Preparing for Lilly

Bird crate with purpose-built Mustang carrying car in background

It's a real blessing to be transitioning from a period of bereavement over Abbey's loss to anticipation over Tiger Lilly's arrival. This morning's blog photos of pups prompted me to scrounge around the garage for materials to build a bird crate. Two hours later and the pigeon/quail crate was completed from the flotsam of past building projects. A bit over-built with 2x4s and 0.5" plywood lid, but not too heavy to lug from the truck to the midst of a training field (tested by completing one lap around the house). I will add a quail entrance from Lion Country Supply (20 min away) to make it a come-back cage, increasing the material cost from $0 to $16. Happy to build another for others with pups on the way...
