I currently have ducks…

Mornings are sublime on certain days as at least 3 times a week they will come sit with me during my morning coffee.

After cleaning and preening they settle in, nestle their heads under a wing and sleep just a foot from me.

I’ve had experiences with dolphins, chimps and horses that gave me that same feeling he must have had…

Am I dreaming?

The Chimp has way more humanity, than the P.O.T.U.S., his cabinet and his agents.

M. Pieri removes the leaf. You can see the chimpanzee right after moving his hand to show "I was going to get that".
