Did a bit of low calorie snacking, and am passing the half way mark of this bowl of KBV Verge Engine Santa Drive 2021 in a 1978 Peterson Deluxe 20S medium bend smooth dark brown billiard with a silver cap military mount black vulcanite saddle p-lip stem. Running low on this blend. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

All the ferals wanted inside due to the cold rain, and I have managed to keep the peace between them this afternoon. It's still cold and raining, and for the second time this evening, Harry the Hairy came around food and attention. He got both. In fact, each time he was so hungry that I doubled what I would normally feed him, and Harry ate every single morsel. I wish I could let him inside, but we’ve enough trouble with too many ferals indoors as you will see.
None of the ferals (except for Tomato the Brave) got along with each other nor did Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger get along with them this evening. Daisy always waits and watches for a chance to go after Sam the Scamp, who growls at everybody mostly out of fear. She does that much less to Abner the Eager, who is a mellow fellow. Lately, she’s gone after the high strung Molly who is less than half her size. She tried that again, and out she went. Daisy knows she’s going out when she misbehaves because she runs straight to the back door when chastised. I let her back in when Molly went to the bedroom to sleep, and so far, Daisy has behaved. She knows she’s not allowed the bedroom, and doesn’t go there.
Since Daisy and occasionally Tomato the Brave are the only ferals who get wet food, it becomes a problem if other ferals are inside at their feeding time. I spent a lot of time keeping them separate for that, and in general. After Harry the Hairy returned to eat, Daisy snuck out the door as I was going in. There was a fight in the yard, and instead running away from Daisy as Harry usually does, he went after her when she started the trouble. Daisy ran up on the deck to escape.

Tomato heard it all, and wanted out to see what was happening. Abner took the opportunity to go out, too, and Sam was right behind him. I got tired of standing around in two different rooms at various times while trying to watch a movie with m’lady. It took over two and a half hours to watch an hour and twenty minute movie because of this. Except for Daisy and maybe Tomato, they are staying outside for the night. Why none of them stay in the heated outdoor houses we had made for them is a mystery, but the constant indoor drama is something we’ll have address to lessen the overall stress on all of us. It even wore out Tomato the Brave.
