Now the lake has been invaded by thousands of ducks and geese , far more than the usual dozen or so birds.

This happened to a lot of people at the time; in fact, by the point when my zombie story ended up between pages, the species had exceeded the carrying capacity of its habitat, resulting in a population crash and near-extinction. As a result my story was seen by few eyes. Until now.

Training. One of the best ways to pet proof your home is by training your pet to be his own enforcer. You may want to consider closing the door to pet-free rooms that store, say, your fine antiques, and, if you have a doggy or cat door, you can also train your pets to head out for potty breaks on their own. Hey, animals are animals , and trying to train every instinct out of them is a futile endeavor, if not cruel.

How are her bones going to grow without cow's milk? You mean she's never eaten bacon? Are you a communist? At Baby Sky's 15 month checkup she landed at about the 75th percentile for height and weight. She comes from small stock, so I do see that decreasing a bit.
