Death Valley Life #20: Animals, Mannequins and Goddess Gowns

*CAUTION: footage of a trapped frog in this video -- may not be suitable for all viewers!*
Bunker submarine update, cow skull update, Starlink has arrived...and we bid farewell to my little cat Nüni, who never really seemed happy here in Death Valley...so when an opportunity arose for her to live at a winery up in Napa run by cat lovers, it seemed like a better life for her. Now I have no pets...only mannequins. And how's a mannequin supposed to change your diaper when you're old?! Then again -- how's a pet??

When I lived in the Florida Keys I had a ton of scorpions in my house - one night I woke up from a dead sleep to feel something on my face. I could tell it was a scorpion; I tried to swat it off me, but it stung me in the lower part of my right eyebrow near my eyelid. I killed the scorpion, and went back to bed. I woke up vomiting around 2 hours later, and my face was drooping like the Elephant Man! My eyebrow hung down to my cheek, completely covering my eye! I also had a brutal migraine, and my joints hurt so badly it was like someone was hitting all of them at the same time with a sledgehammer. OMG I was so sick! I ran over to my neighbor's house, and he took me to the hospital. I was freaking out about my face, and the doctor was like, "um, yeah, we're gonna give you a shot and you'll be better in an hour or so". I was all excited, saying, "but my face!" - the doctor was like, "yeah, we're gonna give you a shot and you'll be just fine". "BUT MY FACE!" and the doctor was moving toward the door, like, "okay, I'm gonna have the nurse give you that shot now". The nurse came in and I told her my concerns and she said, "we treat scorpion stings all the time; constantly; this shot and you'll be like new in an hour". I got home and laid down for a nap, and when I got up my symptoms were gone, and my face was normal again! But that sting made me respect scorpions, that's for sure.

Omg that sounds like something right out of a nightmare! Glad that you got better. I didn’t know scorpions could be so nasty!
You saved that poor frog from even more agony that he would have had to go through before death would come. You did good Sarah.

Dude have you seen how many guys veiw her just for a look at the pit kitty s it's odd I agree but I'm sure it actually helps her gain veiws and followers I couldn't believe it when I read the comments soooooo many guys into her hairy pits it was crazy
Moving Noonie some where for a better life is the least selfish thing you could do W.H. and you waving goodbye to her was very touching.
You did right by Nuni, WH! Don’t worry over your decision… she will love chasing the mice 🐁 . Sounds like cat heaven to me. I liked your mannequin-friends! No drama! 😅❤️💜🦋
It is as if The Big Bad Blues was just up the street with Rollin' and Tumblin'. Spectacular!
Good call on the Bilstein shocks and struts. You will be happy with those.
Those rails flex more than you think.
Yes Wonder Hussy she is great Mick Australia.
Thanks for the update. You did the right thing for Nuni. The train track could have had a larger gap until a train came along and the frog made a fateful leap at the wrong time.
Wonderhussy "These pliers are great for pinching scorpions." PETA enters the chat
Oh my God!! What was that noise. 2 animals fighting? Deer run over by a car. Wonderhussy bill for the shocks.
I am so glad you've acknowledged that you shouldn't have pets. May Nuni and Fred have a good life!
I bought Starlink for my Rural House north west of Tucson and we love it! We look for scorpions at night as well. They show a bright green under a UV Flashlight. Their sting hurts like the devil! Frog trapped on the rail - 😳 Shocks repaired = 👍 Bilsteens = 👍 Nuni = ❤️
I think this is a pretty nice episode with wide artistic latitude and a flare; everything you can imagine including a dead scorpion in a pail;)
Enjoy your Death Valley Life info because my wife and I have recently built a place in Stewart Valley and can really identify. Your other videos display your many gifts and talents. Thank you. :)
I can’t stop watching these videos and I don’t know why
Lovely home, Lovely ladies living in the desert, thank you so much for sharing!

Ahh, farewell Nuni. Maybe Death Valley is not such a great place for life. Thanks for a wonderful update.
I like the car talk the most! LoL!
So sad about the poor frog 😞 but I am glad about Napa Nuni 👍
"The heat is on" Ok miss Glenn Frey
Glad your submarine bunker is clean. I would suggest painting the floor using an epoxy paint before putting down the oriental rug. Always enjoy hearing about your Death Valley life, and its dryness, as I live in the subtropical Tampa Bay Area, and all its heat & humidity for much of the year.
I know the WH submarine will be fabulous!
Brave of you to send Nuni to a better home. Cats don't like change and they don't like people coming and going. She will have a great time with all the other wine cats.
My life goes to hell when you come on. I drop everything and I hang on to every word you say.. I'm laughing because it's funny and you make me laugh.😂
thanks for the adventure as always love your channel stay safe
I like those silver mannequins. They remind me of the Silver Surfer (one artist did him exceptionally well, I don't remember his name though). Always a very cool superhero.

I know a guy who lives in Las Vegas. He puts sand bags against his walls and waters them 2 days later he turns the bags over and there's hundred of scorpions. Then he let's his chickens eat them. Get some chickens. A good hen lays 1 egg per day. Better for you than store bought eggs.

That frog story was so funny. I can't stop laughing, I showed my friends the video and they ate it up. Ty
I think Nuni will have a good life in Napa Valley - there will be plenty for her to hunt and the coyotes in DV are probably really hungry and she was right to be scared out there.
I picked the wrong Wonderhussy video to watch while having my midnight snack of a ham and cheese sandwich! Quite a shame about the frog, but she did the right thing, she's not a frog surgeon.
I’m with you on the pet thing! After our dog passed away at 15 1/2 years, we decided that we should not have another pet. Our lives were devoted to our sweet girl for all those years. Now, our lives are our own and we can come and go as we please.

Get a new poodle
"Ahh, good ol' Fred, good ol' Nuni, now they're out in the middle of somewhere!"
Omg. The frog was trespassing on railroad property. Lol
I found a cows skull, here in Australia, had it for over 25yrs, but I finally parted with it for $100, it’s up in Queensland someplace probably hanging over a bar! 😊
I think cats are highly sensitive to any environment around them. And their sense of smell is incredible. I believe Nuni could sense the predators that dwell outside and she didn't feel comfortable adventuring too far. In the 21 years I had my cat,we moved alot. We lived remotely on different ranches and my cat didn't always like everywhere we were. I miss her,but won't get anymore pets. She is irreplaceable anyway.

Oh my heart, I'm tearing up a little. You did a good thing for the poor little frog, and how sweet to give him such a respectful burial. Bless the Beasts ... ♥️
Manakins are perfect. From a distance, makes it look like a lot of people live there.
Beilstein's are absolutely great!!! Love the mannequins,,chrome is the shi ! Love the wild videos as well.
you may not have the cat or dog anymore but you still have us!
so great you gave kitty a wonderful retirement home ❤
My nephew is a professor of something at a university in Florida. He does research on scorpions all over the world wherever scorpions may be found One night I went with him hunting scorpions in the Spring Mountains (Kyle Canyon) at 1am! Fascinating!
I left Vegas 22 years ago and I don’t miss it one bit. But I do miss the desert. My cat hates the wind also but I will never part with him because he is my best friend. You made a good choice though since you are gone so much. Nuni will feel a lot better by not being in the hot desert. And the chrome mannequins are really cool. Happy Trials 👍😎🐈
Bilstein Shocks are the perfect choice. I would have gotten a quote first then declined the rebuild of the ICONs.. That's way to much to rebuild 2 Two shocks.. Ridiculous,, then wait 3 days ? Lord that's a rip.. Anyway ,,,, Looking HOT in your white gown ! No pun intended. Smile 😘😘😘👌👍
Looking gorgeous! Thank you 😊

I Live in Las Vegas. When we moved here in 1999 we thought we found paradise. Now, it's outrageously expensive and the crime is getting bad.
I'm glad you sent Noonie to that place in Napa. She was definitely not happy in DV. One of me cats is a former abandoned house cat, Mr Big. He's REALLY happy here. He's #10...yep I've got more than 10 cats. He is an old man and he is right here next to me thanking me (he thanks me all the time) for taking him in. One of the ferals, Mr Tabby has decided that he wants to sleep with me on the bed...every night. I'm telling you...he's absolutely TERRIFIED of any people who come to visit, but, he sleeps with me at night. I did a lot of work with him to get hiss trust like that.

I installed my Starlink dish one week ago. Works great. I have 30 times more speed that before for the same price.
Thanks for sharing on Nuni. Win win.
Hi Sarah! From a desert dweller here, you will be amazed at just how many scorpions 🦂 you will see at night using the UV flashlight . Don't wear flip flops lol
Love, love your Goddess look for the desert life! You are rocking that $16 purchase 😁 That was your only option for that frog...showing that big ol' heart for critters...and keeping your sister's conscience clean. Lol The reflection from your patio umbrella is really cool on the silver mannequins. Looking forward to seeing the Steam Punk Submarine come to life, and the painting on the skull. Your creativity is so fun!
Sarah I love your goddess look! I always love your Death Valley compound videos!
You are a gifted story teller! The sad story about the poor unfortunate frog was told with deference for the life of the frog yet contained some humor and delight to make the listener (me) smile.
So glad Nuni is in the right steup. Your decision was the right one.

Odd she didn't show the so called pictures she says she has of the "happy Noonie* in her new home. Hopefully it is true and Noonie finally has someone that loves her. 🐱💕😭
About the frog.... when it's cold, the rails contract and leave gaps and the frog crawled into one when it was cold.... when it heats up (which it REALLY REALLY DOES in the Southwest) the rails expand..... in fact, if there is NOT a gap in the rails, the rails will expand and move from where they are supposed to be spiked down..... I worked on two different railroads in my neighborhood and have watched this happen....
When frogs lay eggs, some of the small tadpoles try to go places. When they crawl in cracks and they don't get out soon enough, they grow up and get stuck. Now you know.
Glad you re-homed your cat as she will be more comfortable I hope. It is better this way and for the record I am not the best dog mom. Dogs are demanding like a child while cats are like teenagers. You could always try a fish if your sister will feed it when you are gone.
Never mind flies, scorpions or snakes, watch out that manikin may come out of its dimension and bite you ;p
Jeez wonderhussy, this episode is like an animal snuff movie.
I've been building 4x4s all my life and I would recommend getting skyjacker coilover shocks, they're made for off-road use and will last much longer. So it's good to see a video from you, I love your enthusiasm 👍☮️

The rails do expand and contract due to temperature. As for biting flies, we are getting into blackfly season here in Ontario. They are the worst biting flies because there are so many of them.

Bilstein shocks also come with dust covers to keep from having dirt & dust causing them to leak.
I think you strayed into NPR “car talk”😎
Poor Nuni, I hope she's happier now.
Great choice for nuni she will be very happy
As I’ve said before, love how authentic you are! You say what others only think. I envy that freedom to just be yourself without being overly crude or dramatic for shock value. I’m striving for that, maybe I’ll get a little closer with your example. Thx Sarah, Andrew
You are such a great story teller. Love your channel, you, wandering jeepsy & adrenalin Jackie are the best
You did the right thing with Nuni. Know it and accept it.
Hey Wonderhussy! Love these updates from the DV compound. This was especially wide ranging in topics and emotions. The goddess look suits you. Maintain your SPF coverage. The sun will age the mannequins so shade is their friend too. You made a generous choice about Nuni. Not a desert cat. Good progress on submarine project. Stay well Sarah.
From babushka to bedouin ultimate transition. And..... the TERMINATOR family" dropped",in for some arabic tea!
Dead frog hopping.. or not. You definitely did the humane thing. I think you'll get a gold star in the book of life for that.
