Not your average pet
1st August 2021 2331 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 ! https://read.cash/@TengoLoTodo/a-wee-dod-o-nature-the-day-bea2529d
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. https://youtu.be/dOWfeyX2d5c **This post is part of the writing prompt series and is #10 Pets.

Of all the pets you have met in your new neighborhood, I like Sammy the most. And the reason is because he is very intelligent But somehow, I like four feathers for always going round announcing your presence to everyone... Smiles I would love to join the prompt, but i am having issues with tagging and mentioning Everytime, I use the @ to tag someone, it just doesn't work .... I don't know what to do Can you help me out, sir?
are you writing the name immediately after the @ with no space?
Yes, that's exactly how I do it......or isn't that the correct way to write?
yes @Edystringz just like that, when you do in your article it should start to bring up names and click when the name is there or just write it out, that will work too.
Oh... Wait.... I think my mistake is always trying to type people's names with a small letter. I'll try it out.... Thank you very much
ah ok keeping my fingers crossed for you
Lol.... I tried it.... It worked 💃💃💃💃 The name popped up like you said it would... I am grateful 😊
woohoo well done ! Now I will be able to read it !
You have made a point that is the true features of pets they forgive immediately, they never betray their owner or trade their love for their owner
Exactly, they show us what we should be doing!
How cute are them.😍 And you are amazing in remembering their names. I mean they are alot.
there are lots, Percy the pigeon Rocky the raven so many I didn't mention, you recognize them though so can remember, but some of the female ducks unless they are close I get mixed up haha
Wow you are great. I mean we have 6 pets at home, we have 4 dogs and 2 cats . I can easily remember the names of my cats but I got mixed up with my dogs hahaha
oh really are the dogs the same ? And welcome to read Lyn
Not your average pet, indeed.
Yes not the average pet for not the average me charr!
Those pets are really amazing kuya ed. So dafty made a decision already and choose between the siblings. I love your conversation with you newest wee fly friend. The fly is really obedient to you hehez.
Hehe the fly was making sure he cleaned for the covid precautions haha wee one. Well Dafty wants them all ! So Milly told him to go away haha Hope you got a smile and did what I said about the mirror?
Thats good for the fly then. Haha silly dafty. Yes kuya Ed tho im not used to it but its good po :) and laugh when i look at the mirror too long hehez
Well do it every time you go past the mirror, it will cheer you up. Who better to cheer us up , than ourselves wee one! Yes Dafty is really daft!
Thanks to you kuya ed, will do it every morning. Im amazed with your voice hehez
Perfect , oo every morning will be awesome! hehe did you understand me
Yes and your voice was so deep and big haha
Animals are way better than humans ❣️
I can't argue with that
You have a lot of petssss, danggg. I also have pets though 2 of them passed away before. I still remember them and will always gonna remember, my new pet is named snow she's a cat. Pets actually are not just pet I even loved them more than I loved humanity. Once you fed an animal it will never betray you. And then you'll have an extra family to smile with
ah yes I remember you showed a picture of snow your cute white cat. Yes pets don't answer back and yes won't betray you, they are special and I do think we need to learn from the pets.
Yesss , I get my cat from the road they said I save the cat but the truth is snow save me. There's a lot of things to learn from animals
You know it is amazing how often animals do save us humans. Well snow knew she had to save you, so waited for you!
I'm getting to know more about Dafty now. 😁
hehe is that good hahaha
He's an expert at getting everyone's attention haha
haha yes he really is
I love all your pets! Nice video, hehe. And the names of the little swans are too cute. You really have a problem with Germans, haha. Thank goodness, I don't have any feeling of bond with my German heritage, haha. So I don't pout like Dafty, LOL
yes took a while for Stevie and Suzy to agree that their kids would all be pies hehe yes Dafty is over his pouting, I did tell him the British Royal family have German heritage so now he struts like he is the King or something haha and no you won't ever pout like Dafty 😂
I won't ever pout, haha. I'm going to strut like Dafty pretending to be the Queen 😂😂
I just remembered my college buddy Mr. Hamsty haha. My Hamster who's entertained me during my college stress. But being old its meant to all so he's now gone .
hehe yes animals do entertain us, and unfortunately their shorter lifespans means they are gone to soo, but I am sure you have fond memories of Mr Hamsty 😁
Hi Sammy!! I love to join. I have lots of pet story and I have lots of cats and dogs.
You got so many pets there. I like Dafty the most, the drama queen. A duck with an attitude just like my King here. 😄 I'm just passing by, good morning 🌅 .
I see you got a new character! I wonder what part is he going to play 🤭
Not your average pet indeed. I love the swan family the most. Cutie swannies on the lake.🦆🦆
I don't have such pets but those ducks are so lovely.
I do have pets here in our home and all of them are dogs and we do have chickens in our yard.
You got a lot of pets. It's so nice of you to take care of them all.
That is a lot a of pets and they are in good hands with you. You have good relationship with them as well! Dafty is back and he is becoming a chaser. and helllo mister Fly
Yahhh I can still recall those animals in your story. 😁 Hoping to know more of them.
I love pets too sir.. Good to know you are a pet lover sir. I have cat and dog in my home.. They are my happiness..❤️ God bless you sir...🙏😇
The fly is very obedient Mr Dolittle haha.... Wouldn't it be amazing if we can really understand them, like the movie Mr Dolittle. I would want to know what my dogs are, talking about. Hahaha. I like Freddie the fly a very obedient one.
They are cute, Uncle. It can be a stress reliever too. They are lucky to have you. :)
