Do Goldfish Play?

[Event Horizon]

Ok... I thought it might have just been me... a few years back I had our first fish so use to the touch I started feeling guilty and stopped. She would come up to me and nibble my fingers, and rub up on my fingers. I could actually scoop her up in my hand (not leaving the water) and she would just slither off and come back for more.

my fantails do that to get a belly rub the swim into my hands in the water .

we well send Haro out on a mission to check all that out ,government funded

No need, Sissy.... the work has already been done! At the moment, there is no pope, so the answer is NO, but usually it is YES. As for the bears, They do most of the time, but prefer the roadways, as there is no vegetation to tickle their delicate backsides. :nananananana: BTW, the bear thing WAS government-funded, as I was working for the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests at the time.

It's funny how I used to sit and watch my turtles (who don't seem to do much playing, just alot of begging). And know I sit and watch the fish, who make me laugh cuz I think they are playing. But, when I try to hide, so they can't see me watching them, they always know where I am and do nothing but sit still for quite awhile. Slowly they start doing their fishy busy stuff...as long as I sit still. But, trying to find a place to hide so I can watch the turtles is not possible...they always know when I'm around and are much more interested in watching me than I am them. Even when I put them outside in the yard they want to know where I'm going. And, the reason why? Because they are pigs in a shell! All they want, care and think about is me...the food provider! There is not an ounce of fear in them, when it comes to me. I'm their belly scratcher, meal provider, fresh water changer and now...the great Paradise Pond building buddy! Pig Pals. :banana: :boldblue: :fish2: :heartpump: :0000000057:

Yeah I know what you mean sissy , here at the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth two years ago they Spent £45,000 on do fish have a memory, by training a blue Wrass to come to the side of its tank when they tapped on the side of the tank to see if it would remember the signal when they called it, god what a waste of cash.
We could have told them a hell of alot more what fish do for the price of a Starbucks coffee and muffin or in we Brits case a cup of extra strong tea and a hobnob bisquit.
Waste of money or what

next they will try to prove pigs can fly so don't look up ,piggy poop in the eye .Ok Dave now you have to show us dummies what a hobnob bisquit is .We here have a croissant or at least thats what I like with a good strong cup of tea and honey on the croissant ,no butter just good old fashioned bee pee as they call it here in VA :razz:

 

[HARO]

Hate to burst your bubble, Sissy, but croissants are French, not British. BTW, I'm sorry if I gave the impression that I was paid to study bear pooping habits. I was actually planting and pruning reforested areas at the time, but bears are everywhere in northern Ontario's Chapleau Game Preserve.

I know they are french but love them with tea .I have a friend Monique and she makes home made ones and she is very french .Her family still lives there and I flew over 1 time with her and that I have to say is the way to see the real France ,the country side folk there are the best .Goats cows and whatever else running in the yard wine from there vineyards and fresh goat cheese .I believe you haro but think you might have been looking for the bear poo here they just cut down trees and let all the garbage lay on the ground .The 3 countries I would love to visit again Germany ,France and Puerto Rico as I have friends who live there and much better way to see a country when you visit and people live there and know how to show you the real country ,not the touristy country .What they do here Haro when they cut down trees and this is actually cleaned up.They were supposed to cut down the trees on the other guys land and well they decided to take some of mine and they were all clearly marked too .

 

[sissy]
