    There’s an awful lot of fish and birds in that list. Do you handle worms a lot?

    I love the list.  I note that “rabbit” is at the end — did something happen recently?

    All those years, all those pets, and you’ve never ever been bitten by a flea?  (You’ve already included “punch and suck” in “bite”.)

    You have fingers left after all that? I think I would take to wearing gloves even in hot weather…

    I can believe everything, except the cow. How in heaven’s name did you get a cow to bite you?

    I echo Pica… A towhee???? What, were you hiding under the leaves?

    How ever did you THINK UP making this list!?

     

    Thanks for the laugh… I really needed it this week…
