This summer while my coonie visitors were up on my deck goes out over my walk out basement, the coyoties were right down in my woods next to my deck. Too close for comfort. A few years ago, I was out walking my eskie dog JoGI in my woods in the snow. We got to the back next to the creek & he got his gur caught on the barbed wire. I thought he caught hisvskin with the yelping he made. Just at sunset, his yelping brought out the coyotes right across the creek. I managed to get his fur uncaught & we made a run throuhj thebwoods & up the hill to the house. I had no idea if they were chasing us or not. I was yelling at them. That is one time I wished I had my gun. Not to shoot them but just to discharge it into the ground so the noise would scare them off. My farm is a safe haven for all animals & reptiles including my treefrogs that have blessed me with hundreds of tadpoles to care for. Most bugs as long as they stay outside except ticks (kill on sight) & mosquitos is I can swat them. Even my misquito plant doesnt keep them away. I sit ut by my front door. |
I've been a "Simon's" fan for years. I always love the episodes with the gnome.
Spiders... I have several that sleep with me every night. I would feel upset about it if they were biting me, but they just don't. They get cold, I suppose, and come to me for warmth. I can turn on my phone screen or a flashlight and see the little buggers running away. These are jumpers too. I tried to catch the initial one, the first one, and she was about 1.75 inches across, easily. Big ol girl. The ones now I suppose to be her children. There's at least 5 of them I counted last night. I checked with my flashlight and its red filter. They can't see that color and it makes it harder for them to know what to run from. They nestle into the areas behind my knees and at least one of them really likes to tickle my feet. This has either a laugh response or an "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! what the f was that response" in the middle of the night. At least someone wants to lay down with me on this cold floor.
