The move to New Orleans was worse because we had even more pets than we did when we returned to Oklahoma. But NOLA was really interesting and I loved it, except everything was so expensive. I also learned much about the Native American influence there, especially in the French Quarter. I had no clue.

When I returned to OK, we had been told about an eagle rescue in the area. Well, they had planned to release them in Montana, I think, except 200 of them escaped and now live here in NE Oklahoma! I have to keep a close eye on the puppies when they are out. We also have bunnies in the backyard (wild, not pets).
