Back to the Animal Kingdom (with lots of music!)

I’ll spare you the details of cracked horse hoofs and cat-bladder pokes because…well…it’s just more of the same here.

But, having said “cat-bladder pokes,” perhaps I should explain: The cat got its bladder poked today.

Or, if you’d like it another way, try this: The bladder of the cat was poked this morning.

Or, if it’s the morning and a sense of duty that you’d like to focus on, try this: This morning we had the cat’s bladder poked.

The cat, of course, does not find any of this amusing. Neither did we. Because we awoke to a cat – Woody, to be precise – in terrific pain from a blocked bladder. Off we went to the great Dr. Paul at Bear Swamp Animal Hospital, whereby the poking of the cat’s bladder was accomplished and, for now, the urine is a-flowing again.

Woody’s scheduled to rejoin the gang tonight – sore poked bladder and all.

I’m off to Cedar Circle Farm tomorrow for some more fun – I mean, work – with the Belgian team, Buddy & Jerry. They just restored a beautiful horse-drawn cultivator and a just as beautiful mowing machine that we’ll be hooking to and, hopefully, getting some work done.

Animal power rocks.

And, speaking of rock, try these videos on for size:
