Spunk has been watching Vintage SNL Shorts with Justin Timberlake on YouTube and got the idea to put his tail in a box.
Our guard hummingbird is vigilant.
Søren: “I handled the drive into town better than you did, stupid, impatient, cranky paparazzo!”
Søren went to the vet today. He had an irritated and swollen eye last Wednesday, but after I got the appointment and paid the deposit for the appointment, his eye was normal by Friday and is still normal today. The vet could see where he had scratched it. She gave us some ointment to put on his eyelid. That will be fun.
Since he is neurotic and doesn’t like change, we thought the drive into town would stress him out. Turns out I was more stressed out with all the stupid, slow drivers than Søren was with the car ride. He was saying, “Hello!”, making noises, and then laughing at me getting after the other drivers. My original plan was to take him to work with me when I normally go early and then take him to the vet. Since we had decided it was best for both of us to take him to the vet, I didn’t mention my idea of taking him to work with me until we were in the car and I was yelling at traffic. Laurie asked Søren if he would like to go to work with me, and he said, “No!” He was much more entertained by my getting mad at other drivers.
Søren was proud of himself after we got back from the vet. He did good.
Nora was in her favorite spot tonight before taking off to find food for Walter and Willa. We did not see or hear Osric tonight.

Lots of news today, Timothy. Gorgeous pictures of sunsets, with and without owls.
Thanks, Roberta.
Love all the wee snippets of your life there.
Thanks, Shey.
Fantastic pics….especially loved Spunk with is tail in the box and Saren…what a character:)
Thanks, Janet.
So pleased Soren’s eye healed, and he found the journey to the vet more entertaining than you did Tim 🤣😂…
Lovely to see the Owl family thriving also.. Great pictures of them all. And beautiful skies again..
Enjoy a stress free rest of your week Tim.. 🙂 and good luck getting that ointment applied 🙂
I’ll try. Thanks, sue.
Sounds like Søren enjoyed the ride contrary to what paparazzo thought, with whom I can relate with all the zombie riders out there. He did good indeed and deserves to be proud… he’s sweet too!
Otherwise, I’m enjoying the skies along with the Owl family.
Everyone should just get off the road when we are driving is the way I feel about slow poky, distracted drivers on their cell phones. Thanks, Marina.
I got such a kick out of your description of the Søren adventure!
It was an adventure. Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim.
My feelings too! 😉
Thanks for this one, Tim. Loved it.
You are welcome, Inchie.
Flight feathers have started. Looks like a jellyfish cloud at sunset.
Thanks, Brad.
Tim, those shots of the hummer are truly amazing! Great catch.
It’s good to see Søren again. That was such a great story about him (except for the eye problem). I could just imagine all that going on in the car. So glad he’s okay. Hugs on the wing.
Thanks, Teagan.
The traffic is the human version of tail in a box. I see how much you need the refuge of open skies and the wild things around you to lower your blood pressure!
Thanks, Susan.
So many bird adventures, glad to hear Søren is doing well!
Thanks, Tiffany.
Ha ha .. tail in the box.
Awww poor bird.. at least he won’t take your finger off getting the ointment in his eye but the pocket book must have taken a hit! He looks no worse for wear from it. Glad the owls are still around.. xo 💓
By vet bill standards, his checkup was very reasonable. Søren’s all proud of himself. Thanks, Cindy.
oh good!!!! What a cutie.. at least he’s no swearing at you like my mom’s African Grey😉
He swears at us and the cats all the time.
Hahahahaha I’ll tell my mom.. she’ll get a kick out of it😘😹
Tim – you MUST write about your further adventures with Soren! It would be a best seller. I felt that I was in the car with you, sharing the journey.
Well that was an entertaining adventure. Otherwise, we don’t have a lot of adventures other than Søren blabbering to himself, telling himself jokes and laughing his head off, imitating me and Laurie, singing Lola by The Kinks, making up various versions of More Cowbell, and cursing at us and the cats. Thanks, Rebecca.
I can see a reality show in the making!!! LOL
Ha!
You have quite the menagerie Tim!
We do. Both domestic and wild. Thanks, Brad.
It was good to see Søren again. I am glad the eye problem was a minor one. You still have Beaker, too?
That was a perfect ending to the day with owls, moon Sandias and more magnificent work by The Painter.
Beaker is still as ornery and ever. Thanks, Lavinia.
We love old Spunk, too.
Gorgeous cat, truly fabulous bird and the owlets are getting so big. Love all of it. Soren is adorable.
Thanks, Gigi.
Soren probably should have his own reality show. Glad that eye is on the mend…and that he enjoyed the drive…even if you did not.😊
That’s the last thing Søren needs. Thanks, Bruce.
Ahh, animal life at Tim’s!
Søren is gorgeous!
Hey, did Spunkie-Poo 💋 shred the hole at the bottom of his tail box? xo
Yes he did. Spunk the destroyer. Thanks, Resa.
Lololol!!!!
Tail in a box! 🤣 that was too funny and what a cute picture of your cat!
Your parrot looks like he is full of spunky attitude ☺️
Thanks, Becky.
Seems your inflammatory language re: other drivers was very entertaining for Soren. Anything to put the patient in good spirits! Good luck on the ointment application.
You got sent to spam jail again. Spam must have found “Good luck on the ointment application.” to be offensive. Thanks, JYP.
And I didn’t even comment on putting one’s tail in the box, although I feel like the euphemistic jokes write themselves, hehe. I’ll never understand Spam jail.
You didn’t Eeven include what I was referencing, “Dick In A Box.”
I know! But Spam jail read my inappropriate mind anyway
Apparently.
Shhhh, do not say the word vet too loud our the boys will hear it and I won’t be able to find them for days. I hope Soren’s eye gets better. I had to go back and watch those d in a box skits on SNL – had to remind myself that show was actually funny at one point – have not watched it for probably 5 or 6 years now.
I haven’t watched SNL on TV since the early 80s. Some of their old skits are funny. Celebrity Jeopardy is hilarious, especially Sean Connery. Those music videos like D in the box, Jizz In My Pants, and I’m On A Boat are classics. Thanks, Brian.
Oh Soren is a beauty … good to know the eye is better! Pats to Spunk! Gorgeous owl pics
Thanks, Julie.
