TONIGHT Carlos and Donna bid us all adieu as they held back tears...keeping it short and sweet, they spoke a few words, turned off the OwlCam,
all the TWITTER PEOPLE humans cried and recalled their favorite memories and told one another how much they all meant to each other and
they got all human all over the place, and then mom actually turned off the computer and gave us carrot snacks! We finally have mom all to ourselves again!
Until Thursday, when that little gray "Fluffy," the stray rescue kitten, comes to live with us for two weeks while her family is on vacation! Well she better behave herself or I, YumYum will jump on her ---
EDITORIAL INTERRUPTION:
"AhEM! Yum-Yum, a word?"
(NOTE TO SELF: DO NOT BLOG WHILE MOM IS WATCHING!)
Dear Readers,
How lovely to be writing to you all this evening about our enthusiasm for Thursday!
We will have a new friend to play with. It will be fun.
And, about the title of tonight's post, WHAT PERFECT IS:
Last night, as Wesley, F I N A L L Y left the owlbox and flew off to become a bona fide "owl" (an owlet no longer) the most amazing thing HAPPENED!
As mentioned earlier, Molly and McGee returned! SURPRISE!
What mom later found out, however, was that they had a kissy-party and were quite amorous, so Molly could actually be "in the preggers way" which is good, although Carlos and Donna seem so exhausted
they SAID (holding back tears, mind you) that they would not turn the camera back on no matter what!
Well, the vacation will do them good, but we MODS will still be here upon their eventual return...
and maybe they will actually retire MOD CENTRAL COMMAND,
or maybe resurrect it...?
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
PERFECTION IN NATURE:
For everyone (except perhaps Tauntz, the bunny who played gleefully beneath their owl box for months then "mysteriously" disappeared after a wabbit delivery Saturday night and has not been seen since)...
the PERFECTION IS FOUR HEALTHY, FULLY FLEDGED BARN OWLS now happy in their palm trees with a super-surprise plot twist: Molly and McGee's completely unexpected romantic conjugal reunion
in the honeymoon suite they shared before her eggs hatched, and everyone living happily ever after in real life!
(NOTE TO BUNNY-MOMS: don't let your babies grow up to play under OCCUPIED Owl Boxes.)
Rare in Nature to experience PERFECTION. YET, WE WERE BLESSED BY A MIRACLE OF GRACE
WITH A REAL-LIFE HAPPY ENDING!
Love,
YumYum
P.S. This photo album has been added to since we last provided a link and the images are so tender and poignant they move mom to tears...
Please enjoy. And cry, if you want; that's all the MODS been doing all week anyway!
love,
Your very own gentle, kind, offering-warm-hospitality to all stray kittens,
YumYum, darling Prince of the guinea pig family

MY UNFAIR BREAKFAST CONFESSION!
Dear gentle readers,
mom said i have to confess...and this is so off-topic and unfair,
but during the Mahals' Breakfast Runabout, Taj escaped the pen and I
had escaped earlier so as mom embarked on her own FindThePigsSTAT!
Runabout she caught me attack Taj and try to eat him even though he
is twice my size. She scolded me, returned me to my cage, and asked
whether or not i wanted the nickname "Killer Pig" because I behave
like one. Mom: BIG WOO. ha, ha, ha, who let the pigs out,
OH?!
MEthinks it 'twas YOU!
P.S. Taj is fine, he was just startled, having never been attacked before,
and mom said having never been attacked AGAIN, EVER, i had to add.
It was a friendly, playful gesture, mom, gee, don't you understand met yet?

TWITTER ACRONYMS:
IN THE BEGINNING,
DOFO meant Dream Of Fledging Owls
After today DOFO=Dream of Flying Owls
To any and all MODS who visit us guinea pigs here,
we love you all and feel so humbled to have been
included in the most perfect love story: Molly and McGee and four beautiful owlets
and MODS from around the world, over 14 million viewers and nearly 6,ooo regulars,
once strangers who may have even passed one another at one point in our many lives,
yet never paused to even say hello -
we learned to love one another through Cyberspace and laugh together as One.
Being a MOD is not something one can explain, only give silent gratitude to God for such a privelege.
And if you are already a MOD no words will ever be necesssary.
To Carlos and Donna, who hosted the show for three months and to the owls and
our crazy-loved book authors, illustrators, cartoonists, even to MR. CARROT (you know who you are)
May you and we all fly in peace together as one family into the bright, blue skies accompanied wing-to-wing by our beloved barn owls.

Dear Friends,
One of our fellow MODS who sells candles learned what mom never could: how to take "screen shots" from inside the owl box and these are so beautiful that if you want to understand what made us all go MOD,
take a look...who wouldn't?
Again, for any latecomers: MOD = Molly Obsessive Disorder = 5,000 or more people tuning in to Molly's Owl Box every night for about 3 months to watch, live, the love story depicted in these stunning photographs.

FLUFFY, WHY DON'T YOU STAY HERE INSTEAD OF MY CAGE?

Carlos has put the Owl Box up for rent but we aren't entirely certain the current occupant(s) have moved out yet! Can a Palm Tree be the new California Owl Box? We think Fluffy should consider renting it.
But mom has other plans, like Fluffy sleeping with her in bed, purring mom to sleep...
Well, WE GOTS OTHER PLANS, MOM, TO KEEPS YOU LOVING US MORE!
WE GONNA "WWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEkkkkkkkkkk!!!!" you to sleep,
starting tonight, all night long! Just wait and see, you don't need a warm, fuzzy kitten in your bed
when you have US!
What do you mean we can all get along, there's enough love to grow around?
You and that phooey spiritual Sufi stuff again! Just for that, please leave for the Farmer's Market now and bring us double the lettuce, carrots, and other yummies you've been promising ever since you found out the
S.U.N would be out and vowed to WALK there in your walker! Off to the market now, mom, that't a good mommy!
Yum-Yum out A.Gain.

FLUFFY THINKS SHE IS A GUINEA PIG AND WANTS TO LIVE WITH ME IN MY CAGE. NOT! DOWN, FLUFFY, DOWN.
This Thursday, "Fluffy" the orphan-no-more's mom is taking her family to L.A. and Fluffy will be living here for two whole weeks! She seems to have bonded with us already, and thinks that she is also a guinea piglet who should be living in my cagewith me.
Fluffy, not a chance! You are not a guinea pig! You a KITTEN!
Yeah, like that's gonna work.
But mom will sure be happy, and that means lots more energy for her = we get more treats, petting, lap time, Mahal's get more "socialization training" and RUNABOUTS GALORE!
Question is, will mom give her back at the end of the two weeks? Or dress her
up like a guinea pig and disavow any knowledge of a kitten having ever lived here?
We shall wait and see...
DOWN, YOU SILLY KITTEN!
WELCOME TO THE 'HOOD, WES!

Dear Readers,
We are little guinea pigs, not avian zoologists, but it seems the name "barn owl" implies "owls who live in barns."
However, this is Southern California, after all, and Molly's brood has a preference for palm trees!
So be it.
Will Wes ever really move out of Molly's Owl Box?
Not yet, but at least she's found the rest of her brothers and they seem to be convincing her that
"life outside the box" can be pretty wild, once you've discovered the perfect palm tree.
Also, the Mahals now let mom pet them when she feeds them and they are beginning to like it!
So, here's to wildlife, in palm trees or on Runabout in our new apartment: may we embrace life
each in our own peculiar, wonderful ways!
Today, mom and I did our yoga, so
Namaste, peoples of the world,
YUM-YUM
