Big Miopic Goldfish !!!

We never had a dog growing up, or a cat... but among the pets i kept were:
lizards and pill bugs and spiders and toads and polliwogs and frogs and the occasional worm. First thing I thought of for Animals was doing an interview with the crazy Muppet, Animal--but he was unavailable...out partying too late i guess.

Here is something i transported from http://the-clever-pup.blogspot.com/because i am lazy this week...this lagging winter is bumming me out.

as proud as an ant, nearly squashed but showing great agility by dodging between the treads of the running shoe.

as wise as an overachieving orange orangutan, for remaining obscure and possibly mythical, thus staying safely off the endangered species list.

as blind as a squirrel running out into rush hour traffic.

as strong as the big smelly turd that my neighbor's dog left me. Thanks.

as quiet as the pretty red cardinals that croon outside my window....NOT.

as slippery as that big smelly turd when i fall flat while mowing the lawn.

as hairy as a spider that jumps out of a plant while I'm weeding. Yikes!

as stubborn as my garden hose that kinks up and gets stuck around every corner.

as sly as a chipmunk slinking around until he can mooch all the sunflower seeds.

as weak as my back after working in the yard... but a good kind of weak, leading to a nap, of course.

as busy as a Moblivian Mold Burrower from the planet Zook. They are busy, believe me.

as slow as a snail. Duh!

as fat as Jaba the Hut, and his cousin Bubba the Lean-to.

The timid baby robin that lived in my garden for a few days.
