The changing of the guard

Here comes my truck. Who could that be driving?



Why, it's Ranchsitter #4, formally known as Ranchsitter #2.



George: You smell very familiar.



Johnny: I know you. Anybody who rubs the inside of my ears can come visit any time.



Alan: What Johnny said.



 Danni from Critter Farm has returned for another week to tend to all our needs. 
We're absolutely delighted to welcome her back.

  9. Nice to see you back, Danni. So glad you are able to help out at the ranch. You have to be a donkey and horse handler, a snake wrestler, a pig and cat lover. Oh and a dog and chicken show person. The list goes on. If you ever needed to request a farm hand, Carson can you imagine your newspaper help wanted ad. I forgot a photographer too. Wow! Not many could fill that spot. Best always,

  10. Okay, I'm just packing my stuff and on my way to Critters farm, to ranch sit while Danny is at 7MSN. Anyone keen to look after my 3 rabbits in Amsterdam?

  11. Ranch Sitter #2/#4 is that all around hallelujah I sure am glad to see you person.....and on top of all her skill set buttons she possesses, she also is very pretty lady. I mean the Cuckoos have seen photos of her lovely face but you captured something very special in the last shot. Beautiful.
    Hope you two enjoy your visit this time uninterrupted by the dreaded "unexpecteds". XOXO from Casa de Cuckoo

  13. So glad things are looking up. I missed the whole pain/clinic/hospital/surgery drama by having the audacity to go on a chick trip to Alaska and Victoria BC with my high school buddy from San Diego. I can't be gone for 3 weeks again or some other life changing event will happen and me with no electronic devices (not even a cell phone). Luckily (or perhaps not) my husband bought an IPad while I was gone. Future trips may allow for connection (although there was no connection while cruising in Alaska on small ship)
    Glad you are on the mend.

  18. I just checked out Danni's blog and she hasn't done a post in over a year. Does she have another blog ? She's from Portland .. wow .. she came a long way to visit with you and your gang.

    Hope you are feeling better each day.

    xo,
    JC

  20. Danni seems like a really nice person who knows her way around an itchy ear, but does she actually read this blog? Doesn't she know that Johnny is a feral cat, and as such is strictly forbidden to stretch out on laps and appear to be in bliss? Is this not a complete violation of that sacred vow we all made the day he came to 7MSN? As I recall the chant went: "We will NOT get attached, we will not get attached, we will not get attached." Now I'm hearing whispers and rumblings of Johnny being given a key to the sunroom. For shame.

  21. Oh, they are not comfortable with her at all are they :)

    So much love to go around.

    Don't make her have to tie you down while you are mending, please.

  22. Festive time in 7MSN with all the additional hugging and scratching of
    all your exceptional ranchsitters! hope you are feeling better Linda!

  23. Johnny you're going to play catnip ball again!! woohoo!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Danni is the best and Johnny wants to adopt her, I think ;)

  25. Great to hear that the ranch is under good handsl for another week. You better watch out, JCC may come up missing when Danni leaves; you know how cats like to hide in bags :)

  26. Danni's back.......*sigh*

    ReplyDelete
  27. So many kind (and -wow- FUNNY!!) comments...I am enjoying all of you thoroughly!
    (thank you!)
    From my perspective, Carson is doing an excellent job of recuperating and, I believe, the healing will go much better this time around. :-)

    Signed,
    Ranch Sitter #2 and Ranch Sitter #4

  28. Priceless photo of the "feral" cat. (Riiiight) Alan is just too cute. He looks like he'll start drooling any minute.

  29. So nice to see the blue skies instead of the dark and stormy horizon (and the rain) from just a week ago.

    Danni is a natural with critters, regardless of the state in which they live. I am touched by the way she reacquaints herself with each resident of 7MSN upon her return.

  30. I had an intuition that Danni would be back. Good. She is perfect. What a gift to you all!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Is that Johnny Cat stretching out? Wow! He's come a LONG way! Glad Danni is back to give you some much-needed help! All the animals look happy, too! :-)

  32. I do believe Johnny is in love! That photo is too much.

    I don't think the Ranch has ever had so much activity. Trucks comin' and goin' through all kinds of weather. The antelope must be wondering what's happening to the neighbourhood. *grin*

    Danni - you're on my call list, if I ever need a farm sitter. Get your passport ready. *grin*

    Linda, you are one well loved lady, my friend. So glad you're being so well looked after.

    Big Squishy Hugs all 'round,
    Carolynn
