Today I'm going to talk animals. We don't just have the normal, boring deer. We have armadillos, raccoons, possums, skunks,bobcats and the occassional woodchuck. I know, I know. How much wood could a woodchuck chuck? Well, I haven't been able to ask him yet but I sure have a lot of wood for him to practice on.
My favorite though is the coyote. I find them so mysterious and beautiful. I love listening to them and I always wonder that their calls mean. We have a lot of them out here and sometimes when they start howling it sounds like they are all around from every direction. I've seen quite a few of them and I just want to pet them.
Of course we have domestic animals. We have 2 dogs named Chisum and Katie. Chisum is a labrador and Katie is a puggle (pug/beagle mix.) Chisum is a great dog besides the occassional nap on the couch. Katie thinks she rules the house. I have never seen so much personality in a dog. We did have some cats but they can't seem to last out here.
We also have barn owls along with several other types of birds. I love the look of the barn owl but it did take some time to realize what kind they were. They would sit outside our bedroom window at night and "screech." It's an eerie screech that makes you not want to go outside. But it's annoying enough at night when you're trying to sleep that you want to throw something at them. By the way, it's illegal to shoot an owl.
If I happen to see any other animals like an el chupacabra or a wild dingo I'll be sure to let you know!
