and the day starts off, OFF

Went out to put kibble in Voo’s bowl and

“where’s the kibble?,,,,,   Voo, did you do something with your kibble?”

GONE,  a whole #25 bag of kibble, GONE,,,,

Now, I am not pointing fingers at people here,,, Anyone over 100# is gonna trigger my porch warnings,,,  That includes Humans, Bears, Voodoo (yeah, he’s a big dog,,,,) but not kittums or neighbor dawgs, or ‘yotes,,,,  (or possum, but a possum isn’t gonna take the whole bag with them.)  Yes, I made my porch so it squeaks,,, intentionally,,,(side note: it shows just how far gone voo’s hearing (and mine) is, that I wasn’t given a warning by him.)

Not overly mad about it.  Not the food thing, but that Voo’s food is kinda pricey,,,  and that was a new bag as of Past Sunday,,,  Shoulda gotten another week and a half out of it.

So, my start to the day was to run and get a new bag of kibble for dawgum, and establish a kibble vault that I can secure.    (five gallon bucket that hangs from rafters when access is not needed.  Won’t stop a bear, or human, but my porch will let me know when THOSE are in proximity.)

and its a warning to me, that neighbor Cuz is having an issue feeding his mutts,,,,all 16 of ’em,,,  That’s an issue that may need addressed here shortly,,,,   I hatez to do it, but there may be some cases of high speed lead poisoning taking place here soon,,,,   I’ve been tolerant with the caveat of “so long as they leave the kittehs alone”, and they have been (had all three buzzyfuzzies in the house this AM, so there is that,,,)   BUT, I can’t afford to have them creepin’ around my house, stealing food, in the dead of night: they might start to get cocky about it, and then things will really escalate,,,

life in the sticks,,, gotta love it,
