Comments on: So is it “technically” considered stealing, if it is put out to be taken? http://mona.myartbliss.com/post/so-is-it-technically-considered-stealing-if-it-is-put-out-to-be-taken Art, Animals, and the Creative Experience Wed, 08 Feb 2012 11:04:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1 By: MonaMajorowicz http://mona.myartbliss.com/post/so-is-it-technically-considered-stealing-if-it-is-put-out-to-be-taken#comment-8671 MonaMajorowicz Sat, 10 Oct 2009 22:22:31 +0000 http://mona.myartbliss.com/post/so-is-it-technically-considered-stealing-if-it-is-put-out-to-be-taken#comment-8671 <strong>Robert</strong> I used to share my lunch with Oliver and when he got a little bit of yogurt he knew lunch was done. It was out desert. I like your leaving one apple as a gift to the Goddess. A tradition my grandma passed on to me when gardening to always plant 3 veggie plants of everything. One for God, one for critters and bugs and one for yourself. :) Robert

My cat is like that. The only food treat Ari likes is yogurt. So I stopped getting expensive kitty treats or offering him cheese most of the time, but we have this agreement. Whenever I have yogurt, we share. He gets his spoonful of it and will eat it off the spoon very daintily and I will eat the rest of the container and we're both good. And no, taking the complimentary apples is not stealing. They put those out for guests to eat. That's like taking home the little soaps and shampoos from your room instead of leaving them to be thrown out by the maid. Taking the towels and ashtrays is stealing, but the apples aren't. Even if you're grabbing lots of them for a greedy horse. Very considerate of you to look for the bruised and unappetizing ones humans wouldn't want anyway, considering Chicory wouldn't care. Kitten says that horses will go nuts for watermelon rind. I haven't tried bringing any to Felony yet but I think I want to sometime just to see if she likes it and keep making friends with her. Yay for your new apple tree in your favorite breed of apple! We had one in the yard back in Kansas and it was so cool. Two years we got harvests, one year it was a big harvest and the other a so-so harvest, one year we got exactly one apple and left it out on the tree as a gift to the Goddess and a plea for more next year. Very cool that your neighbors let you pick up windfall apples for horse treats too. I remember when I was a kid in a Chicago suburb, two doors down was the last tiny two-acre remnant of the farm that used to be the subdivision and they had tons of apples. They let us pick up windfall apples so I'd bring in bushels of them and my grandmother made pies with them. They were so good. So were the wild grapes. Awww that’s neat! My cat is like that.
