Very Sad News To Report

I just witnessed a hawk attack and carry off my baby crow. Baby crow was four and a half weeks old, fully feathered, and almost full size. He would stay in a bird cage most of the time, but I would put him outside on tree branches and on the ground so that he could try to learn what birds are supposed to know. Today, I had him in the grass. While cleaning up after dinner I looked out the kitchen window and saw a hawk attacking him. I tried to get outside as quickly as possible to try to scare the hawk off. When I got outside I saw the hawk take off with my baby crow. At that point I could no longer watch. I bawled my eyes out. As you can see from previous posts and pictures, I raised this guy from when he was just hatched, fed him every one and a half to two hours, and bonded with him. I did the best I could to give this little guy the best start possible. Considering he would have died had I not found him in the first place, he had an excellent four and a half weeks. I am deeply saddened. This has been very traumatic for me.

I Have A New Grandpuppy

This is my new grandpuppy. He is 12-weeks old and his name is Tater (as in tater-tot). My daughter bought him two days ago from a breeder in Pennsylvania. She drove up and I drove back so she could hold him and bond with him on the way back. She's had him for 2 days and he's adjusting nicely. Yes, I am biased, he is one smart puppy, and cute too!
