One has to wonder hat happens when some have a cold.

I had caught only a glimpse before last February at Ingwelala, where, thanks to Stan's eagle-eye spotting and fancy driving, we got to see and chase a pack. They decided to stop and lounge about on the road and pose for some lovely pictures.Annamaria Alfierihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12311596277267789834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-22002282154832986932017-10-05T08:05:34.168-04:002017-10-05T08:05:34.168-04:00Respect!

We dress them up as Mickey Mouse, clip them into ridiculous shapes and breed them with a skeletal type incompatible with life, then wonder why they have the odd go at us!

Thank you for giving me more to think about. Jeffrey Sigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718317707555064653noreply@blogger.com
