Thanks everyone:) I have always loved skunks - they are cute and very curious. I've been fortunate to work with one and it was so sweet - very soft pads on the bottoms of their feet. And, thanks for the comments on my haircut -- I cut it myself! Super short is so much easier when you work with animals. As always: thanks for promoting Sydney's Legacy, Inger! The animals & I really appreciate it:)Rachael K.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-2744620101382845492012-08-01T12:33:20.162-07:002012-08-01T12:33:20.162-07:00What a lovely story and a lovely friend.What a lovely story and a lovely friend.Anne Macklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635857544175826537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-28207892211837641542012-07-31T14:40:51.158-07:002012-07-31T14:40:51.158-07:00Oh yes I agree animals know.

Rachael is someone I'd like to meet. What a wonderful work she does; no greater calling than teaching IMO. I love that photograph of her with the great horned owl. One day when my daughter Jen and I were living in St. George, an owl perched in a tree by our condo. Only time I've ever seen such a creature up close. I felt sad the next day when he was gone.<br /><br />Your header photo is awesome, Inger!<br /><br />And thanks for your comment on my post where I just reviewed a crime thriller. You said you might help me in ways I don't know yet if I write a memoir about my daughter Jen. (I knew that we're the same age!) I just told her that I may also weave my brother into the story. For a while I was a kind of (reluctant) caretaker of my brother, and have already written material about him that's novella length. My title was Loving My Brother Again. Since Jen was with me during the process, I think I can dovetail the two characters and end up with a full length memoir.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-63606699480568408242012-07-30T14:41:13.247-07:002012-07-30T14:41:13.247-07:00Rachael seems like such a neat person.

I've read that Great Horned Owls have no sense of smell, and they are the major predator of skunks. One took an opossum in our back garden (the woodland area) a few years ago, hulled it out from the soft underside and left a stinky pelt scattered about for me to deal with come spring and thaw.Barbee'https://www.blogger.com/profile/11316077390373348067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-56752815144724763302012-07-30T10:37:08.811-07:002012-07-30T10:37:08.811-07:00I knew a girl in high school who got sprayed.
