I cannot answer today's BCoF question because I don't know the answer.

I have 3 rescued dogs, 3 rescued cats, and a cockatoo, a rescued Senegal, and 3 rescued parakeets. I have always had pets and livestock. I don't keep livestock any more. Watched some of the Equestrian events, made me wish I had a horse again.

Once, years ago, I went to the woods and sat under a tree beside a little stream. Two chipmunks came and played on my outstretched legs and feet. A doe deer came and took a drink on the other side of the stream. She stood watching me then meandered into the trees. We always have deer eating under the apple trees in the front yard. Animals think. They think or have habits like whatever species they are.

I like all of them, We have wild rabbits living in the yard, and not unusual to see a woodchuck, or squirrels, or neighborhood cats. At night there are owls that fly in and sit in the trees. It's a farm so lots of wild life living in the nearby woods.

My parrots sing along when I am practicing my music. If we have a bad storm with thunder and lightning I play music to keep them all calm and peaceful.

We have a new game called Doggy Olympics. I throw toys for both younger dogs at the same time they bring them back. Christmas I bought this funny ball. It makes oinky noises when it rolls. Drifter and I play soccer with it in the living room.

I grew up with pets. I lived here as a child and here I still am. I was on Facebook yesterday and saw an elephant mimicking a man. . The man had a drum and would play it several strokes with drum sticks. Then the elephant would play the rhythm on the drum with its' trunk. Have you ever heard the song, "Bless the Beasts and the Children"?

Always an adventure.

I slowed down in July. Very hot weather Making some changes in the house and just keeping everything clean and cared for has been keeping busy. Plus I am reading a lot this summer.

God Bless you all for still being around when I am able to get online to visit.
