🐱➡️🦅 From Cat Lady to Bird Sanctuary? My Sister’s Surprising Visitor Problem!

Well, I’m super passionate about sharing this story with you, because it shows how life can swoop in with the most unexpected surprises!

Looking at this from a bird’s-eye view, I’ve realized that some problems really are easier to fence out than others. And actually… I have this amazing story about my sister that I just have to share.

The Neighborhood Cat Whisperer

She’s got this incredible heart for animals—especially cats. Over the last couple of years, she started feeding the sweet strays that would show up at her back door. And you’re not going to believe this, but I started counting, and she’s up to 17 cats now. Yes, really!

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. While she’s absolutely loving her role as the neighborhood cat whisperer, she’s suddenly dealing with some… well, unexpected guests. I’m talking about vultures. Big ones. These massive black-winged birds have just decided to make themselves at home in her beautiful 125-year-old oak trees. And let me tell you, she’s super freaked out about it!

Fencing: The Solution to Unexpected Guests

So I started thinking about solutions, because that’s what I’m passionate about—helping people solve problems. Maybe a fence could help! I mean, sure, cats can climb (they’re super talented that way), but the right enclosure could definitely discourage more strays from joining the party. Plus, it could give her current cat family (which we’re hoping might get a bit smaller) a safe space to call their own.

Now, I can’t promise the vultures will take the hint, but it’s amazing how many other issues a good fence can solve.

❄️ A Snow Fence Built for Ponies—and Big Plans Ahead!

Yesterday, when I arrived to take my granddaughter to her swimming lesson, she greeted me with such excitement that I knew something special was in store. She grabbed my hand and led me outside to reveal her latest masterpiece—a snow fence!

“This is for my ponies,” she explained proudly, showing off the neat little structure she had built entirely out of snow. It wasn’t very tall—certainly not high enough to keep in much more than a small dog—but what it lacked in height, it made up for in charm and creativity.

What truly made me laugh was when she pointed out a "bench" she had carved right into the fence. “This is for my ponies to rest,” she declared, beaming with pride at her ingenuity.

As I admired her work, she excitedly announced her next big project: making the fence taller—because, of course, it needed to be high enough to keep her unicorn in!

Fences: More Than Just Barriers

Moments like these remind me of how fences, no matter how small or whimsical, are more than just barriers. They’re creations filled with purpose, whether it’s to keep real animals safe or to protect the dreams of a child.

🌲 [Hidden Hero] What Most People Overlook But Can’t Afford To

The Christmas tree is up, its lights are glowing, and I’m gearing up for one of my favorite traditions! This Friday night, my grandchildren are coming over to spend the evening with me, and we’re planning a picnic dinner right under the tree. There’s something magical about the twinkle of lights and the sound of little giggles filling the house.

The Unsung Hero: Fence Posts

As I was decorating the tree, carefully balancing ornaments on its branches, I couldn’t help but think about how the tree’s trunk is the real unsung hero. Without it, there’d be no tree to decorate—no structure to hold up the magic.

It’s the same with fences: the posts are the backbone of the whole system, quietly doing their job to keep everything secure and in place. At Louis E. Page, we know how important those fence posts are. Whether it’s holding up livestock fencing, garden enclosures, or decorative panels, the post is what keeps it all together. Without it, the wire mesh you’ve carefully chosen wouldn’t stand tall and do its job.

The Foundation Matters Most

So while I’m holding a picnic under the lights of my Christmas tree this weekend, I’ll be thinking about the posts that keep everything steady—both in the tree and in the fences we create for our customers. Because, at the end of the day, it’s the foundation that matters most.

Happy Thursday, and I hope you’re getting into the festive spirit too!

Got questions about posts, wire mesh, or your next project? Call Terry, our fence expert, at 978-486-3116 (Tap to Call). She’s always happy to help!

May your day be a blessed one, Debbie Page

P.S. A strong fence starts with a strong post—let’s make sure yours is up to the task!

🐭 When the Mouse Gets a Hearing Aid... Protect Your Boundaries!

I just had to share this story—it’s too good to keep to myself! I just got off the phone with a friend, and I’m still laughing.

A friend of mine dropped her hearing aid on the floor one evening and, feeling a bit too lazy to pick it up, decided to leave it until morning. When she went to retrieve it the next day, all that was left was the battery. Her only conclusion? A mouse had made off with the hearing aid! 🐁

Now, while a mouse stealing a hearing aid is hilarious (and oddly impressive), it got me thinking—how many times do we leave things "just for tomorrow," only to find that life, or a curious critter, has other plans?

Don’t Wait—Protect Your Property Today!

When it comes to your property, waiting isn’t always an option. Whether it’s safeguarding a solar farm, keeping wildlife out of your garden, or protecting a space from unwelcome visitors (rodents included!), having the right fencing in place can save you a lot of trouble.

At Louis E. Page, we specialize in wire mesh fencing that’s durable, reliable, and perfect for keeping boundaries intact—whether it’s a determined mouse, a wandering deer, or just the peace of mind that comes from knowing you’ve got it covered.

Let’s Keep the Small Stuff Where It Belongs

So don’t let the “mice” in your life take what’s yours. Call Terry, our fence expert, at 978-486-3116 (Tap to Call), and let’s make sure your property is protected—no hearing aids required!

Here’s to keeping the small stuff where it belongs!

Kind Regards,

Debbie Page

P.S. Don’t wait until tomorrow—secure your property today!

🦩 How White Flamingos Changed How I Think About Fencing and Environments Forever!

When I visited a zoo in Florida, I was totally amazed to see that the young flamingos were white! I had always assumed flamingos were naturally pink. It was there that I learned their vibrant color comes from their diet of algae, shrimp, and other brine organisms rich in carotenoids. It struck me how much their environment and what they consume shapes their appearance.

It’s a reminder that “we are what we eat”—in so many ways!

The Power of Environment

This lesson also made me think about the importance of environments, not just for animals like flamingos but for all of us. At Louis E. Page, we’ve had the privilege of helping zoos and wildlife parks create safe, supportive enclosures for animals. Fencing doesn’t just provide security; it shapes habitats, allowing animals to thrive.

Fencing That Enhances Life

Whether it’s a zoo enclosure for exotic animals or practical solutions for farms, gardens, or other projects, we’re passionate about crafting fencing that enhances and protects environments.

So, whether you’re creating a habitat for animals or a safe, functional space for your property, we’d love to help you build something that lets life thrive.

Let’s Create the Right Environment Together

Let’s work together to create the right environment—flamingo-friendly or otherwise!
