I think they have more predators to fear out in your woods than here in the city. It was a squirrel that bit my hawk's toe in half and cost me 2500 in vet bills with more surgery forthcoming.

I hope you get to keep your rugs. I'll likely end up losing the house anyways and I would have been better off just keeping everything instead of liquidating it all and giving the money to the bank, I really hated to part with my 1951 Rolls Royce Silver Dawn I'd owned for more than 22 years and sold it for 1/3 what it should have been worth....

You should have gifted it to me.

That and the other 12 or so antique rugs(some back to 1890's) and all my antiques and furniture and antique car all went last Feb during my estate sale auction to raise money to pay off a balloon payment so I wouldn't loose the house because the bank wouldn't refinance because of me going on disability/ I now have no furniture or antiques at all and sleep on a mattress on the floor. I should have just let the damn bank take the house and kept my stuff...

Yeah, but then you wouldn't have had any place to put your stuff. It's only stuff. The nice thing about stuff is you can always get more of it. Congrats on saving the house!
