Woo! Found a local who has the contract for all city roadkill pickups ...

and he is now my squirrel/bunny/beaver/etc supplier!

Told him no skunks/raccoons... but the rest I want as long as they are fresh hits, and no signs of illness. He says they will collect and freeze immediately any they find and give me a call when it's "worth while" for me to drive to Strathroy.

Timothea? You in? I'll probably get more than I know what to do with!

Strathroy is about two hours away from me, and I can only hold so much on my Vespa, so may not be doable. (two hours with roadkill in a cooler behind you on a hot engine? I dunno...)
But I would love to have you bring any extra if you do come for a visit! I plan on getting my place fenced this spring, so Charlotte and Betty could romp in the yard, and we could have coffee or something. I'd fix you lunch, but not from the roadkill. I can go to the field trials, get lots of birds, and we can trade, roadkill for redneck kill. Or, if I get the info on the field trial early enough, you can come to it with me!!

Kelly, you are the queen of resourcefulness.

Thanks to you, Heather!

I also got in contact with a rabbit breeder who will give me any deaths of elderly rabbits and nest deaths for free! Woo!

Timothea, I am more than happy to make trips to see you and swap meat/visit.. tea! sounds wonderful, and yes, please.. no roadkill. We could make a day of chopping up stuff together! oOOooOooo.. how girly.

(As an aside, Betty is scared of big dogs, so mayhaps Charlotte will fix this problem! LOL)
