Happy August to all you wonderful readers, let's make August a wonderful month so make sure you try not to judge, be forgiving, be grateful and always be kind and generous.
I have had many pets throughout my life from dogs and cats to hamsters guinea pigs and tortoises. My first dog was a collie mix called Lassie and she was as much as a loveable rascal as I was. She used to run away for a bit of hankypanky!
The beauty about animals is that they live in the now!
They give you unconditional love, they aren't two faced and they forgive you immediately.
We as Humans need to learn from them
They are awesome as indeed are you, my wonderful readers.
So today I will share some words and pictures about not your average pets. If you read my articles you will know that I have moved house recently and now live five minutes walking distance from an amazing park in the Kingdom of Fife in Scotland. In this park I have met many creatures and they have become wild pets as such. They talk to me so I think of them as pets, they have names like pets and I feed them like pets. So I agree that they are not your average pets, but they are still pets nevertheless!
My Enchanted Park Pets
First up is Sammy, he made an appearance in the following article about my first trip to the park !

He only makes sporadic appearances so I do leave his nuts by his favourite tree which is shown in the picture above. He actually turned out to be very wise and is the wizard Sir Michael Scott's right hand squirrel and guides me through the Enchanted Wizard Trail from time to time.
Some of you will know Milly the Mallard Duck. She was the one who was upset by Dafty the Pomeranian Duck when he appeared to choose her sister Molly, so she targeted David the male Mallard Duck whilst on the rebound. That is them pictured above with the friendly little seagull Four Feathers who acts as my messenger. The lake is quite large and I often don't get around to seeing and feeding everyone, so Four Feathers goes round telling everyone I am here with their daily food, if they haven't been alerted by my calling.
The boisterous star of the show of course is Dafty the Pomeranian Duck (aka drama queen)
Now that Dafty has settled down from discovering his German heritage and he doesn't pout anymore, he seems to back in fine fettle and is chasing ALL the female ducks, he really is a hornduck!
There are so many ducks, coots and moorhens that I do not have enough time or space to mention all of them but I will leave you with a picture of the Swan family. Stevie and Suzy Swan and their six pie children, the cygnets Cutie, Sweetie, Strawberry, Blueberry, Mud and Coo. Can you name them all? Check out how big they are getting now? It will be interesting to see when they have their full adult plumage of white feathers. At the moment the parents are still very protective of their children, however there will come a point when they tell them to fly the nest, so they may well end up leaving and looking for the nearest flock of swans to live with.
This year has been flying fast, so I though it appropriate to show my latest wee creature I had a chat with! His name is Freddie the Fly and I mentioned him in Noise.
