We had a visitor on our deck  Monday (July 12)  morning...Dad sent it on its way

before we could get too upset, butt he left his pawgraph for us

  Here is a short video

BREAKING LOCAL NEWS 

Tuesday morning a young bear was spotted in a tree on the campus of Rex Hospital which is about a mile from the NC Museum of Art trail where we often take our walks... This hospital is smack in the middle of the city.  I suspect the bear might live in the woods near the Art museum.  Police and wild life biologist planned to remain on site hoping he will come down on his own. 

here is his photo

  GOL (growl out loud).  He who growls last wins the prize.

  Rex (I named him that since he was spotted on the hospital campus) the black bear, was lured down around midnight, July 13, with donuts and sardines. Wildlife officers left a trail of goodies on a path toward a wooded area. 

After getting donuts and sardines, I predict Rex might come back for seconds.  However, I hope he learned his lesson. 

Feline Friday:

My feline nephews sent me this adorable cartoon.

If you have been or are owned by a cat, you are smiling!

Thoroughly Poetic and Thankful Thursday #27

 Today we join 

Thankful Thursday hosted by Brian 

  

Very thankful to report I did not need a root canal on tooth #32.  I really liked the Dr. D, the endodontist too.  X-ray indicated the tooth was healthy. He gave me several tests.  The cold sensitive test was most important.  He put a very cold instrument on it.  A normal tooth will be very sensitive but that will go away.  I passed all the tests.  He thinks, I might need another bite adjustment from my regular dentist.  Some crowns take longer to settle in that others.

 I'm thrilled to say yesterday I was #1 of 6 first commenters on Tuesday Teaser, all of us clocked in at 7:56 am.  This is quite an accomplishment. I owe my success to the fact that I was up at 0'dark 30. I had high test coffee and a Panera breakfast sandwich which fueled my agile fingers. Thanks for the award Teddy!
