LIVE AND LET LIVE

When I read online comments and complaints about wild critters wandering on our streets and yards, I remember that this used to be a rather remote area, where wildlife roamed free to feed and thrive. My family taught us to keep our pets indoors at night, and let the critters have their space. Live and let live. (Mary Sheppard)
