Which way to Marcy's house?

I took 7124 steps yesterday. I was surprised that it was that many. I did a whole lot of nothin' yesterday. Several hours on the couch..... lazy, depressing day. I counted 25 steps from the refrigerator to the couch- 50 round trip! 20 from the bathroom to the couch, and 20 from the computer to the couch. You see the couch is the common denominator here. Some days, I just can't seem to get off of it. True couch potato. A dud spud!!!! I think I am going to try to hit 20,000 steps, 10,000 doesn't seem to be enough to do any good.

I have had the girls in and out all week. An adjustment, to say the least, but I know it is temporary. You get out of the groove of having someone else living in your space and it does become another dynamic. Marcy showed up last night with another addition to the Zoo. We started calling her Dr. Doolittle, because the animals just seem to flock to her. This winter she was walking into a pet store and a rat walked up to her in the parking lot. Ok, how many times has that happened to you? Poor thing was cold and hungry, so she scooped it up, took it home and nursed it back to health from a cold and found it a new home. In the last 2 weeks she added the following to her brood.
Karlee found a snake in the basement, a corn snake, not something that lives in your yard, but a pet. Marcy tried to save it but it was too dehydrated and didn't make it. Last week she called and found 3 chicken hatchlings roaming around her back yard. One escaped under the fence and she went to the neighbors trying to find out who they belonged to. No one claimed them so now 2  live in a kiddy pool in her basement.  She is still worried about the 3rd one, it has not been back.  Last night she came in with a rabbit that she found out was living on someone’s front porch in a cardboard box with no food or water. Again, Marcy to the rescue. She brought it over and it was the tamest little rabbit and even played well with the dogs. A cute little white lop eared. Bless her heart she can't seem to turn anything away. The “up for adoption” list is now getting out of hand, but I just can't seem to make her understand that she can't save every animal she comes across. She needs several acres and a barn! Maybe someday. Anyway, here is what is available, if anyone knows of a good home, please pass it on.

1 large Iguana-

2 Birds- They are friends and it would be nice if they could stay together.

1 hamster

2 chicks

1 rabbit

I think that is it for now....until the next stray finds out where she lives.



Have a great day~
