The day after I had my adventure with Gemma and Lemuel, I came home and did my usual tail count. Guess whose tail was missing. Lemuel.
I had the presence of mind to throw a big pet taxi in the back of the Ranger before I took off for the Back Forty to find him. When I got back up to the house, I just pulled into the garage and left him there until I prepared a new horn apparatus.
Um, it might have been his dad, Tiger, who lost my last one.
Once I got it on him, I had the thought that he’d probably injure his maa, Onyx, trying to nurse if I let him back out with her.
So I weaned him.
He’s up north with the other bucks and Perdita.
That’s where he’s going to stay for now.
