It’s been a day. And it started with going to get a hair cut.

As many of you know, each New Year my twin sister and I choose our ‘Song of the Year’. This was mine for 2026.

This was written after the June 12th, 2016 attack on the gay bar Pulse in Orlando, Fl. 49 people were killed and another 53 injured, all at the hands of one attacker. And some say we don’t need gun control.

It would later become an anthem during the hardest months of COVID.

I choose it late December 2025 knowing I was facing major foot surgery that would sideline me for some months.

Little did I know that it would be more applicable to my mental health and addiction.

The first time I self referred to the military for help with my drinking. An Army Colonel I’d worked with at my previous assignment contacted me and said, just deny it, they have nothing on you.

He, his partner, my then wife and I used to go out every now and then. We partied hard. Well three of us.

That Colonel would later beat his partner up so bad you could barely recognise her face in the hospital.

He had refused to admit he had PTSD, yet he’d told me many stories of soldiers dying in his arms or out of reach to save them. And he refused to admit he had an issue with alcohol trying to coup.

He spent a number of years in prison.

Whatever it is you need to rise up from today, you can. There is always someone in your corner cheering you on.

Meet Tiger and Roo, the newest additions to the farm.

A 16 year old girl came across them and their sibling, (who came here very frail and fought hard, but unfortunately didn’t make it), at a flea market. The ‘owner’ told the young lady that if no one took them, he was going to kill them. So, she took them, no idea what to do with them, except save their lives.

Another lady took them on. But she has kids, a job, a busy life and limited resources. So, she contacted us. No shelter she’d contacted had room.

We’d just a few days before, taken in the seven kittens found in a box under a bridge in Bangor. So, to be honest my initial thought was no. And we have said no more times than I’d like due to space or money.

And obviously you can’t see this, but I’m trying to type with Roo literally climbing along my arm and up my hand. Lol.

Then something, whether it was the effort a 16 year old and an overworked mother had already put in, or the hand of God (however you experience a higher power), made me say yes.

So here they are.

They are already huge snuggle bugs, so will make great pets.

As always, they will see our vet, Michigan Mixed Animal Vetinary. Get treated, vaccinated and spayed or neutered.

If you would like to adopt either or both, DM me.

If you can contribute to their vet bills you can either:

Now, I have to move all the cats out of the master bedroom for awhile as I promised the dogs we would watch some ‘Chicago TV’ tonight.

Today I got a hair cut. Breaking news right. But, it’s taken me three weeks to get it.

Why do you care? A lot of you won’t. But some of you will relate, and forget the rest. I want you to know I understand.

Three weeks ago I didn’t have the money. I was literally playing my ‘Free Play’ at the Hartford Casino hoping to win enough money for gas to work Instacart / Walmart / DoorDash’ and buy food for the animals. We made it through.

A week and a half ago, I get my retirement pay. Yay. Thank you all who pay taxes that pay for that, seriously.

But my PTSD was kicked into overdrive and leaving my my house, let alone the farm was too much.

Partly because the younge man who has lived with me on and off for the past three years.felt it was acceptable to leave my basement, where he and his girlfriend Erica had been living before they moved upstairs into on of the bedrooms, like this.

He hadn’t paid rent in…over a year. Was meant to work it off on the farm. Same with the phone bill.

So,
1. No we don’t have any rooms available.
2. If you’ve been wronged, report them. Nothing changes for you, or the next person if you don’t.
3. If you are struggling mental health wise, know you are not alone.
4. I will ‘embarrass’ my self every day to help prevent one of the ‘21’. And God knows I’m not anywhere near to getting it all together. I just know that I want to live.

2Chicks has been contacted by a number of folks that need Community Service Hours. I know you all want to cuddle kittens and play with the animals.

But what I really need right now is a few bad ass folks who can come help me clean up this mess. Do some drywall and baseboards. Repaint the floor with Kilze (or however you spell it).

Oh, and we really need a new Sump Pump. That got destroyed with all the crap that went down there. It was 2 years old. So, if there is company that could…it’s really hard for me to help for help…ask my family…but we need something.

I want to give a huge shout out to Tierra and James on the farm, who have not just picked up the slack, but literally picked up after Luke.

So the Bangor Police just showed up.

Lt Nielson (I really hope I got that right).

He handed me two envelopes and said thank you. And we talked about cats and roosters, he’s dropped off a few of them confiscated from town.

One envelope was a Thank You Card from the Bangor Police Department.

The other one contained $375.

That will go a long way to get the latest seven kittens vaccinated.

I’m literally sitting here speechless. Which is a rare thing. Probably should happen more often 🤪.

A HUGE thank you to all the Officers and staff that made that donation.

I’ll make sure to tell the kittens tonight that they have a whole team in their corner.

There is a reason the Air Force didn’t let me fly!

I can’t even get the camera on the correct plane!

Doc (the little guy that had his eye removed) is doing well. I don’t know who was happier yesterday when I put him back with his siblings.

All are available for adoption once they get vaccinated and spayed or neutered.

UPDATE 7th Oct: The little guy (Doc) made it through surgery and I’ll be picking him up in a couple of hours. I named them after the Seven Dwarfs.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who donated a total of $850. It means I can pick up Doc and pay the bill. I can schedule an appointment for all seven to get their first vaccines.

All will be up for adoption. And all are already loving and friendly. And a smorgasbord of colours.

All our adoptions are by donation. While I would love to recoup all the money invested in each. It is much more important that they find a loving forever home.

A few days ago we got a message and photos from a family who had adopted a ginger back in March. They are so thrilled with her. And she looks so happy.

Thank you is never enough. But it’s a start. Whether you have the means to donate. Or you share our post or like it. None of these babies would have a chance at life without you.

———//-/——-

Thank you to, Dr Hay and Michigan Mixed Animal Veterinary that saw them today.

The one with the bulging eye is getting surgery this afternoon.

The rest, flea and tick, worm, ear mite and eye meds. They are getting human love multiple times a day.

Seven of them. Just dropped off on a box.

This is going to be a huge vet bill, 2Chicks, don’t have the money to pay..

Everyone wants a cute, healthy kitten.

Well it takes anywhere between $150 - $350 to get you that kitten.

All seven of these kittens are hurting.

I was up after midnight last night (this morning), after regular chores. Washing their eyes and making sure they were pooping.

We need money. Thats as honest as I can put it.

Last night someone broke into our pole barn and our home.

And when I say ‘someone’ I’m 100% sure it was Gilbert who lives next door.

Unfortunately we’d let the batteries on the camera’s expire.

Gilbert has been tormenting us for three years now. He randomly all times of the day and night sets off a car alarm. Other times it will be a bull horn. Or the reeving of a motor bike. Then there is the yelling, about g**s and the dogs talking to him.

He has told the sheriff that we and another neighbour have bugged the house (he actually doesn’t own it, an older lady does), and that anytime he swears our dogs bark and talk to him. So he makes noise to drown them out.

Our livestock Guardian dogs don’t make noise unless he does.

I tried to get a restraining order after he kept driving onto the property and dumped metal pipes on the frontage. judge denied it.

He has multiple felonies yet shoots guns often. But unless he’s actually caught with a fi***rm the authorities won’t do anything.

Last night Luke and I verified the dog door and that door from the garage to what we call the big dog pen was closed.

At 4:52 am this morning Gilbert set off his car alarm.

All the dogs and the donkeys responded and didn’t settle.

Luke went downstairs to check on things and the door from the garage to pen was open as was the gate from that pen. Two of our dogs, London and Harley were loose.

‘Someone’ had also been in the pole barn. The goats had been let loose. One of the dogs and three of the goats were outside.

Black Jack (our male donkey) had been making unusual noise.

We’ve suffered the noise and the insults for over three years. Have had to apologise to campers as he’s yelled swear words while children are presen.

But putting the wellbeing of our animals has crossed a line I will not tolerate.

The Sheriff’s keep telling me they can’t do anything unless they catch him in the act. But they’re also told me I have the right to defend myself.

I’m not a violent person. When deployed in Iraq the joke from my Army buddies was, “Get behind me and give me your ammunition.”

Two of us on the farm tonight are prepared to defend it.

Gilbert. Who lives to the left of us facing from the road. I am done with you being a bully. I am done with you keeping me up at all times of the night.

Tomorrow I call a welfare check on the person that owns the house.

We met Rosalie a couple of years ago when she came one Sunday afternoon to hang out with the cats. Since then she’s donated often to the Community Food Pantry, and been a big supporter of 2Chicks in general.

Throughout all her health challenges her positivity has been inspirational.

Somewhere out there is a kidney she needs to keep this bright star shinning.

I’m going to make the call. Can you?

Popping in to give an update on Kfir (meaning Lion Cub). One of the guys that works for my pet care business in DE suggested that name.

He’s eating, drinking and going to the bathroom. No problem eating hard food. So thinking the wound he has is just that. Will likely need some antibiotics. Maybe draining. Going to put some antibiotic cream on it for now. Amazingly he doesn’t seem to be in pain, unless I try and touch it.

We have a vet appointment on Monday.

Every time we take in a kitten / cat, we are committing to either give it a forever home, or find it one. We are also committing to get it vaccinated, treated for any disease it has, flea, tick and worm treatment, and spayed / neutered. On average that’s $250-350 per kitten / cat.

There are a couple of other ‘2Chicks’ out there. So look for our logo.

And as always. Thank you.

A new fluffy rescue.

We could really use some help.

We have an outstanding bill already at Michigan Mixed Animal Veterinary.

This little one just filled its tummy. And now a going to get a bath (it has fleas), It has something wrong with its lower jaw / lip. Doesn’t want me to touch it.

Pa I’m calling it Emerson, is eating and drinking, so that’s a check in the win column.

Then we will introduce him or her to the other kittens. And the litter box
