Yesterday

We are commuting distance from Atlanta so lots of folks up here don't have "sticks education". I always feel so bad when I see a lost pet sign taped to a pole or traffic sign because I know it is pretty likely that a coyote or raptor (hawk or owl) got Snowball, and kitty is not coming home.

And once you've seen what a hawk or racoon can do to a chicken, you don't get that warm fuzzy feeling when you see them anymore.
