And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Our farm cat has one job, catching mice & rats - she fails. Last winter, the house was overrun with mice, we put out traps to catch them.
Our Dogs have multiple jobs, watching, chasing birds away from the livestock, herding, fetching & returning to us when we call. A bonus, they are great lap warmers.
I once took a pizza out of the oven and set it on a table. My kitty smelled the aroma and jumped on the table to investigate. Landed right on top of the piping hot pizza and slid across the cheese. He never jumped on the table again.
My present cat has proven that some species of algae are smarter than her.
