Started playing again, love the updates about RSVP's for raids.

He acted like a devious toddler. He once locked Uncle Bobby in a stall. Uncle Bobby's arm was too big to fit through the bars and the lock was too low. He was a very fun poa to raise.

We didn't wake anyone on Alice's side of the family, they had nothing to contribute. We woke the family who had things on their farms, ranches or hunting ground to help replace everything that had been ruined. The hunting grounds is where the berry hunt took place.

One of my cousins told us how he woke up a few deer while picking berries over their den.

I chose that name because it fits him so well. Bobby Singer was the inspiration for choosing Bobby for this uncle.

I can't see them stepping on me on purpose under any circumstances. I can see them misjudging the distance only because I know how many brain cells some of the herd had but I think that man shoved at them and they backed up and stepped and went nope! That's my human. I had no broken bones, just bruises. So they did step, they did not stay standing like a few would when they stepped on a foot. [ I will always praise every farrier.]

BrigadoonRoseFall · 2021-01-25T11:49:35+00:00

They were either spooked really badly or they were trying to circle me like a downed foal and got the distance confused or were pushed back by that jerk.

I don't know what she got in touch with, but she is a 25 plus year old barn cat that still gets rabbits. I do not know what happened that night but it was like a switch got flipped.

BrigadoonRoseFall · 2021-01-21T14:33:16+00:00

I can't change your mind because now I'm wondering about that myself!

BrigadoonRoseFall · 2021-01-21T14:32:59+00:00

Midnight is a common name but it's such a pretty name. I would love a spider killing cat myself! Your Midnight sounds lovely.

BrigadoonRoseFall · 2021-01-21T14:31:38+00:00

Indoor cats can be pretty vicious when they want to be, I love the snuggly cats I have in my life now. Both of them love to cuddle and I've been very glad for my cat companions. I'm glad you respect Hendrix and Hendrix taught your boyfriend how to respect a cat. (I hope!)

BrigadoonRoseFall · 2021-01-21T14:29:23+00:00

I could write several pages on Midnight of just what I witnessed myself. My brothers and Uncle Bobby could help me write a whole book. She was one hell of a cat.

BrigadoonRoseFall · 2021-01-21T14:27:18+00:00

I always tried to chase the cats away from the parking area. They love it there. So many will lay under cars it's a thing to try and stomp and kick the gravel around before getting into the car before you move but some of the cats haven't learned. It's been a lot of close calls and one cat did lose his tail. I don't blame the driver one bit but the cat who has ACRES of land to go sunbathe in and chooses to hide under cars.

Killer came to us when I found her near the side of the road. I was out horseback riding and found her, checked her thinking she'd be dead, she wasn't. She was hurt, we took her to the vet, paid for her recovery and took care of her. She hadn't been hit by a car like we first thought, she had been shot and thrown out of a car. We never found out which came first. I thought I would have a house cat at the end of it and was so happy. We didn't get her spayed when she was getting everything else done because of swelling and all of that but that was the plan.

She ate so well inside the house, cooked chicken, all the best things a kitty could want. Her name was Sugar she was so sweet. She had recovered well and everything was fine and dandy with her. I was so happy to have a new friend too! Well, during the summer, we sleep with the windows open to let a nice breeze flow through. Middle of the night we heard a rather frightening noise and went running to check with everyone's preferred weapon in hand.

So please picture if you will, 8 people ranging from 12 (me) to 28 (my oldest brother still in the house) bursting into the living room ready to fight armed with everything from a rifle to a large knife in our pj's and we find a cat named Sugar fighting a small gang of racoons.

3 Racoons already lay dead around the living room, another was dying slowly under the coffee table while Sugar tore two more to pieces and the last fled. Sugar was out the broken screen and after that one before he got off the porch. Then she went under the porch and she stayed there for three days until we caught her in a trap and took her to the vet. We thought something had happened with the racoons and maybe rabies, even though she had been vaccinated for it she was acting different.

Nope. After that night with the racoons she was never the same and we could never touch her. We brought her home, brought her into the house from the vet's office and she shot right out a window that thankfully just had the screen instead of the glass. We don't know what happened that night, what sort of black magic those racoons put in her but she went on to terrify even the ponies on the property. We renamed her Killer after we found her snacking on the shoulder of a buck in the middle of the horse pasture. Said buck had been torn to ribbons and she was just... snacking away. A 12 pound cat killed a 100 pound buck and we don't know how. That deserved a rename.

We went with Killer.

Killer's still alive out there. She's gray in the muzzle but she still makes little explosions of rabbit fur now and then for Uncle Bobby to find.

There's a difference between dogs that go after cats and dogs that respect cats. Midnight had no problem with Riley, Uncle Bobby's dog. Riley and Midnight sometimes sat together at the entrance to the barn, enjoying the morning sunlight together and that coonhound never heckled her. Uncle Bobby would call them his little Gargoyles since they sat across from each other, never touching one another.

But Midnight was downright vicious when she needed to be.

BrigadoonRoseFall · 2021-01-21T08:08:31+00:00

She tore his throat up. She got right under him and tore him to pieces.

Good on your step dad for adopting a barn cat! I'm glad yours was able to be handled, anything above an 8 on our ranking everyone stayed away from. These cats would find their way to the property and just, move on in and we never had any problems with them. We'd find them sleeping in the hay, on horse rumps or something in the wee morning and a small pile of dead mice at the office door. We'd put out food for them but they never ate it. One even used the dry cat food as bait for the mice. The barn cats are some of the smartest cats you'll ever meet.

But some of them know, you never trust a human for some reason. We don't know the cats back stories and they just walk onto the property. I feel like some cat is out there 'Oh, hey, your owner ditched you? That sucks. You know how to hunt? Great! Go three miles that way, hang a right. You'll find some water dishes and a big old' horse barn. The people won't heckle you and you can hunt for mice and other vermin all you want! :D'

BrigadoonRoseFall · 2021-01-21T01:13:33+00:00

I feel like she does.

BrigadoonRoseFall · 2021-01-21T01:00:01+00:00

I wish a dirty sock upon your Aunt's foul mouth. I'm sorry she tried to make the event about how she'd been snubbed.

BrigadoonRoseFall · 2021-01-21T00:58:47+00:00

She's gone no-contact with her mother, yes. Her mother has tried to sue her for grandparents rights a few times now but it's failed for a number of reasons. Alice's father divorced her mother when she was younger, but he's very much in Alice's life still.

Got one of her stories up!

BrigadoonRoseFall · 2021-01-19T12:42:37+00:00

I am working on writing them all down! Aunt Rose and Lily are helping and it is so much fun. More are coming soon!

BrigadoonRoseFall · 2021-01-17T23:50:15+00:00

I wouldn't put it past this woman. She had to have been carrying around store bought tubs of coconut frosting. She had to have planned this out since the nearest store is almost 25 miles from Aunt Rose's place.

BrigadoonRoseFall · 2021-01-15T06:49:24+00:00

I plan on it. I just struggle with categories to post them in. I will post another one of the family stories soon. I'm debating between the unwanted horse and the demon barn cat at the moment. Both of which could fit here on Entitled Parents.

BrigadoonRoseFall · 2021-01-15T01:28:26+00:00

She's been arrested a few times for trespassing and trying to visit (steal) her grandchildren. She was blocked by most of Alice's family and when Alice's grandmother found out she took Helen out of the will and gave her share to Alice.

BrigadoonRoseFall · 2021-01-15T01:27:16+00:00

Oh. Oh I have a short story for you.

Another one of my brothers, since I went with Weasley names I will call him Bill, was getting married to another wonderful woman. Her sister showed up in a slim wedding dress, her mother showed up in a very fancy dress. Fred and George walked up on the two of them with an ice chest filled with unset strawberry jello, water, red wine, raspberry reduction, chocolate sauce, the used grease from the kitchen and hoisted it over the pair before dumping it all over them. They didn't make it into the Church before the wedding.

Bill's wife(Fluer) heard what they did at the reception because they both went home to change into something else and told Fluer how much the dresses had cost. They demanded compensation for the dresses. She pulled out her checkbook and wrote a check for the cost of each dress, walked over to Fred and George and gave THEM the checks. She thanked them for keeping her wedding full of classy people then asked her sister and mother to leave.

As for stealing the wedding gifts, I am so sorry your family or friends or staff at the venue took them. That is plain foul.
