    Nawww, so many hugs! The lion though, what a cuddle ball of fur. I know they’re dangerous, but clearly that guy realised though two were kindhearted lovers of humans. I’m not sure I could ever hug a turkey though, ever.

    I love the way some pretty big animals, like the horse, go up to the human and pretty much fall on top of them. ❤️❤️❤️ So many smiles in this video. Thank you for sharing, Sandee! I hope you & hubby have a lovely week ahead xx

    Aww, isn’t that sweet. Don’t know if I would want to snuggle up with a turkey though. I found the fish pretty fascinating. Who knew a fish would do that.

      I’ve loved chickens we raised when I was growing up, but never turkeys. Happy week, Ann. 🙂

  6. Deborah – South San Francisco, CA – I am a Wise Woman who has been on a spiritual journey for many years. My wisdom was not gained through a higher education but through the University Of Life and all the insight, knowledge gained through the pain of trials and tribulations on the path of weeping to healing. Though I have come a long way, I am not done yet! I still have much wisdom to gain, more growth through pain, and the beauty of spirit that come by continual shedding of the old to receive the new! Sweet Blessings!

    this was just the sweetest!! Perfect for a Monday (or any day!) I love that it featured non-traditional animals. Who would think a gold fish would like to be petted?

    This was wonderful. I had no idea all these types of animals sought affection. Even a turkey! The one with the elephant reminded me of my Lucy girl, who uses her paw like he used his trunk to pull my hand to her tummy to rub.
