Wow, just now seeing the photo of your javelina. What a sight, with 14 of them in your yard! Do they do much damage to your plants, or do they mostly just eat the bird seed?

[luvie]

LOL! Better late than never, huh!

Hope you enjoy them! :D

[JustAmy]

That is beautiful, Yorkie. Thank you for the link.

The one that Aqua posted was at post 2 to open March. It is an instramental. If you missed it, it is worth listening to again.

[JustAmy]

Purrfect.

Just got back from AWANA so I am ready!!

[JustAmy]

Night, Aqua. Sweet dreams.

I must tell you a story: When my grandaughter was four, she was here to celebrate my birthday, and I told her about the javelinas. She hopped up on my lap, and begged me to show her pictures of them on my computer.

As I was showing her pictures (on Google Images), she asked me what they eat. I told her they were mostly herbivores, which means they eat plants.

She shuddered, and said, "Grammy! Look at those teeth! Those are CARNIVORE teeth! They are NOT herbivores, they are partly 'carnivores', which means they are "OMNIVORES"!

I told her she was probably very right. Then, her little body shivered and shuddered on my lap. "Grammy", she whispered to me. "I know what they eat!"

Feeling her intensity, I tightened my arm around her, and said, "What, honey?"

Her little hands clutched my arm, as she rasped out the words..............."They eat little girls!"

Looking at this picture, I can see where that nightmare came from. Poor little lady. I don't blame her. I wish I hadn't showed them to her.

[JustAmy]

Ugly things, aren’t they?

I wouldn’t want to meet one of those guys .... I think they would eat old ladies too. :^)

[luvie]

Oh, my goodness! Bless her little heart!

And....how does a 4-year old know the difference between carnivore and omnivore! LOL! She’s really a smart little thing!

[yorkie]

Lori, they do not do much damage to my property - as they LOVE the bird seed more than anything. (They even get into fights (under the bird feeders) for positions - to get the dropped seed.) They love bulbs, and dig them up, so I don’t plant them anymore. Their urine does destroy my grass, and as I have three levels of lawn, it is quite a challenge.

The deer do more damage - they are now eating my shrubs right outside my patio door.

Rabbits eat the grass down to the roots. The moles eat everything I plant, including tomato plants, roses and even marigolds.

The coyotes are omnivores, and eat the juniper berries, but love rabbits, mice, squirrels, and YORKIES more than anything.

[yorkie]

She is now eight, and having a lot of problems. Her twin sisters were born when she was four - and it has been down-hill ever since. (How will that woman with EIGHT babies ever do it?)

[luvie]

Bless her heart! She needs her gramma!

My guess is that those kids of the lady with so many will
have LOTS of problems...and that is mostly because of who
their mom is! Sad situation!

[yorkie]

The mom has been on Dr. Phil twice now. She is in total denial about what she is about to face. (My daughter can barely make it with those twins) - but the mom with EIGHT more - on top of the previous SIX - no income - no husband - no home - no support? OMG!

[luvie]

Did you see that call she made to 911—she had misplaced one
of her sons???? (or so she said) How does something like this happen!

[yorkie]

What disturbed me about that call, was her repeately saying to the 9-11 operater, (in front of her other children),”I’m going to KILL myself! I’m going to KILL myself!” (Turned out her mother had the child).

This woman is not emotionally, physically, psychologically, intellectually, spiritually, or monitarily strong enough to deal with what is about to happen - God forbid!

[luvie]

I just pray that God will take care of those sweet little
kids. They don’t deserve the life they are going to live with
someone so mentally unstable.

Nite, Yorkie. Need sleep! ((((hugs)))) Sweet dreams to you!

[yorkie]

Sweet dreams to YOU, too, Luv! See you tomorrow. Hope you are feeling better tonight! ((((hugs))))

A few years ago this was humor...remote and possible. Now with The One at the helm, it is a scary near future reality I fear!
