Score!!!

Nope, just a widdle kiss from the man who bought me the big rock...:8:

I have been bitten by plenty of farm animals. Cows have tried but missed. Now horses...grrrr. Them things are sneeky. Just ask a certain paint colt...cute but evil....

Ow! It happens to the best of us; consider it a kind of initiation!

I've hardly ever been bit by anything. Mike, my hubby, however seems to put off some sort of scent that is delicious to all critters LOL. He's been bit by a variety of snakes, dogs, cats, goats and a huge pet turkey his mother had years ago (yes I said a pet turkey...geesh...she even paid big bucks to get it surgery on it's feet at one point LOL). I like to let Mike handle unknown animals first, they get their biting over with then before I deal with them. :)

Haha, Jo, I remember talking to you about this before. Jeff is the same way, he gets bitten by every animal he contacts, it seems like.

The absolute worst animals on my grandparents farm were, by far, the banty roosters. For those not familiar with chickens, banties are a very small breed of them, so a banty rooster is really tiny. They can hide just about anywhere, and they wait until a person is at the nesting box and then run up behind and start pecking and scratching at anything they can reach. Then they give chase all around the chicken yard. I learned how to be a ninja egg collector, after many bloodied legs! :ninja:

When I was a teenager friends of mine had a rooster like that....rotten thing he was! They kept a small bucket full of water just inside the hen house and when he came at them they soaked him but good. Seemed to take a bit of the fire out of him at least temporarily (also he looked funny as heck LOL).

LOL
That actually reminded me that sometimes my grandmother would stand at the fence and squirt the roosters with the waterhose. You are right, that's some funny stuff!
Wow, that's a memory I had totally forgotten until just now.

My we had enriched childhoods didn't we Sarah LOL (okay but seriously what is funnier than a really ticked off, soaking wet rooster I ask you!)

That's easy! A 5 week old kitten in full-arch hiss! I defy anyone to find anything cuter in the entire world! lol

You know, on a more serious note...although there's nothing in the entire world that could entice me back to country life, I do so very much appreciate my background in it. I definitely consider myself lucky to have the perspective I have on life, and my early years only enrich that. Even if I didn't appreciate the lessons I was learning by milking at 5 am before school, and pitching hay after homework every evening. That's probably why fall is my favorite season even now, and only those who have been through harvest will understand that!

And after reading my previous post, I want to make sure no one thinks my grandmother just sprayed farm animals with water for a good laugh, lol. She only sprayed the roosters to cover my a** when I was very young. By 9, I was able to fend for myself with most of the animals.

How did she bite through your leather glove??? :confused:
