Look'in out my back door

[Nebraska]

I got given another gift of a sunset while I was working on my mill this evening.

 

 I said thank you...

[newoodguy78]

Wow that's beautiful. 

[Menagerie-Manor]

It's out my back door I promise.




 

[thecfarm]

I bet neither of them pictures last long.  :(

[Nebraska]

Menagerie that is really sweet. The good Lord throws many extremely beautiful moments at all of us. I am terribly guilty of being too self absorbed  many times to appreciate them when they come.  I screwed up a rivnut mounting my new log scale mount  on the mill, I had to run back up to the house and get another one.  On the way back down the hill I had the oh shoot moment. I stopped took some pictures  and remembered to say thank you for the present. The mill could wait a minute.

Not a sunset picture from my back door, just another interesting day found a patient that is slower than I am.  At least that's what the girls told me....

[Old Greenhorn]

Geez Pat, I am scrolling down and see your face, the blue scrubs, and the hands, and for a second I thought your were Doc Henderson. :D Under the right conditions, you guys look similar. But I don't think Doc has any 3 toed sloths for patients. Not even sure they have any in KS and I am wondering how one made it to NE? :D ;D

[doc henderson]

No Tom, not for patients, just for friends!     

[Stephen1]

I spent years appreciating sunsets and sunrises working on the Railroad. I was always amazed at a lot other guys I worked with that sluffed off the beauty of the minute.

Tom,

   Doc did not have any three-toed patients before surgery but what about afterwards? :D :D

[Old Greenhorn]

Howard, that's a question you would have to discuss with Doc, but I am sure HIPPA would put a crimp in the discussion.
 Doc, I have more than three toes (on each foot), so I am sure you can't be talking about me.  I have worked with a lot of guys that exhibit sloth like capabilities. However, none of those guys were anywhere near as cute as that little fella snuggled in Nebraska's arm with his little stuffed buddy.

I thought it was Jim King resurrected. Only he befriended the jungle monkeys in the Amazon. Yes, I do mean monkeys. ;)

[Nebraska]

Oh I had  a monkey in the room too. Dexter came along as well. The actual patient was a white (more Carmel colored) Raccoon who got neutered.  Jody had recently gotten the sloth and brought it along to show. The towel was necessary as those dudes have some serious claws for gripping trees. I think he is 3 or 4 months old, I can't remember exactly as I was in and out of the room doing other things.



   The other picture the girls took.

Here's the monkey pictures

 

  Owner... she's got a monkey on her back.... :D


 Dr Allyssa....hey want to share that apple....

I have a very interesting job some days.  Needless to say work slows way down when the animal show comes to the clinic...

[barbender]

That first monkey looks like he could be a criminal😁

[Nebraska]

Oh he is...cupboard larceny, remote control destruction just general disorderly conduct by what I'm told...

    Our home town vet where I grew up had an office just across the state line in Flomaton Ala. I came in one day and he had all his pictures and diplomas and such down and was scrubbing the walls and cussing a blue streak. Seems someone came in with a monkey with the runs and it got loose and "painted" his whole office. He was not a happy camper!

[Magicman]

A family here once owned a Chimp (I think because I don't know monkeys) who was a great helper on the farm doing odd chores.  It was decided that Cedo needed "fixing" so off to the Vet they went. 

After he recovered they could NOT travel down the street toward the Vet's clinic.  He would go berserk/crazy.   

[WV Sawmiller]

Lynn,

   Do you blame him? Chimps and gorillas are very smart. You can look into their eyes and see the reasoning going on.

    I had a close friend in Albany Ga who visited a local park that had a small zoo of sorts with a bunch of monkeys that were always begging for treats. When someone would throw them a piece of candy or peanut or such the lucky monkey would grab it and run around the cage and swallow it before the others could steal it from him. My buddy walked in with one of those Atomic fireball cinnamon balls. He had it in his mouth to get the candy coating off then tossed it to the monkeys. The monkey who grabbed it ran to the corner and swallowed it right down. Jack said for years after that if he walked past that cage that monkey would see him and start screaming running around the cage. He said that monkey never forgot his face or that fireball! :D

I had my head buried in my project not really paying attention to my surroundings and a little voice said maybe I should look up....

[Nebraska]

I played Marlin Perkins yesterday, 3 fallow deer bucks tuberculosis tested for sale to a different breeder. They were darted with a sedative, tattooed and tested, then a reversal agent administered and 10 minutes later they were up and gone, looking for the does. First time for everything, it was an interesting (very blessed) day yesterday. The process went smoother than I imagined. Owner is a retired pilot, interesting character.
 



 
  Sunrise light on the pond the other morning.

With these deer, is there concern for CWD in the deer? Some places, such as Wisconsin, the Chronic Wasting Disease has become a huge concern and thought to have been introduced to Wisconsin through transfer of deer between breeders. Don't know if they have a test that can be administered to live animals. Best I know, the disease is only transferred among the Cervidae family (elk, deer, moose). 

[rusticretreater]

In Virginia hunters are required to take their deer to a testing station so yes there is a test for it.  If it is a big concern in your area as you have said, there should be something online about it.

[beenthere]

We have testing stations, but my question pertains to a "live" animal test. i.e. like Nebraska taking test samples for tuberculosis from a live animal. 

Our tests are after the cervid is dead and the lymph nodes in the neck behind the ears are removed for the lab test.
