As you can all see LOKI is covered in ice crystals. It is bitterly cold again today, no relief in the extreme cold snap ahead. How he manages is beyond me. How any little or big ones out there manage is beyond me.
Just the few moments I had my right glove off taking these pictures and a very short video, I froze my hand.
We did have a very short playtime, I took the video of him with his blue stuffed whale and then reluctantly had to head home. I could not stand the pain in my hand any longer.
He did have a big warm brunch before playtime so that should tide him over until I go out to him again later today.
He wanted to play more, because as I turned the corner driving back home, he had come out to meet me and stood there expectantly. Friday he had done the same thing, and of course I did turn around and head back to meet up with him for another round of ‘I’ll run with the toy and you follow’! He is quite the boy.
He and his BFF ‘Sarg’ (pictured behind Loki) camped out on my deck later Friday evening which was a joy to behold. Out I went again, in jacket and fleecy pj’s. LOKI got another warm meal and ‘Sarg’ got plenty of hugs, treats and belly rubs.
Later another one of his friends ‘Fiddle’ showed up, came inside to warm up and got her tummy rubs and some cookies. Meanwhile my two boys welcomed her, even letting her leave with one of their treats.
Life is GRAND when you have so many wonderful furballs in your life.
Why can’t you take Loki inside and look after him?
LOKI is feral, has been all of his life. He won’t let anyone touch him, but I do hand feed him and we often lay beside each other. He will follow you when you are walking your own dogs, and we often go for walks alone together. We play together and he will nudge and touch me. He has lived his life in the free open spaces and while he will poke his nose into my garage he won’t go in. Remember that he spent the first year of his life in a cage until he was seized in the property raid in 2010. He had never known his freedom to run and play. He escaped the shelter twice after being rescued with the other 22 puppies, and his escape was what saved his life as the others were all secretly destroyed.
Loki has never known the gentle touch or hugs of a human. I would love for him to adopt my family and come to live inside with mom and I and my other pets, but he has chosen to remain free. As long as I have breath, I will ensure he is well fed, received his deworming and will spend as much time with him as God allows me.

There’s that grin & smile again. LOL Sarge looks like my Moka.
Big thanks for what you are doing with LOKI
No thanks needed. Loki is a survivor and I will never give up on him.
