Animals
This place is all about animals it seems. The cats, the parrot, and now a cow!
First the cats, they decided they needed to be fed three times today, the poor starving felines. You can tell they are being starved, look at how their bellies stick out! But, Dayton prowls around the room knocking over stuff until I relent. Clio will come and rub her cheek and nose against your arm and then if that does not work, she will start nibbling at your arm. These two are very persistant. So, they got three meals today.
Then good news about CiCi, my parrot. I called the shop where she is today and discovered she had found a good home. I was so thrilled to hear about it that I started crying. I was so worried that CiCi was scared to death in that shop and no one would want her. Her new owner came in one day and talked and talked to her and had CiCi eating food out of her hand. That was so different from what I imagined she would be like in the store. Then the lady came back yesterday and said she just had to have CiCi. It really sounds like the two belong together. So, thus ends the story of CiCi in my life. I have a freebie at the end of this post to celebrate birds in honor of CiCi – it is a Commercial Use Item so don’t miss out on it.
NOW about the cow. I have a cow in my back yard – that is right, there is a big, black mama cow in my back yard. I walked down to the mailbox today and when I got back, there she was eating up a storm in my back yard. Well, calling it a yard is a big stretch. But, hubbie does mow it. She must have got through the fence from back behind us. While I know which family owns that land, I sure don’t know their phone number and really don’t know the name of the responsible family member to call even if I did have a phone number. Couldn’t you just imagine that call. “Hello, are you missing a black cow? This one has big eyes, is black all over and is a female. Could she be yours?” The cedar brush and trees are so thick back there it is a wonder the cow made it through it. I had to call hubbie, cause he is the one that mows. You do know what will be all over the place now – cow patties and he will have to deal with that. He said it wasn’t something to worry about and that he did not have a phone number either to call. Think of him when he gets back from Houston next week and has to mow through all that.
Ok I promised a Commercial use freebie. This one has three pattern overlays, one texture overlay and one grunge overlay. I made a sample to show you how it can look. I put a color burn on the pattern layer and an overlay on the texture paper and, oops not sure about that last, but I do know it was a color burn on the pattern. The sample is included with the download.
