No different that a human. After years living in the wild I know that some other species also grieve the loss of those close to them. <BR/><BR/>I am glad you posted this and wrote what you wrote about it. Your writing is as heartfelt and beautiful as the photos. You are truly one with the wild beings and natural world around you. I am glad of that. Isn't it such an amazing experience to live like that?

I have a youngster around my house I've named Trouble, since he/she has absolutely NO fear of me. <BR/><BR/>Getting ready for the storm of Hanna, I took my glass windchimes down and put them securely in a cat bed on the front porch. That evening while watching TV I heard my chimes clinking and it took me a while to remember "Hey! I took those down" I walked to the front door and sure enough, there was Trouble. She/he had pulled out the chimes and was sitting on the porch floor playing and clanging them together!possumladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08060146825196164963noreply@blogger.com
