One of Zane's books is Not My Dragon, which is one of those tactile books where part of each page has a different texture. Faith's favorite page exclaims that it can't be my dragon because its ears are too tufty!
Speaking of tufts, this velvet horned little buck was in our backyard the other evening while we all sat on the porch and watched it. The white "tuft" on the back leg seemed to bother him as he'd stop to nibble it from time to time. Anyone seen this kind of thing?
Bot fly maybe?
warning: do not google bot fly
yikes!
