Unique Pets

I have 44 critters total at this time—I don't keep count, but my daughter does! Of these one is a bearded dragon and another is a turkey.

Goobles the turkey loves attention. He follows us around and doesn't like to stay at the barn anymore, especially after his turkey friend got eaten by coyotes. Goobles now roosts on the front porch, resting on the wicker bench facing the picture window so he can watch us inside. He'll peck on the window to get our attention.

Goobles doesn't like my husband or son; he chases both whenever they're outside. If they are cutting wood or doing something else, we have to pen up Goobles so he doesn't become our Thanksgiving dinner!
