What is the matter with me?

Let me share with you:
For 30 years we had Siamese Cats I absolutely adore them, they are so affectionate and not at all aloof, but there comes a time when you have to say good by and this got harder and harder each time so about three years ago when our last one was laid in the earth I made the decision that I did not want to go through this again plus my time is also getting nearer and I would hate to leave a Cat to fight its own battles so the die was cast.
Ha Ha Ha A scungy old mongrel tom with one ear torn down to his head (fighting) adopted us, we give it food and water and provide a dry warm place to sleep he is too old to have fixed so he wanders. In the winter he takes residence in the Greenhouse but he is not allowed in the house and I avoid stroking him, I just don’t trust my self.
Six weeks ago a young Goat decided to settle down in our garden, he was either an escaped pet or a wandering feral from across the river he is happy so that is all that counts eh
Two weeks ago I was looking through the window and saw a wee baby pig walking across the lawn I went out side to shoo it away but now it had been joined by its bro or sister so I marched over shouting and clapping my hands then out of the corner of my eye I saw movement and there was the biggest mother you ever saw at least 3 foot tall and giving me a stare that put shivers down my spine, I don’t do running any more, I can’t so a hasty retreat was in order. They eventually disappeared but I do wonder what is next. This is a true story.

These animals obviously know that you are big softy. Maybe your time for having a pet is not over.

If my hubby throws me out I know where to come then.

Marg you would be made very welcome, there is a lovely little dry area just next to the clay slinger, quite sheltered with a great view there is a good supply of sweet clover and grass and you could share the water trough with the chickens. this is where the goat first settled down then it got picky, it has now left me and headed off on another adventure after having a good feed from the citrus trees

Oy Colin, gerroff, I saw her first, and I'm much closer, and I've actually got a 3 bedroom detached house to offer, not a bluddy field, plenty of roses in the garden and round the door.

Margaret, don't listen to his blandishments my dear; I serve real traditional English grub, not clover and grass, and have drinks other than water! I'll even come and get you, just say the word.

Must be a Saint Francis influence in there somewhere..as they know where to go for help....Maybe an insite for you my friend. I do know the feelings you harber as I laid to rest my 20 yr. old and 17 yr.old dogs this past few months..but still have one 8 and another adotped one 5 left..plus fish in the pond and a few wild on occasions. I always think that if we help care of others(people and animals) the good Lord will take care of us too. Take care...

Your shooter should have been loaded with buck shot not pixels if you feel that strongly.

(Pssssssst, wanna buy a lawn mower, or are you making hay?)
