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?

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

How ever did you THINK UP making this list!?

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