Then this morning they slept in late after I got up to feed the cattle.
Much of Daisy's afternoon was spent outside. She made it inside the barn again as the cattle were slow to get to the feeder. This time Daisy found a route to the top of the hay bales and explored all around. She would look and reach down between the bales. I wondered if she would slip down and get stuck but she didn't. I must have the bales stacked tight.
When it came to go Daisy wanted to stay. I didn't feel like climbing up on the bales to get her so I left the door open a little bit but still fastened with a strap so the cattle couldn't get into the barn. She had lots of time to investigate and look for mice. She spent some time sniffing a few areas. So far this year I have not had any bale twine gnawed through by mice, nor found any expired mice.
Daisy spent most of the afternoon in the barn traveling back and forth to the house (with muddy paws) when the cattle weren't by the feeder. For a while she kept me company as I cut branches down to size but after a while slipped off to the barn again until it was time to come in the house for the night.
Once she came in the house Daisy was a little wound up for a while, pacing around and meowing and occasionally playing with her toys. Tammy played with her a little bit and we both tried petting her but Daisy was in a biting/scratching mood and wanted to play rough and not be petted so we quit after getting scratched.
Hopefully Daisy sleeps through the night again like last night. Is this what having a kid is like?
