Thanks, Barkeep!

We feed our barn cats on the workshop veranda. Dry food in the morning, wet food in the evening. Water dish is filled in the morning and checked in the evening, when it usually has some left and/or is replenished. The next morning it is always absolutely empty. We aren't sure what empties it, although we suspect raccoons, possums, or maybe even the fox that visits from time to time. In any case, yesterday morning spousal unit went out to feed them (I'm still laid up with my back) and found this little note in the water dish. He just had to bring it in and take a picture. It had us both laughing hysterically.

Could be a complaint that the water dish is dry in the middle of the night.

I used to feed squirrels xtra chunky peanut butter sandwiches during Chicago winters.

One winter, they "gave back," with 2 walnuts on my car battery under the hood & 3 on my porch.
