TvegNot sure this will be approved, but I have to say it as nicely as I can. Is anyone else feeling as though we are a country full of gullible, foolish idiots?
MilwaukeeProfYes,most definitely.
"You can fool all of the people some of the time,some of the people all of the time,but you cannot fool all the people all the time"-Abraham Lincoln, 9-2-1858
MilwaukeeProfOh to be a chipmunk. They go about their business of stashing safflower seeds and other goodies for the winter,all the while knowing nothing of fascism or governments at all.They just go about their lives.
I want to be more like them.
MilwaukeeProfOh,wonderful analogy!
Do yiu know of a place where I could obtain tiny trumpets for them? It would give them something to do through the winter when they're all sealed up with their stashes of treasures provided by their favorite human servant. "Eat,sleep,play" are the three commandments for our wild friends.
atmaramaThere is an old saying - “cats and dogs do not require fancy accommodations”.
I just thought of this, but I am sure that someone said something like this at some time.
It is not unusual to see cats or dogs associating with a homeless person surrounded by junk and garbage.
Just another funny thing….
MilwaukeeProfI bet you're right about somebody saying that. I can see it with dogs.They appreciate every act of kindness. I'm not so sure about cats. They strike me as seeing themselves as superior and requiring that we serve them only the best.
atmaramaI think that cats tend to be proud of their hunting ability. And the cats may have more stealth than dogs.
Both cats and dogs are probably proud of their power and ability in their own way.
atmaramaThere were two stray dogs here a while back. They would sometimes fight. The pitbull was annoyed with the smaller dog for stealing her food. The pitbull would bite the smaller dog and the smaller dog would scream. But later they started to play together and even kiss. They eventually went away.
MilwaukeeProfYea, they will do things like that, some need to show the other who's boss. I don't know if chipmunks do that,but I have seen them act like they couldn't care less when one of their group is suffering and dying.
VegInNotOutReminds me [quite belatedly]: in WI, I had a lot of flying squirrels in my wildlife habitat, and they loved the squirrel-proof feeders because they were light enough not to invoke the weight-barring cage. I had my web cams trained on the feeders and could clearly see them at night. They were soooo polite, unlike their cousins. They would go one to a feeder and patiently wait their turn for a vacancy -- they never had a squabble. I don't how they would react to one of their kind in trouble, but if any wildlife might be so supportive (outside of parent/young), my money is on them.
