Most All of Them

Daily writing prompt
What are your favorite animals?

I’ve been around animals most of my life, so I tend to like, or at least respect, all of them.

I can’t recall a time when my family didn’t have animals of some type around.

Big dogs, small dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, a lizard. We’ve run a pretty good gamut, I must admit.

Sometimes they make you want to tear your hair out, but luckily, their cuteness and friendship far offsets all the shenanigans they pull. And they can pull A LOT. 😄

Oh, and I would be remiss if I did not mention another pal of mine…

Why, Mr. Moonweasel, of course.

Can’t forget him now, can we? 😄

Have a good one, folks!

    Great post and pictures. I also grew up with animals all around, everything from big dogs and small dogs to rabbits, chickens, and roosters. Happy Thanksgiving, Brother.

  4. I met a man once who spent his life as a hunter in the Alaskan wilderness. His respect for animals was immense ~ to even up the odds he sanded the barbs off of his fishing hooks, and cast at a bend in the river which made it easier for them to get away.

    “Animals know when you respect them, and they respect you in return,” he told me. “Not like humans.”

    1. A lot of wisdom in that last statement. We could learn a lot from our animal brethren.

    1. Thanks, AM! Glad you enjoyed it! Funnily enough, my mom had a Dane that looked almost identical to that one!

  7. Me too, Kevin. Except for raccoons. They terrified me one night.

    1. Raccoons can be nasty sons of guns. And they have no fear at all!

  8. There are times when I feel like most animals are more humane than certain humans and vice-versa.

    If I have to pick a favourite, I will go with dogs. My only regret is that their lifetimes are far too short.
