Our Personal Zoo

Z’ is this week’s letter for ABC Wednesday! So I will take you all on a little tour of our personal Zoo. All sorts of wildlife keep us company around our house.

This is a photo taken of our lawn mower at winter’s end. Apparently the squirrels decided it was an excellent place to store acorns while the mower was stowed away in our shed.

The squirrels around our house are Zany. Here is one peeking in the deck door over a greyhound’s behind. The hound never even knew because he was fast asleep…ZZZZZ…..

Also part of our personal Zoo are Turkeys, baby turkeys,

  2. The great thing about your zoo is that you have no legal responsibility for ANY of the animals.

  5. A personal zoo - you are indeed lucky. We might scare up the neighbour's cat and the odd gull.

  6. You never need to visit a real zoo. Unless you want to see a zebra though, in that case you might want to...

  7. Oh, look at that daft squirrel tempting fate in the shape of a greyhound backside! ROFL!! Good thing he wasn't spotted! Love the nuts in the lawnmower too, that's definitely zany!

    You have quite a good amount of wildlife, don't you? But you know I love the greyhounds best. ;)

  15. I love where you live - it is just the kind of property that I want. Unfortunately, I would need quite a few million to get that kind of property anywhere around here! Nice cardinal, by the way.
