Settling in
(From this)
And with all new experiences we are learning as we go. Mac & Shirley are doing great. They seem to enjoy their new space, have very good appetites and are not too interested in the sheep :) The dogs are still getting used to Mac's roars, which sound like a cross between a bull and Chewbacca! Here I thought all they did was chuff, one more thing learned :) Both are taking their antibiotics well and we hope to see improvement on Shirley's bite wound on her foot and also the sore on Mac's shoulder. In talking with the USDA agent we found that their diet over the past few months had been less then adequate so we are taking every precaution to see that they get a balanced diet with plenty of calcium and vitamins.
(to this!)
The cougars are none too happy to have such large neighbors, but they are getting used to them already. Now that the big cats are here, we have gone back to our first priority of finishing up the new 6000 sq. ft cougar pen for DJ, Nada and Kennewick. It will be so nice to have that finished and get them moved into the new space! It's been a crazy past few months but we feel good about helping rescue Mac & Shirley and being able to continue doing the work that we do. Each and every one of our rescues is special to us and we are grateful to be able to provide a quality life to them all.
