Sit down my wounded friend
You’re safe at home again
Or in a strange hotel
Where we can play pretend
But when it rains
My heart it soars
What’s yours is mine
What’s mine is yours
There’s still a cloud
Hangs over my head
Can’t block it out
I’m going to bed
Sit down, sit down again
There’s nothing left to lose
It’s still a golden age
When all I have is you
But when it rains
My heart it soars
What’s yours is mine
What’s mine is yours
But there’s still a cloud
Hangs over my head
Can’t block it out
So I’m going to bed
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound.
What a horrible day I had yesterday!
It started with my son calling me....a rarity in itself....usually it's me who calls to check in with him, with him always sounding slightly annoyed that I don't think he can handle taking care of a few cats..
So, he announces that Floydd has not shown up for the morning feeding, and he can't find him. I didn't immediately panic. "Morning Feeding" is a relative term when your talking about my son, who usually rolls out of bed around the crack of noon.. Chances were that Floydd had given up on breakfast and had moved on to the early afternoon nap, he is not as driven by his stomach as Leo or Simon is.. When he zonks out, he's dead to the world and not responding to ANYTHING! He also squirrels himself away in little hidy-holes.
It wasn't until Larry got back home later in the afternoon, and Floydd still had not surfaced,. and Larry said he had checked the entire house thoroughly, I realize that Floydd must have gotten out, and THEN I started to panic. Chris and Larry searched the entire neighborhood. Knocked on doors....put a sign in the corner convenience store. I felt SO compelled to get in the car and drive home, but realized that there was nothing I could do that Larry and Chris were not already doing.
Long story short.....(and a WHOLE bunch of tears later), I finally got a text from my son around 2a.m., saying that Floydd had finally showed up. Chris heard him crying outside the backdoor, when the thunder started to roll from a storm that was blowing through.
I hope this teaches everyone to be A LOT more vigilant when they go out the door. That little orange bugger is QUICK! If your not paying attention he can slip right through your feet!
He doesn't stake out the door often, but if he has his little heart set on escaping he can be pretty persistent. .
University of Pittsburgh Police Officers recently held a SAFE course for the ALPHA DELTA PI sorority.
On Wednesday, June 24, The Virginia Aquarium Stranding Response Team released six rehabilitated Kemp’s ridley turtles that were hooked by recreational fishermen. The Kemp’s ridley is the most endangered sea turtle species.
This year’s naming theme for rehab patients at the Aquarium is “Disney characters.”
• Elsa was hooked at Little Island Fishing Pier in Sandbridge on May 21. The hook was caught in the upper esophagus and was successfully removed under sedation at Beach Pet Hospital. After treatment with antibiotics and nutritional support, Elsa is ready to be released back to the ocean.
• Minnie Mouse was hooked on June 8 at Little Island Fishing Pier in Sandbridge. Minnie was taken to Beach Pet Hospital and the hook was removed easily under mild sedation. After a couple of weeks of nutritional support, Minnie is ready for release.
• Sven was hooked on June 8 at Buckroe Fishing Pier in Hampton. Sven swallowed a large shark hook that was removed under sedation at Beach Pet Hospital. Once some mild swelling resolved, Sven began eating well and is ready for release.
• Scar was hooked on June 9 at Buckroe Fishing Pier in Hampton. The hook was removed without sedation. Scar’s blood work and x-rays showed no other health concerns and after some nutritional support, Scar is ready for release.
• Genie was hooked on June 9 at Virginia Beach Fishing Pier on 15th Street. The fisherman reported using a small J-hook, but no hook was observed when the Stranding Response team arrived. Genie’s blood work and x-rays showed no other health concerns. Genie received nutritional support and is ready for release.
• Pumba was hooked on June 19 at Virginia Beach Fishing Pier on 15th Street. Pumba was caught by a treble hook in the corner of the mouth that was removed with minimal damage. Pumba’s x-rays and blood work showed no other health concerns and Pumba is ready for a quick release back to the sea. Hakuna matata!
The Stranding Response Team urges anyone who sees a hooked turtle to call the 24-hour hotline 757 385-7575. Bring the turtle up onto the pier or boat using a net, do not attempt to remove the hook yourself, and keep the turtle contained in a quiet, shaded area until Stranding Response personnel arrives.
