Winnie’s Retirement

Mamma Turkey: Did you hear?
Mamma Deer: No, what?
MT: She retired!
MD: Who?
MT: Who do you think? Remember those hostas you’ve been drooling over?
MD: Her!!! They haven’t hired a replacement?
MT: Not yet. This could be an amazing summer.
MD: Hosta buffet here we come!
MT: Absolutely! I’ve got eight hungry chick mouths to feed.
MD: I knew she was slowing down, but I didn’t dare risk it. Remember when she took out Rocky?
MT: The racoon? I wondered what happened to him.
MD: Not a pretty sight. Scary.

MT: Yeah. She barely comes out the doggy door these days. The squirrels run around like they own the place.
MD: Awesome. I’ve been so worried about creating a safe space for my two fawns.
MT: Pretty sweet. Put out the word.
Mamma Bunny: Let the feasting begin!

Speaking of retired…T.Touris is now retired from computer programming. He spends his free time pretending to chase deer, turkeys, and rabbits out of the yard while secretly enjoying their company and offering them tasty treats!
