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.
Thanks nancy … they look awesome!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing!!
Love the cow story! Thanks for the dl and thanks for the laugh!
lol on the cow in the yard! Im so happy to hear Cici got a great home. Lovely freebie!
Thanks for the great overlays and your funny blog! My daughter had an emu show up in her backyard one day! What a surprise that was. Keep on blogging!
Thanks, Nancy, these are WONDERFUL!!! I appreciate all you give to us that NEED it…lol
THANK YOU!
Thanks. Love the overlays.
Your house sounds like ours. We have cats, chickens and a fish. With dairy prices going up the way they are, I am tempted to get a cow, but the city probably would not be into that scene.
Thanks so much for that wonderful freebie. I love playing with overlays.
Thanks so much for the wonderful freebies!!!!
And it is so heart-warming to hear how much you cared for CiCi and that she got a good new home. Some people do not take responsible care of animals … but so many DO!!!!!
Loved the story about the cow! LOL! Love hearing any animal stories, for that matter. I’m just another animal lover.
These are great!!! Thanks so much for this kind of thing. Great cow story. Just think… if he just mows over the cow patties he’ll have manure sprinkled on the ground and (if you can put up with the smell for a while) a greener lawn. 🙂
Thanks for the giggle, and glad to hear your CiCi found a good home. The CU freebie is cool, thanks for sharing!
thanks very pretty…
LOL, that is so funny about the cow, we lived in the country once and the farmer had cows behind us. They were forever getting out and would be around the house, the bull was looking into my dh’s office once. That was a bit scary as he was real unpredictable, even the farmer was afraid of him.
thank you so much
A cow, huh? Maybe you can get the cats to chase her home…
Thanks so much for the overlays!
Great overlays Nancy! Thanks for sharing.
thank you, nancy. This will be wonderful to use.
I like these birdies – too cute.
Cute! Thanks so much for sharing! 🙂
Very nice, thank you. I’m glad to hear CiCi found a new home. 🙂
