ADDED UPDATE ON EAGLE AT WCV WITH LEAD POISONING :X:

1:00 p.m. update: Dr. Miranda reports that there are no lead pellets visualized in the Bald Eagle’s radiographs. The twice-a-day chelation therapy will continue over the next five days. In the meantime, the eagle is being housed in the Center’s oxygen chamber.

LATEST UPDATE ON NX

December 30 update
Dr. Miranda reports that the wounds on NX’s right carpus are healing well; all but one wound has scabbed and healed. The veterinary team continues to check the protective bumpers on NX’s wings each day to ensure that they are intact — this prevents NX from aggravating any carpal injuries. NX is still quite feisty and is a challenge to catch-up, but Dr. Miranda is still comfortable with keeping her inside until the next set of radiographson January 3. If radiographs look good, the plan will be to move NX to a small outdoor enclosure.

NX will also receive an ophthalmic examination to check on her right eye injury on January 3.

trying to work on the paperwork for the eagle ceremony on 1/8 - Nick isn't cooperating too well - he's too busy partying --- grrrrr

have some errands to run - trying to work my way thru the forums to get myself caught up

had a long talk with my niece last night and DB - the divorce has gone from bad to worse - my SIL went out to UT to spend a couple of weeks with her DD's family which apparently seemed to go OK

my DB decided to be up front (that's how he is) and he went out at the end of her visit - at Christmas - and told my SIL that he had quit his job, has a new job out there and is moving to UT - the entire family had a nice, peaceful Christmas and of course all was too good to be true :(

the next day SIL started in - searching his clothing and papers (all he has cause he gave her everything - house and all) - she got his phone and was doing call backs to find out who he had been calling and then harrassing those poor folks - then the night before she was to fly back home, she physically attacked him - it was awful and a neighbor who is a deputy sherriff came over to help out - they opted not to have her arrested so they got her to a hotel and she flew home next day

it's not been good ..... it's so sad that she's doing this and all for no reason - they've all tried to get her help to work thru this but she refuses at every turn and just becomes more agitated, etc. I'm so thankful that he decided to finally move west - far away from her so hopefully now the distance will give her time to work thru this and realize her actions are over the top and could harm her family and certainly herself ........ my thoughts and prayers to all of them thru these difficult times........ divorce is never an easy thing :(

OK so need to get up and move on to the next task at hand while I wait on Nick to get me the info I need ....

Deb - What a terrible way for your DB to start the New Year. :( It sounds like your SIL needs lots of psychological help, her behaviour sounds paranoid. Your DB's decision to move to Utah is a good one, close to his DD and away from your SIL. Divorces are never easy but should be worked through with as little as possible confrontation so as not to upset the children and grandchildren. When it gets drawn out the only ones who benefit are the attorneys ($$$). Will keep :X: that all eventually gets settled.

Posted Image Hi everybody.

Wishing you all the best as we say good-bye to 2011. It was a good year for us, personally, as we celebrated a couple of milestones and welcomed two puppies into our family. No news yet from Ian and Allison about an engagement .... maybe that's in store for 2012. :X:

I am grateful for all of my eagle friends. You are a blessing in my life. Maybe 2012 will be a nesting year for our Cruz, who started it all.
:Hugs:  :<<o>>:

Deb, I was thinking the same as Carole while I was reading your post. Your SIL sounds like she has gone far beyond acceptable behaviour. I think she needs some counselling or intervention before she harms someone else or herself. Major upset for the family, how sad. As Carole said, calmness and courtesy would eliminate a lot of the hurt to the rest of the family.

Good luck with getting party boy Nick to do the paperwork. Boys just want to have f-u-un. :<::

Ian and Allison are going out with friends to a fancy nightclub tonight. I think it's called the "Flying Dog" or some such weird name. I've never been out for New Year's or even to a fancy nightclub any time. :88:

Your New Year's graphic is super, Carole. Thanks for all the eagle updates and pictures, too.

You did have a very special 2011 and I wish you another one for 2012. :Hugs:

I too am grateful for all my eagle friends and will keep :X: that Princess Cruz meets her Prince Charming and raises a family. :wub:

yes Carole - maybe this is the year for our girl Cruz
and Cheryl's Ian <3

AND we got to share your special events too Cheryl, thru your wonderful slideshows....

we are seriously about confirmed on our choice LOL - I believe we're going to fly to Salt Lake City and visit niece and family (reecy and whitley etc) and my DB who is going to settle there now - and my nephew and his family AND see the sights - places we've never been - for our 20th anniversary coming up next year!

we have tons of maps and books and will rely on family as we hope to at least visit UT, ID, CO and WY (and maybe a bit more) we'll see

yes our family has been trying to persuade SIL to get help to work thru her anger but her family (4 sisters) are doing just the opposite and fueling her fire - I thought it was moving forward and my DB had hoped maybe so too but I thought from the beginning that his going there at Christmas was a good idea - it's too soon for her and it indeed appeared to be the straw :o

she's so not ready to move on or to let go - she's all consumed with getting even and doing hurt .... I'm a little surprised at her and I'm truly glad now that so many miles will be between them .... maybe this will be the starting point for her

when I speak with her, she says all is fine, visit was great etc but then the family tells me what really happened and I am greatly saddened - I've known my SIL nearly my whole life :( I'll continue to pray for her and hope peace comes to her and she can move on ....

ok off we go for a bit - BBL :}^
