The other day I was looking for Frank, normally when I call his name he comes straight to me. But he was nowhere to be seen, then after my second round I discovered him sitting in the garden of the church. Only he didn't react, he pretended not to know me. He was in fact socializing with a female cat.
Apparently he had other priorities at the time.
It is not a best photo, but this is Frank and I think his girlfriend.

OMG @loreta ! You don't know how close to the truth this can be.
I once had a dog, Molly, who was very bright and honestly, she came back to me as another dog, Archie...whom I'd like to speak of later....but back to Molly. She and I had recently moved and found a new vet. We brought home a doogie welcome kit from the vet, and included was a box of biscuits.
I came home from work one day and heard the tv in my bedroom playing. I went to check on this, since I knew I didn't leave it on, nor was it on in the morning, before I left for work.
So I go in my room, and there's Molly, laying down on my bed, head up watching tv. In front of her forepaws was the tv remote, which I kept on the nightstand, and the new box of cookies, which I hadn't opened and were in the kitchen on the counter when I left. A corner of the biscuit box was chewed open and 3 or 4 dog cookies were in a pile in front of her! She gave me a passing look and returned to watching the tv....🤣
This is incredible!
Horses are amazing. In front of them I always feel a lot of wonder and respect, like to be in front of a very not just wild beast but very ancient, from the past of humanity. Thanks for the video.A Friesian horse mother who gives birth to a stillborn foal and of a foal (not a Friesian one) who has just been born and whose mother died just after giving birth to him.

Some beautiful footage in this video:
We, humans, are really ugly compared to birds. We aren't even able to fly. These pictures are marvelous, really. Nature is a miracle of beauty.
