Hopalong:
Fair enough. You're right.
I'm sorry I slipped sideways into the political stuff, Mouse.
My bad.
hugs,

Not sure where your Birthday petting zoo extravaganza farm trip post went but I'm so excited about it for you, ((Hops.))
You go get'cha lots of joyful hugs, rubs, holds and muffed up fur! Our pug is an emotional support pug, very used to being flopped over, squished and rolled about with her chubs manipulated (at the top of her tail, back, neck and arms particularly)and ears pulled back (baby seal pug) or forehead furrows petted over her eyes or pulled back in mock surprise.
You'll learn which animal likes back, ear or neck scratches and choose your favorites, what fun!!!!
I'm so happy to read your travel plan!!! You have a big cuddly heart and that's so you!!

Thanks, Lighter.
I'll totally love it and have invited quite a few people to save the weekend.
I'll be happy if it's two people or 10, don't care! And Poet's coming from Michigan.
In my past I've spent quite a lot of time around animals, on farms, in the Appalachian area where I worked, and used to ride (don't sit on horses any more). I've milked goats and cows, played with baby goats, helped shear a sheep, etc.
I always miss that pure happiness I'd feel around them, so the animal-sanctuary bday idea just popped into my head. It's about an hour from here, lovely drive.
Asked any friends who come to just give them a donation, since although they're not normally open to the public the owner was very pleased at the idea of a group coming. It's 400 acres of gorgeous mountains, woods and pastures and they have all sorts of rescued animals, for their lifetimes.
I will have happy moments thinking about it during the winter, since my bday comes just as spring gets serious. Can't wait. (One of my ways to care for myself minus family is to every so many years, plan a really fun time for my own bday.) I love seeing my friends meet those they don't know and just have a good time themselves.

I'm grinning ear to ear.....there's so much joy in that post, Hops. Will pooch go along, or just your human friends?
Hopalong:
Thanks, Lighter.
I think since I've never been with Pooch around farm animals, I'll leave her home.
She's getting on and though she'd love being around the people, I don't know how she'd respond to the critters, so I'd be watching her like a hawk instead of indulging myself in animal-snuggling bliss. I'd take her if I were going on my own or with just one friend, but with a group, I think it's best to let her do her old-lady snoozing at home and just come back wearing VIS.
Very Interesting Smells.
She'll forgive me, I hope.
hugs
Hops
