I like animals.\u00a0 That\u2019s no secret here.\u00a0 All walks, and all sorts.\u00a0 From Aardvarks to Zebras.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And\u2026in fact, when I go to fairs, I spend a good part of my leisure time there, walking through the animal barns and visiting with all the little creatures.\u00a0 Well\u2026 some aren\u2019t so little.\u00a0 But I think they are cool.\u00a0 All of them\u2026 pretty much.\u00a0 Horses, cows, pigs, rabbits, you name it.\u00a0 My favorites, I think.. are goats, sheep, and chickens.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know why.\u00a0 I just like them the most.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t raise any farm animals.\u00a0 I think I would like it\u2026 and not like it.\u00a0 They are a ton of work.\u00a0 And\u2026 any animal that lives here would have to be my pet.\u00a0 The latter could be especially problematic.<\/p>\n

But animals… have personalities all their own.<\/p>\n

Chickens have moxie.\u00a0 Just they way they walk around and bob their little heads.\u00a0 Plus\u2026\u00a0 it takes a mighty brave beast to lay an egg.<\/p>\n

But sheep and goats seem really sweet to me.\u00a0 They are so expressive.\u00a0 I\u2019ve heard some people say they aren\u2019t so bright.\u00a0\u00a0 I wouldn\u2019t know by what standards one would use.\u00a0 Just because we humans don’t understand them.\u00a0 So\u2026 I am going with the notion that there are brilliant goats and sheep\u2026 within their own ranks.\u00a0 Just like we have smart humans\u2026 and those who aren\u2019t so bright.<\/p>\n

Anyway\u2026 I often wonder what and how they think.\u00a0\u00a0 Like take these two here.\u00a0 They seemed to be communicating back and forth, and almost commiserating with one another.\u00a0 I hung out with them for a long time.<\/p>\n

I learned a lot about sheep that day.<\/p>\n

Both of these were scratching from time to time.\u00a0 I think they had fleece.<\/p>\n

They aren\u2019t camera shy either.\u00a0 In fact\u2026 a LOT of sheep post their videos on Ewe Tube.<\/p>\n

And the reason sheep are so healthy is because they drink well water.<\/p>\n

Well water.<\/p>\n

Alright\u2026 this is getting Baaaaaaaaaaaaad.\u00a0 I better quit.\u00a0 When this is no longer causing sheer delight\u2026 I should cut it short.<\/p>\n

So I end on redemption.\u00a0 Here are some good quotes.<\/p>\n

It is never too late to be what you might have been.\u2028– George Eliot\u2028<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Remember that everyone you meet is afraid of something, loves something, and has lost something.\u2028– H. Jackson Brown Jr.\u2028<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

What may be done at any time will be done at no time.\u2028\u2013 Scottish Proverb
\n<\/strong><\/em>
\nThe only people with whom you should try to get even are those who have helped you.\u2028– John E. Southard<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
