I went to the doctor yesterday to get a 6 week checkup on my mallet finger. He informs me that I may have another 6 weeks of healing...but that I can gradually remove my splint for very limited times/activities--and it must always be in place while sleeping. Although as I quietly sat watching TV and removed my splint, I was quickly in pain as my finger started to droop.
While at the doctor's office, I observed some fledged mockingbirds. They were busy hopping about the landscape begging, and the parents were flitting about feeding them. I was reminded how devastating cats can be as these little mobile feline/canine snacks were easy targets. I keep my cats inside to protect wildlife, though for many years I did not.
It is the time of the year in Va to look out your window and spot new fledglings. They may be hopping about in your yard waiting for a parent to bring food. If you can, do as I do, and keep your cats inside to give wildlife a break.
