I copied the rules:

1. Thank the person who nominated you.

Done!

Done!

3. Share 7 things about yourself.

a) I absolutely love hand feeding animals. To date, I have had the following animals eating out of my hand: a giraffe, goats, rabbits, a moose, terrapins, a camel, kangaroos, parrots, cows, an elephant. If you see any animals in need of feeding, send them my way. 🙂
