LOL It's not just me. My brothers have sat and chatted at interested woodchucks and spruce grouse. Our pet fish used to demand attention instead of food sometimes, and it wasn't just goldfish. And we never had trouble with the coyotes coming and bugging our stock or our dog.
LOL! No. Dragonflies don't have parental instinct. But my family has a strange thing going on that makes wild animals, pet animals, and even insects think we're friends.
