1. My last of three kids left for college this year, so now I sew clothes for my dog and make her wear them for photo sessions.(she likes it)
2. I owned a skunk named Chanel when I was in middle school.
3. I lived in a tepee for a year and a half in Lake City Colorado when I was 18.
4.I play yahtzee with a 96 year old woman for 12 hours every week.
5. My father in law was sucked up into a tornado and killed a few years ago in Phil Campbell Alabama.
I had a pet Racoon named Gunner when I was a boy (on my Grandparents farm). When Gunner got knocked up and had kits, her named changed to Guntete. She was raised and socialized by my Grandpa's Wirehair Pointers, so she thought she was a Wirehair Pointer. Even would go hunting with us and point when a bird was in the bush ready to flush. Seeing a Raccoon do that was inspiring.
I also had a pig named Pete (Peter P. Pig). He bit my Grandma and then got turned into hams and bacon. You learn life's hard lessons early on a farm.
