Oh, yes, the animals keep me hopping! Just last night I noticed that the baby pigs are starting to root a trench along the bottom of their fence. It's just deep enough and they're just small enough they

I follow Liotes, but haven't been reading your posts. I'm going to start participating more. That's really awesome that you are guided by the majority opinion within the community.

Haha. I certainly didn't ask for a dog bite!

Thanks for the heads up on the witnesses. I vote for the highest HBD APR I can find ... if you would consider going to 15 percent I'd absolutely vote for Liotes.

Oh, yes, I have plenty of stories about the animals here. And I look forward to sharing more pics in the future. The treat thing is a good idea. I'm sure I could make friends with those little ones. Thanks

I gave it a nudge with my boot. It followed me for a quarter mile, and I wanted to keep it off my leg. But my concern was that being aggressive would make it more aggressive. Thankfully those dogs are

Yes, I agree, if we love what we're doing, why would we take a day off? It's a habit of mind that comes from having miserable jobs that I hated. And it is fairly entrenched in my thinking; I find myself

I'd be curious to see what you think of the story as a whole, of course, but I'm glad the recap worked for you to just jump in and enjoy the chapter. Sometimes it takes a bit of work coming up with the

Hi. Thank you for spending time reading some of my 'older' work (outside the 7-day voting window). It's great that they had a bit of life beyond the first week. For "The Silent Grass," the final

Thanks for checking this out and for the good comment. I hope you were able to enjoy this chapter, even though you may not have read up until this point.

I'm gonna remember this next time I want to mainline heroin. (JK, I probably won't remember it.) :)
