Cats or dogs?! Rabbits or squirrels?!
Many people consider themselves "cat people" or "dog people." I remember one women saying that, when they got their first cat, her husband commented that their apartment now "felt like home"...
Two of our children live with cats...
Terry and I have both lived with cats and dogs as pets - in our younger years - but we now enjoy animals that fend for themselves... outdoors - like squirrels and rabbits... (as long as they don't damage anything)!
The other evening, as we drove onto the driveway in the dark, Terry pointed out a rabbit... then slowed down so as not to hit it. He often comments about seeing rabbits in the yard.
I don't share his enthusiasm for rabbits. I don't mind them. I mostly don't notice them. They're fine - a little boring, perhaps. But that's the way they like it. They don't want to be noticed.
I get excited when I see squirrels - fast moving dare-devils - walking on wires, hanging on branches... They often make me laugh.
I wonder what that says about each of us: A "rabbit person" married to a "squirrel person"! (We're both definitely different!)
(Did I mention that I also like skunks?!)
