Poor Little Nox

February 23, 2024 Last week, I noticed Nox was licking her left front foot. I thought she might have a burr stuck to her foot, so I turned her over to take a look. Her poor foot! She didn’t have a burr or anything I could see, but she had licked one pad raw. She […]

Regular Living Task – Washing Nox and Her Bedding

February 13, 2024 The other day, the weather warmed up enough to wash Nox. She had been needing a bath for a while, but we don’t like wash her when it is cold. We don’t like her to be wet in the cold. Seeing her shivering from the cold worries us. I first washed Nox’s […]

A Walk on the Beach at Jekyll Island, Georgia

November 30, 2023 We did manage to make it to the beach at low tide. We saw pelicans gliding through the air and a few seagulls. Nox enjoyed the breeze as she was carried in her backpack. The beach was empty of sea shells, except for sand dollars. We walked back along the beach path […]
