Ducks. They are my favourite animal and never fail to amuse me. I love them so much I can't be in the presence of anyone eating a meal of duck. It's like the concept of eating dogs, to me.
Wonderfully silly animals. QUACK1

I'm quite fond of the massive dragonflies that hover around bits of the campus like little UFOs. Also when they have stew available at the diner.

Since this has turned into a favourite animal thread, I love both cats and dormice.
But putting animals to one side:
- soaking in a bubble bath - a good book - my bed - peace and quiet / tranquillity - a mostly empty cinema auditorium - Indian restaurants - chocolate - sensible combinations of any of the above
How about you, Graham?

I have to say one thing that always makes me smile no matter what is when Susie decides to scrape her bum on the ground. I can't not smile.
Hedgehogs in the garden as well, lovely animals. Have a lot of time for them.

Being able to leave an urban area and go where there is water and trees and plants and a distinct lack of concrete makes me happy.
Getting time to sit down and read something new is another thing that is always good for cheering me up.
I like animals that stake out their space even as we try to encroach on it - like the Heron that gives me a dirty look because it thinks I have scared the fish, or the fox who is less than impressed by the fact that I walk down his personal bit of road by the manse of an evening.

My biggest Little Thing is taking Coben (the dog) for a walk. Cheshire is full of beautiful places to walk.
We do avoid any farmland with livestock... farmers are legally allowed to shoot a dog if he thinks it poses a threat or nuisance.
Ironically, Coben is terrified of cows so he'd never go near them anyway. Me too. I never know what they're thinking.

I was going to say, I've not read anything on here about Coben for a while.

They know more than they let on. Three of them judged me last week when I was out running. I have to run past them again later today. I am afraid...
