Dear Diary, been laying around outside watching BC's kits play in the yard. She's been secretive about this batch of offspring. Must be feeling secure now that the war is really over. The manchild had to take out another coon to stop the killing. Farm took quite a beating in the war: lost 3 roosters, 27 hens, 10 ring-neck doves, 5 kittens. Coons lost: 2. Been peaceful now for several days. Humans beefed up fences / cages around doves and chickens; managed to catch most chickens & get them back into the coop. And BC, magic mama that she is, managed to keep her 4 babes alive through it all.
