The turtle lived under my bed, and would come out at night for his soak/drink and to eat his veggies. Rafferty would spend a half-hour polishing the turtle's shell to a high sheen. Then the turtle would sleep up against his belly. My golden retriever when I was a kid had a pet box turtle.

When we still had dairy goats, the kids used him to climb on or for a sunshade and we could leave him in the corral with the goats at night and not worry about predators. Our neighbor's cows graze here off and on, and Bill (the horse)will lick the cows' faces. Also, the cows use him as a baby-sitter. He even thought the pigs we have raised from time to time were great entertainment (and most horses most emphatically don't like swine!) Both mares who have lived with Bill seemed to think his fondness for other livestock a little odd. Our Percheron/Standardbred cross gelding loves all other livestock.

One of our German Shepherds was best friends with one of our ferrets. Don't have any quality photos; our camera back then was snap shots - you know, fuzzy! smile.... Present day or any in the past?
