Meanwhile
back at the feed store to get new garden gloves,
and seeds that were calling,
“buy meeeee!
This time I PROMISE to grow so
big and covered with vegetables!”
Yes,
there were bunnies this time. So soft,
so fuzzy, so cute.
So
needy, so high maintenance. After
raising five kids I think I’ve learned my lesson
about bringing home things
that poop, pee and need to be fed.
Yes,
I love my family, and that includes Thomas The Cat.
Diapers and pet doo doo—not
so much.
Other
things at the store that were endearing and charming:
Tiny
tractors from John Deere to Ford.
Cows,
bulls, calves---
Ponies—
Pigs—
Lambs
and llamas.
These
critters don’t leave excrement, don’t even stink
and never need to go to the
vet or be fed anything but imagination.
Except for the need to herd them back to the shelves after kid visits
so they
don’t attack my bare feet, they are very well house broken.

Five kids----that, I did not know about you.
As for rabbits and other critters, I've put the kibosh on getting more "pocket pets" for my kids. Jenna wants another rat in a big way, but she leaves for college in a year and a half. Nope, not doing any more critter clean up duty! :)
i love TSC. always have to peruse those shelves of 'stuff' and the bird feeders, too. :)
Garden gloves...that's what I should have been getting (and wearing) today. My hands are so dry from the dirt it's painful...but boy did it feel good! Maybe we should've had 5 kids so they could have helped me today! :) My hat's off to you (Mom's of big families!)
Did they have alpacas? I wasn't sure if that was an alpaca or a llama in your picture ...
I am like you and leave all the cute little critters to my daughter and her children!
Happy Easter
Linda
