All of my friends have already expressed at how they feel about me leaving again so soon after returning, as tomorrow I will be headed out again, not to return until the end of July….but my non-human friends usually find a way to show that they care without words. Here are a few of my “non-human” friends that I had to say good-bye to before I head out on my Western Loop tomorrow.
The toad above took up residence in my shoe, my Siberian husky, Shaqua, decided to look cute, and the tree frogs serenaded me with their nightly song…
My beautiful dog, Shaqua. She turns 8 years old on June 14th!!!This year we had a LOT of snow in Missouri...Shaqua, my siberian husky, thoroughly enjoyed it! March 2011The tree frogs are some of my buddies....they hang out at the lamp every night just to say good night. If my tree frog buddies aren't on the lamp, they'll hang out on one of my various tropical plants in the summer. The toad came to visit me this week...and tried to steal my friend's money while we were watching a movie. Bad toad...I'm telling the toad that stealing money isn't the way to make new friends...One of my numerous tropicals, my Plumeria....incredibly fragrant. I winterize all my tropicals to survive the MO winters indoors....eventually I will be posting blogs and tips about that here on geojeep.One of my several tropical hibiscus plantsA couple of my orchid plants, left in the care of my sister. An orchid that was given to me by a very good friend. It's probably one of my favorites. 🙂 "Dragon orchid"My sister's cat....My sister's cat, Callie, will have to make friends with my parent's dog, Sasha, while I'm gone.Sasha, all curled up and tired...One of my best friends' dog, Bruce. He's my buddy. These cattle have followed me when I go on my long walks on gravel roads...
Animals tend to like me, and I like them. I will miss them all, but I have many things to see and missions to accomplish. There is one animal I won’t miss too much: This deer that I hit back in November…..yeah, the deer can beg all they want, but I wouldn’t stay for them. Animals like me so much they even come after my car (See also my New Mexican Cattle experience!)
The buck I got before deer season started. I bagged it with my Jeep, "29" in November 2010what "29", my Jeep, looked like post-deer and pre-shop in Nov 2010
