Itchy and scratchy

“When you have an impossible itch, a partner is a useful tool.”

-Me

I don’t know about you, but my back has been so itchy lately! I use the corner of my cellphone to reach the spot right in the middle of my back to get some relief. I thought I was the only itchy one until today.

Today a lot of nature was in need of scratches. My sister’s dog seemed especially needy. One of the baby owls used its beak to dig at its talons and feathers. The deer were partnered up grooming each other in the rain.

I can feel their relief, but I can’t explain why.
