Puppy Cam

Mema Jo said...

Try to have a good night's rest with deep deep sleep, my Friend! loL ♥

hedgie said...

Been lurking in between what seems like 100 phone calls this evening!! Now trying to watch my shows.
Paula, so sorry to hear about your ex.....praying that he has peace throughout his journey.
Night, Sharon. Wake up feeling better in the morning!!

hedgie said...

Helen, meant to tell you that Maddie is a real cutie!!
Hey, Anne Marie...long time no see! You have missed a lot lately!!
Lolly, have a safe trip to Houston and a nice early Christmas. Watch those hands!

paula eagleholic said...

Hmmm, sounds like AnneMarie has been busy! ♥

deb said...

Paula, prayers are being sent.

paula eagleholic said...

Thank you all so much!

Lolly said...

Lady playing with pups!

NatureNut said...

Saw Paula's message---Thoughts & Prayers for your family. ╬

Mits said...

snowing in PA:)

Lolly said...

Thanks Hedgie! Hands are wrapped. I take the bandages off for longer periods, but then they start to ache. Will take the ace bandages off for the wedding and reception. ☺

Paula..prayers for your ex and family. That is really tough.

Mema Jo said...

Closing down for the day....

Paula - Prayers for your ex & family

Good Night Everyone
Peace to you & yours
Prayers for all our needs
((hugs)) ♥

Lolly said...

Nite Jo! Sweet dreams!

Costume Lady said...

It's just about that time again. Sandman is making his rounds.
We had some super nice visits from our Royal Pair today...hope to see some more of them tomorrow.
Sissy, my heart was so heavy today, thinking of you. Sounds like you have had a lifetime of heartaches. You are with a lot of friends now, who love you and have you in our prayers.
PAULA, prayers are with your ex, that he will have a peaceful end to his life. I was so touched by your compassion and caring for him...prayers for you too.

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
MANY PRAYERS BEING SAID TONIGHT

Costume Lady said...

Hope your sleep is a refreshing one for you tonight, Sharon...wherever you are???

hedgie said...

Good night, Jo. Sleep well.
Lolly, don't let anyone try to shake hands with you!
Yes, Paula, I should have said that my thoughts are with you, too. Regardless of circumstances, I think most of us have compassion for our exes if for no other reason than because they are the other parent to our children, and we have to walk that tightrope for them.

hedgie said...

Heading for tub. Everyone stay warm and have a good night...sweet dreams, and may we all have peace in our hearts. God bless us every one.

paula eagleholic said...

Actually, we have remained friendly. Whatever circumstances caused us to go our separate ways, there was never any animosity. He's always been a good Dad to John. It's just such a sad thing. I know what it's like to lose your father.

Mits said...

EAGLE CAM IS GOING PSYCO TONIGHT:(

Mits said...

yes, Paula, it is very sad:(

paula eagleholic said...

I think it's froze!

Gnite, all.

Good morning everyone. It is a cold and snowy morning here in Bluefield.

wvgal_dana said...

LISA AT BWO RESPONDCE TO EMAIL I SENT YESTERDAY: There is a metal screen on the bottom of the platform. So the sticks on the right blew out, and now you can see the screen. But a bird could still stand on it if they needed to. It's not an actual hole in the nest.

If we get a new thread an it is after 9:15am. Could someone please move this onto new thread ty.

magpie said...

We have an Eagle at Maine Nest..

Brrrr

magpie said...

Picking and Grinning....


It's Friday - Find some Red... ♥

magpie said...

Well, I don't know long she was there, but she ain't there anymore !

magpie said...

Even in the midst of the whirlygig at OUR NEST - you can see some daylight and a few glimpses of nest..

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Margy

I've been over in emails.

magpie said...

I just got home, DANA, checked our nest first of course and saw the blipping, so moved to some of the others, Eagles calling in Maine. Some. We might even be able to see an Eagle in our nest if one shows up but it will be a very squirrely view.

I'm pretty much going to straight to bed, will read up on everything in a few hours....

You all have a Good Day! xox ♥

magpie said...

Finney Nest is Spectacular....empty but beautiful...

I'm still surfing just a little bit...

magpie said...

Toms in the Snow In Pennsylvania...

wvgal_dana said...

Ok Margy sent you a email you can check it out later. I'm going back to bed myself.

Sleep well sweet lady ^j^ ^j^

wvgal_dana said...

Paula my thoughts and prayers are with You and Your Son. With Rob and wife and children and surrounding family members. May God Bless Him With PEACE that passes all Understanding.....

magpie said...

Backtracking because I have to...

Paula, read your post from last night about your family, I am so very sorry, and hope that the days ahead will have comfort and peace for all. You know we are your prayer family...

glo said...

Good morning everyone. I am off for coffee and dog treats. Keep and eye and ear out for them eagles. They always put smiles on the hearts of everyone, which is a very good thing.

Red said...

Good Friday morning all y'all. Maybe the cam will work better when it warms up a bit. Hoping anyway.

Red said...

This cam problem is usually caused by a leaky capacitor on the cam electronics board. Warmer temps will sometimes fixe it. If not someone will need to replace it.

Red said...

Helen, You can fix your Avitar in your profile. Just edit your profile and Redirect your photograph. That should fix it.

wvgal_dana said...

Like to ask for prayers for a "wonderful lady that passed away on Wednesday". For her husband who is not well (not long to live). For their daughter and her husband and their 2 children. This lady and her husband came "more" into my life. When my daughter was age 1. My daughter is now 27. They have a lot of friends also.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning everyone.

I am still in Bedford. It is cold but no snow.

Red said...

Prayers going out to everyone Dana. Seems like lots are needing them recently. It's not too much to ask for. We all have so much to be thankful for.

Red said...

Good morning Sharon. Hope you are feeling better each day.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Thanks Red. I am feeling better each day, just little glitches here and there. I have oral candidiasis (thrush) now that I am on medicine for.

Thelma just called and told me to look outside. It is snowing in Bedford now.

Red said...

Well at least there's no pain with candidiasis. Just more anitbotics I suppose.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

You are right Red. No pain, just aggravataion. Nystatin swish and swalllow.

Mits said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...ITS FRIDAY:)

Mits said...

Margy, know you are resting, but last night after midnight you could see the same daylight patch. on the nest..it would flash from light to dark.

Red said...

Seems like something is always picked up in hospitals anymore.

ceil said...

Good morning. Have eye doctor appt today so will not be able to see to be on the blog until later.

Red you are right.
Helen you asked the names of the falcon on USF&G building. I know the first female was Scarlett and I think the male was Bret.

Mits said...

that is right Scarlett and Rhett

Mits said...

Red, long time ago, I once picked up a doctor in the hospital:)

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Good morning again everyone. Mits you are a hoot!!

Mits said...

hotie-hoot hoot:)

Red said...

Ha ha. Good one Helen. Last time I was in the hospital I had a woman anaesthesiaologist. The first thing I told her in recovery was. "You are the prettiest doctor I ever slept with". She came to see me every day. lol

Mits said...

Red, I have nothing in my profile.

ceil said...

That is right Rhett not Bret. LOL

She did Sissy. I think he picked her up.

Mits said...

Dr Rios was his name....

ceil said...

I think Steve must be off today. No new thread yet.

Mits said...

ceil said...

Off to eye doctor. BBL

Mits said...

ceil said...

Snowing in Baltimore.

Mits said...

zippo, Red....I changed my e-mail the other day when I got Fios.....a question for you Red....with comcast high-speed Internet...I could use my comcast mail and my outlook express....now I can only use one or the other???? Want to pop up here and give me a hand

Mits said...

eye will see you later Ceil;)

Red said...

Helen, Email optons are through your provider. Apparently Comcast allowed both but Verizon dosen't. But either way changing email should not affect your Avitar.

NatureNut said...

Good morning everyone in Eagleland. Snowman cam has LOTS of white stuff!
If you're getting snow in Baltimore, Ceil, we may not be far behind----gotta get to work!!
(BTW, I had a neat plastic surgeon who we called Dr. Tall, Blonde, & Handsome!!Had a great sense of humor, too.All that helps when you have to get sliced and diced.)

FRIDAY UPDATE FOR LUNEY.......

Friday, November 21
“Wouldn't be easier for the cub to develop his crawling skills on a surface that isn't slippery?”

This seems to be a frequent question that is being asked of us recently as the cub continues to squirm about the den. I can assure you that he is right on track in developing his crawling skills, which will eventually turn into walking. Just as with humans, he needs to develop not only the coordination but the strength needed to support his body weight. We have seen signs of this, as Heather has mentioned in her Nov 15th and 16th updates, but he not quite there yet. Even when placed on a different surface during his weight checks he can push up with his front limbs, but cannot stand on his hind limbs for more than a second or two. Some may remember the non-slip strips that we added to a section of the floor when Mei Lan was learning to walk and I have to say I never saw that these strips really help her out. This cub, just as Mei Lan did, will crawl when it is his time.

We have also lately been asked about the lack of bedding material for the cub. As was mentioned in the November 9th update, the pandas are very comfortable in the dens. The dens are heated and it’s quite cozy in Lun Lun’s and the cub’s area. Bedding is provided to give the pandas a choice of substrates, but Lun Lun chooses not to use the bedding and now prefers to place the cub in areas without bedding. She did the same thing with Mei Lan. Giant pandas have very thick wooly coats, which keep them well insulated and comfortable on surfaces that wouldn’t be comfortable to us. The cub’s coat is dense and wooly too. He is comfortable and content on the bare floor. This is where Lun Lun prefers for him to be and we respect her preference by not moving the cub from the area where she places him.

deb said...

Good morning, everyone, just about ready to leave for SF. Cold here today but no snow, like Bluefield. It was 9 about 8 o'clock, hope it has warmed up some.


I think Paula checked for Helen the other day and she started a whole new profile, Red, instead of changing the old one.

Mits said...

Luney is scooting all over the place

Mits said...

Mei and Tian are playing

Mits said...

Tai is sleeping:)

Mits said...

Thanks, Deb:)

Mits said...

Mits said...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I do have my feet up, Mits and Buddy is laying between my legs on the recliner. He is taking very good care of me. Mopsy is just laying around letting him.

hedgie said...

What are you testing, Mits???

Mits said...

UPDATE FROM POOK'S MOOSE CAM.....

Cow With Calf Arrives
November 20th, 2008

Just as I was shutting down the webcam last night a cow and calf arrived. It appears that this cow has seniority over the lone cow. I don’t know if that’s due to age, size or simply having the calf. So now there are four moose in the yard. Four moose starts to become difficult to manage. You might want to reread my post called Hairy Logistics

Mits said...

That was Sharon, Lynn, testing my new pic of Tai.

hedgie said...

Ah-your avatar is back!! Yippee!
Morning, Sharon....who's Mopsy??
Too bad about the thrush, but, as you know, a/b's can do it!!
Prayers for your friends' family, Dana.

hedgie said...

Finney still had snow in nest this am....of course, dark now.
Wonder if Jo is getting snow...the weather report this am said maybe an inch down her way!
Gotta get ready to go run some errands...headed for Berkeley Springs to get more medicine for dog, and then the usual...post office, bank, etc. Talk with you all later today.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Mopsy is my oldest canine daughter.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Well, Hello, Miss Normabyrd!! We have been missing you. Thanks for the kindness.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
I am at my Mom's right now, having some lunch. I had to take her to the Emergency Room last night with breathing difficulties. They have been running tests and taking blood since 3o'clock. Her doctor came in and had her admitted. They have turned her every which way but loose. Haven't come up with anything yet. She was given an injection and will be given a stress test for her heart. I don't understand any of this that they are doing, but am grateful that she allowed me to take her to the hospital, which is where she belongs. Pleas add her to your prayer list...I will keep you informed.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning Jim.

normabyrd said...

PAULA---I remember your saying (after we watched the EAGLES on PBS)---that you saw some thing you thought was wrong in the show!!---I thought it was wrong that they kept saying the MALE has final say in moving the things in the nest around!!-----Haven't we noticed the FEMALE being the "FINAL ARRANGER" of the nest!!-----What ya think???

paula eagleholic said...

Absolutely, Norma.

paula eagleholic said...

Actually there was something I learned from the show...just can't remember what...it's that old CRS creeping up....

normabyrd said...

HELEN---I bet you might run into STEVEN at the JUNIOR LEAGUE BAZZAR???----must be XMAS shopping!!

normabyrd said...

WANDA---I hope GG is feeling better soon---Bless her heart!-----Aren't you alone---DEER WIDOW?---ho!-----Bet he is FREEZING!---It's always COLD in PENDLETON---COLD here too---expecting more snow!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Well, I think Buddy, Mopsy and I are going to blow off this mountaintop in Bedford. Wind is whipping hard.

Mits said...

Hang on, Sharon....I can't bring up live-feed, went to look at still cam, and now it won't let me get back on...bummer

Bob Quinn said...

Hey!

A friend rescued some kittens from under her porch and is fostering them (she wasn't able to get the mother yet). We decided to take one. We're taking the more orange of the two tabby's (ninth and tenth photos as well as a few others):

Kittens

normabyrd said...

JIM--SISSY---DANA---MAGPIE---RED---CEIL---DEB---GLO--SHARON--& HEDGIE!!!----I think I have now said MORNIN' to every on so far today!!------If not YELL!!!

Bob Quinn said...

Hey Norma!

Red said...

Hi Norma. ☺

normabyrd said...

HI BOB!!---I bet SUZANNE would like to see these kittens---She loves cats!!----I think the orange one seems to have a lot of personality---& I love the kitten with the BRIGHT BLUE eyes!!----

normabyrd said...

RED---I have had a hard time with computer---& the new set up!!---DANA called yesterday & I can now get on the blog!!---We have had snow----not a whole lot----Expecting more today & tonight!!---Do you get snow?

normabyrd said...

HEY!---I see BLUEFIELD has snow----but the roads are clear---

Red said...

Bob, I know someone who might want the kitten in Photo #7 if it's male.

normabyrd said...

EAGLE at BWO!!!----LISA has lots of info---in re: EAGLE videos, etc.

Red said...

I just watched the PBS show about eagles again on their web page. Guess I had missed a little of it.

Bob Quinn said...

Red - That's a female. Apparently the two orange tabby's are male (and they are both spoken for - one by my wife, the other by the foster mom), the gray is a male and the two calicos are female. The orange tabby's have settled down nicely. The other three are still pretty wild and need socializing which the foster mom is working hard at.

normabyrd said...

DANA---You forgot to count the DONKEYS this am!!----ho!----I counted about 20---give or take!!!

magpie said...

Steve has given us a new thread

magpie said...

see you over there !

Red said...

Thanks Bob. I guess no adoption here then.

normabyrd said...

RED!---While I watched the PBS EAGLES---I was amazed how much we have learned about EAGLES!!---ho!------ALSO the EAGLE that our local train found injured close to the track---when DNR came to pick it up--EAGLE started swimming across the river (with injured wing)---& out swam the 2 DNR men---Then EAGLE flipped over showing his talons & ready to fight---they threw a coat over it!---SUCH AWESOME BIRDS!---

Red said...

Norma did you see we have a new thread?
