There are several ponds along Kitchen-Dick Road on the way to the wildlife refuge. It’s not uncommon to drive by and see different varieties of waterfowl swimming. For the last couple of days, the ducks should have had ice skates!

When I first spotted Oliver next to the pine tree in my front yard, his face was more in the sun…run get camera…too late.

Oliver’s regular vet, Dr. Melissa Smith, had the day off. Dr. Stall gave him his annual exam and gave us the news we already knew…Oliver is getting old. However, we forecast many more days of sunning on the deck and dreaming about catching shrews, mice, and snakes. His arthritis prevents him from actually engaging in any of these activites.

This is a photo of the resident male in my home. Oliver, a 16 year old tabby, will be featured in some up coming photos. Oliver, more like a dog than a cat, likes everyone and has never met a lap he didn’t like.
