Today we had to go across the mountain & to Poughkeepsie to get our car back finally! It's been at the place since last friday. It took an hour & 1/2 to get to Poughkeepsie.

Rayna, Dariyn & flats went with mom. We stopped at the Mohonk Reserve Nature/Visitor center briefly on our way. We didn't get photos because we didn't have new batteries in our camera yet.

Then we came back home to get daddy & Kymberlee. We went to grandma & grandpa's for dinner again. We had to come back home for daddy to go to work. We had a quiet nite.

Stuff. . . .

UGH!!! So I have TRIED to post this blog TWICE on myspace & keep getting stupid error messages! I have been dealing with that crap for like 2 weeks or more, so I am DONE! I am not blogging there anymore! (blog before today is at: http://www.myspace.com/flynhy )

Kymberlee & Dariyn "graduated" from 4th grade on Wed, June 20th, 2007! So, in the fall they will be entering 5th grade AND the middle school!!


Then! I had a tragedy today!! And that really sucked & made me mad, upset, etc! My goose baby (@ 7wks) died today! Just DIED! For now reason, . . . well I know there probably is a REASON. . . I just don't KNOW it!! :( He has been doing fine! Eating fine, drinking fine, moving around, outside everyday recently :( So I dunno what the reason is:( The older guy (they were in seperate cages when the younger guy was outside) is still doing ok. . . so it seems anyhow!

I have raised many ducks & geese (domestics though) & have not had this happen!


The next thing is, I am going to apply for federal licensing (bird rehab) come Jan-ish! Part of the requirement for this is you HAVE to have a vet & they HAVE to write a letter stting they will work with you & see you when you need. . . So, I KNEW the vet I was going to ask, and did! He agreed he would, in exchange for helping him too, and taking birds he gets in to the office:) LOL OF COURSE I will help!:) I told him I would help with others too if he needed! So, I have to take good photos of caging & they will have to be submitted with my application. I do have a few different bird cages (of various sizes) that I am going to clean up real well over the summer. They can be used for initial intake or for smaller birds in general. So I will just need to work on caging for larger birds & pre-release pens.

I am also working on finishing up the requirements for my RVS license. I need to get a couple cages built & inspected before fall is over.

SOOOOOOOO Anyone out there with any cages, cage materials, etc they don't need, or would like to donate, PRETTY PLEASE contact me??? :)
