You mess with any of my animals , especially my adopted Springer " Ernie " you will leave my premises in a " Body Bag " ! Like has been said they mean more to us than more people ! I lost 2 Ducks the other night , I slept in a tent near their pen 2 nights , No luck !
I will have my revenge ! Also I am the " Black Sheep " I got away from that " Yuppy " world if that's still a term & moved to the woods on my farm over 20 years ago . Living on a Lake , you have a lot of friends in the Summer .
So I ditched that & moved here . Do I have a lot of visitors .. Nope , Did it save me $ .. nope ! Animals to care of what it would cost me to feed my " Summer Time Family " .
But my wife & I are happy ! Just make the move , if that's what's needed . Stay Healthy & Safe ! 73 & God Bless ! Leo PS 66 years old , been there , done that !
