The big 5 0 seems to be a source of depression when most people reach it, but it is a time of joy in the Curtis household when Willie reaches it ! He celebrated his 50th day with us by coming to the feeder for his check-in drink at 6:39 a.m. while it was still pitch dark except in the light provided by the heat lamp. If he keeps his routine, he will soon settle down and sit on the feeder and enjoy the warmth of the lamp on this cooler morning. We will be away Saturday afternoon for a funeral service but will be home this morning and Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon if anyone wants to come and see him. Just let us know so as we run errands we can be sure one of us is here.
