Strictly for the grandkids....

Hi Kids!

Thought you might like to see our pets. So here they are!

Actually, they are more like the wildlife we find around here. They aren't OUR pets.

The bird is a yellow-crowned night heron. The chickens are chickens. Pretty tricky, huh?

Cluck, chickens, cluck.

These baby goats are very cute. They are all over the island. There are some so small they are the size of cats. I think your parents should get you one or two. They wouldn't be any trouble at all. Beg, grandchildren, beg.

This lovely pig was strolling down the main street in Montego Bay, and no one paid any attention to him. He is just looking for some garbage. He found the garbage. He is a happy pig. Chew, pig, chew.

You now are looking at Ferdinand the bull. He is a happy bull because he is surrounded by lots of yummy stuff to stuff himself with. He made menacing noises at us as we photographed him. I think he was afraid we would take away his yummy stuff. Chill, bull, chill.

Another little herd of frolicking goats, kicking up their heels in happiness because they have no worries. Or they are hurrying away from our car in fear we will run over them. Yes, I think that is what they are doing. Run, goats, run.

Here is a tiny moth on our gate. It looked bigger in real life. It was in the sun and was too fried to fly away. Fly, moth, fly!

I bet you can't see who lives here, can you? It is a land crab. He didn't want his picture taken. He lives in our back yard, but only comes out at night. Sorry we didn't stay up to get his photo. We were sleeping. Wake up, crab, wake up.

That's all for now. Sure does take a lot of time to do this, but I'll get faster, I'm sure.

Just remember that each of you are our favorite pets! Love you lots! Grandma and Grandpa
