neighbor saw the two men knock on the front door

of the single-family home, then drive around back.

Suspicious, the neighbor called the homeowner's

father, who lives next door to his son and was on his way home.

The homeowner's father, who Saulter said has a concealed handgun license,

confronted the two men inside his son's home, where they were in the process

of carrying some of his son's guns toward the back door.

The homeowner's father called 911 after the shooting.

Saulter did not identify any of the men involved in the incident, pending
notification of next of kin.

This happens all too often in our neck of the woods,
it's remote and criminals know you're most likely at work.
I've been burgled at two different residences and let me tell you, it feels awful!

We do have the Castle Law but...

I don't know about killing someone over possessions.
Then again, I wasn't there, maybe the criminals had their own guns!
These Texans do seem to love their guns.
What would you do?

Till next time,

THE SNAKE
