WE live in the city, after growing up on a farm. I miss the animals. In the house i have one much loved and spoiled black lab. She is very good at her job which is to be close to me, and be ready to comfort me whenever I may need it. We do have an iragation ditch directly to the south of us. That brought a racoon family that lived in our attic. We had to get those out to do some electrical work and they got to messing up the sidding were they went in and out. Now we have some birds, or maybe rats, or cats living in the north wall, were I sew,and do lots ot things. I try not to trhink about the mess they are making.
