I have a recurring dream that Filbert can swim out of water & follows me to work. Guess he can't be away from me. :smitten:

have you read that article yet?

I was a little shocked but in practice it worked. I know you are not new and maybe there is nothing there you didn't already know, but just thought I would check.
if you follow me, you avoid stepping in the crap that I just did...

So when do we get to see pictures of Francis and his tank?
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.
