Last week I read in the blog of Lisa Brunetti, that there are often goats strolling around in her garden. She talked angrily about “number-one garden pest”. I replied: “imagine: better than strolling elephants or bears!” She answered: “I certainly wouldn’t dash outside and start chasing bears or elephants!” Anyhow, it seems animals like to stroll around if they only can. I was very surprised about a horse opening all doors of a stable, watch (if time) the following video: clever Houdini horse “…all it takes is a little perseverance and some big teeth!” (to start strolling around …)

die Geschichte mit der Katze und dem Türgriff ist rührend, auch traurig ihr Tod, gefährlich wie vor Troja bei euch! Die oben galoppierenden (English: galloping! da vertu ich mich immer mit umgekehrter verdoppelung von l und p) Katzen sind mal wieder bestes Sinnbild von Lebensgenuss. Ich galoppier nicht mehr viel: nächste Woche krieg ich ein 24 Stunden EKG. Dann kommt bestimmt raus, dass ich nachts arbeite! Es ist 4.00 a.m.

the vegetation is now growing so fast, the goats will probably not stray so far for another six months!

The horse didn’t open the first, maybe it didn’t like this horse… 😉

That’s a smart horse! Reminds me of a dog we used to have. She always found a way to get out of the dog run no matter how many kinds of latches we used. She never ran away, though. She was a good and loyal dog. When she got out, we would find her waiting for us by the back door when we came home from work.
Now, we have lots of animals, mostly deer, strolling around our yard.

I grew up on a farm, but now I live in the mountains surrounded by lots and lots of trees. Deer and other animals are part of nature here. We get deer strolling around our yard daily, raccoons (one broke into our house one night), porcupine (which was trying to get into our shed), occasionally wild turkeys (they are very noisy), etc. There are all the different birds that visit our feeders, squirrels that come begging for food, hawks that prey on the smaller birds. Then there are the neighbors cats that come to our yard every day, eyeing the birds. Right now, as I look out the window, there are at least 30 birds at and around our feeders, and more perched in the trees waiting for their turn.
