I Swear Every One Of God's Creatures............

CrazyKittyLvr2 — Fri, 17 Jul 2020 16:56:46 GMT

were on the road at 7:30 this morning. I am not usually out that early in the am. I had to go to the store and at least 10 small bunnies were tempting fate in and around the dirt road I was on.

In front of the first house 2 teeny kittens were in the road. I stopped and waiting until they finally wobbled across.

A deer decided to see how fast I could stop by dashing in front of me. Luckily I don't drive like a maniac.

The finale, 2 large turkeys crossing the road, on a curve, followed by 10 or so babies.

Holy cow, I was glad to get home. I didn't pass one car just wildlife. I have never seen so many rabbits/bunnies as I did this morning.

@CrazyKittyLvr2

How awesome that must have been to see!

Kudos to you for being a good driver and making sure you didn't hit anyone!

Wow, what a menagerie. I've never seen a live wild turkey. I gues the animals are able to breed freely now without so many humans destroying their lives.

Little did you know you'd be going on safari today.

I'm glad you haven't lost your sense of humor, GF!

In the early morning and twilight hours we get around a dozen wild turkeys in our backwoods. It is majestic when a tom fully fans its tail feathers. And so cute to see the poults trailing behind mama in single file.

@Mindy D These were big turkeys. You haven't lived until one flys over your car. I had one go over my hood years ago. Not a lot of lift when it took off.

Even though I was in my car I ducked. lol

@Laura14 No kidding. I know where the term "dumb bunny" comes from. On the road then off the road. I'm going right, no wait, I'm turning around, I'll hop along side, nope, back in the road.

I would just stop until they went in the high grass aong the road. Couldn't make their minds where they were going. Goofy little furballs.

@KingstonsMom It would have been great if they stayed out of the road. I did not want to hit any of them. I swear they thought it was a game.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 I have been known to yell out the window to squirrels who have lost their minds like that. I tell them they have three safe chances and then the medical bills are on them. I don't have all day and last I checked they weren't chipping in taxes for the road construction and repair. My road. My rules. 🤣😎

I can relate to dodge em & where I live...does, fawns & red fox are on the move, rabbits, sand hill cranes, raccoon, skunks & possums all with babies are everywhere, turtles large & small are always crossing headed to another pond, ducks that for some strange reason have to walk across the road instead of flying, oodles of turkeys...I had to stop yesterday for 3 huge toms they took their sweet time crossing & then there's the escaped farm animals that enjoy standing in the middle of the road & they don't want to move until they're ready.

@kitcat51 Yep. Living in the country I can't tell you how many times I've come across cows in the road. Whether it's one escapee or the whole blessed herd they are very stupid animals. They just stand there and in unison turn their heads to stare at you. And they won't move.

My cat has turned into a rabbit killer. Oh he's killed a few here and there but far and few inbetween. Since I've been living where I am though he's gotten bad. Even gets the bigger ones. I shouldn't mind because we are overrun with rabbits and they eat all my bulbs when they start to come up in the spring. But of course he has to bring them to the back door and I cannot stand it. So he's benched. No more outsid for him. As it is I would only let him out after 9am and would get him in by 3 or 4. He's having a hard time and seems depressed. Oh dear!
