This picture demonstrates Weasel’s fluffy tail, but the camera decided to focus behind him, so I didn’t use it. Between low light and using the telephoto capabilities, focus and depth of field are problems.

Froggy has decided she doesn’t like the life of a feral and has taken up residence with the neighbor who puts his cats out on ropes. She injured a leg somehow and had crawled off to heal. He found her and took her inside. Having healed, Froggy decided she liked sleeping on a couch, and doesn’t come out any more.

Ringo is getting stronger every day, and is becoming a nuisance trying to ‘escape’ to eat kibble. The entry and exit wounds have healed well, but the jaw isn’t certain until the x-rays on the 16th. She was shot, with the round piercing her right cheek, and then exiting through her left jaw. I have calmed down enough that I will let the Sheriff handle it, rather than just leaving the perp at the curb for Waste Management to pick up. I’ve made it clear that I don’t want to know anything that isn’t absolutely necessary about it, so I don’t have to deal with the anger involved.
