    I once rescued a deer from being stuck in my front gate's copper rungs. I named her Princess and she lived in my back yard until I moved away. :skull3: And she could have easily left, too. But she liked me!

    My dad insists he used to have a pet bumble bee who would play with him in the garden. He's freaking weird.

    I like animals. All of 'em. I don't usually name the wild ones though.

    My Doggy lives across the road from me. There were others, but I moved away, or they moved away, and so on.

    The Tiny Tiny Tiny Pony, and The Horse, and Silly Sheep all live on the way to the train station.

    Everytime I go to feed the geese, I befriend a goose and call it Cookie Guy. Cookie Guy has yet to follow me all around the edge of the lake ;_;.

    There are shiny ducks, and little hoppy birds, and all sorts of endearing creatures wherever I might go.

    [Sadly, I fear arachnids and other such atrocities]

    Yes indeedy~

    There was a fmaily of kittens/cats yaffa yaffa xD living in my garden a few weeks back. They were so adorable!!!! I fell in love with the little black kit' especially, and I named it Mr. Brightside, because that was the song I'd been listening to when we met.

    But...it's been missing for a few weeks now, too. I wonder if he'll ever come back to us...

    ;____________; I don't where he and his brother have gone, leaving behind their sister like that. It's so evil of them; and I miss them. All the cat food I bought for them is rotting away.

    They're stray kits, btw. ^_^ <333333333333
    This subliminal message could be meant for YOU. But it's probably not. Move along ;D

    I'm very much attached to this beautiful big oak tree in the gardens on the way to university.

    You think I'm kidding, don't you?

    I'm not. I pass that tree every day. I watch as it loses its leaves for winter, then becomes vibrant and green in the spring and sheds a barrel-load of acorns. I can see the twists and bends in its roots, trunk and branches; they tell the story of how it grew up and came to be as it is today. It has a wonderful broad, low canopy of branches, creating a huge shaded circle even though some are nearly low enough to touch.
    This is a tree with character, history and life, and I'll genuinely miss it when I graduate from uni and leave the city.

    It's so easy to take trees for granted or just dismiss them as 'just another tree', simply because trees look so different from us, making it harder to relate to them as living beings. But with time and patience, you can begin to feel a bond as strong as that for any animal.

    Yeah, I get emotionally attached to some I see outside. When I see dogs chained outside when they're waiting for their owner to finish in the shop I always go up to them & stroke them, no matter how big the dog is or what breed.. regardless I'll stroke it 'cause I'm not scared of dogs at all. (Mainly 'cause I love dogs, doggehs are my fave animal )

    Awww, haha, that's so sweet! Haha, I don't think I could do that... Hmm big spiders are scareh.

    Yes, most certainly. No matter what it is I'll help it.

    I once saw a dog that'd been run over & the driver hadn't even stopped, he just drove straight away. But I rang a Vet nearby on someones phone & I was with the dog until it got to the Vets. & it made a great recovery. The owner was very nice to me for what I'd done. I felt all warm inside when se thanked me.

    People who run over animals & have no intention of turning back to see what has happened really annoy me. Cowards, they are.

    Well, it took a long enough time! You hated him at first. ;_______; xD

    True Story:
    The one time my grandparents bought a calf and my grandma named it Jeff, then she fed it and raised it for months. She was an emotional wreck when she asked where it went and found out it had been dinner.

    I get really attched to other peoples pets, especially ferrets. I named a hedgehog and fed it once, it didn't like me.

    Leave some shards under the belly
    Lay some grease inside my hand
    It's a sentimental jury
    And the makings of a good plan

    Throughout the whoe 5 years of high school, on the way there and back again i walk past a field with a horse in it. At first i thought nothing of it, but every time i walk past the fied, the horse would walk with me along the foot path. (btw, the horse was surrounded by barbed wire)
    anywhos, after coupe of weeks, i grew attatched t this horse and i just started feeding it carrots nd stuuf on the way to school. sometimes i see her hair stuck on the wire
    i've seen this horse go through everything, she had a male horse in at one point and they were at it like anything, then after a month some poepl came and took the male horse away and left the horse pregnant. Then she gave birth, the lil horse was soo cute!!! and after 2 months, they took the baby horse away, and so the horse stays in the field alone again. I don't walk there anymore cause i finished high school.
