<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ArbySea, post: 11749461, member: 111309&quot;]I know many of you have pets, but are any of them numismatists like you? My dog Daisy is. </p><p><br /></p><p>I recently posted a picture of my dog Daisy and I admiring a Walking Liberty half dollar that I had won in a [USER=10461]@lordmarcovan[/USER] giveaway.</p><p><br /></p><p>(&nbsp; <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/lordm-giveaway-78-twelve-drawings.401127/page-14" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/lordm-giveaway-78-twelve-drawings.401127/page-14">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/lordm-giveaway-78-twelve-drawings.401127/page-14</a>) [post # 267]&nbsp;&nbsp; [USER=10461]@lordmarcovan[/USER] did warn me to beware of Daisy drool -- the coin stayed in its plastic cover.</p><p><br /></p><p>Daisy’s interest in coins started, though, some time ago.&nbsp; One day I needed to run a variety of errands and got home a little later than I had hoped.&nbsp; When I went to let the dogs out for a potty break, I noticed a pile of shredded paper and quarters on the den couch.&nbsp; One of the dogs had destroyed a roll of quarters.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1526616[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>First, the backstory.&nbsp; About a year and a half ago my wife and kids visited the local SPCA and came home with Daisy.&nbsp; She is a sweet dog, but we really need to stop visiting the pound. (No, not really).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My wife and I have matching recliner chairs in the den.&nbsp; When I am sitting in my chair with the foot-rest raised, Daisy likes to nap between my feet.&nbsp; When she isn’t with me, she is either on the foot-rest of my wife’s chair or on the couch that she seems to have adopted.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1526619[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I like to do my coin searches while relaxing in my chair.&nbsp; I have an end table to hold all the coin paraphernalia (coins to search, paper wrappers, computer, loupe, various containers, microscope, etc.).&nbsp; My computer has the relevant information about the coins I’m looking for, and the microscope (for my old weak eyes) projects to the computer screen. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1526620[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Daisy often pays close attention to my coin search routine.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1526621[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>SO, this is what I think happened.&nbsp; Daisy caught the coin collecting bug. Seeing her chance while I was out, she snagged a roll of quarters off the end table, took it to her couch and went through them. </p><p><br /></p><p>When I cleaned up the mess she made, I only found $9.75.&nbsp; Clearly she found a quarter she wanted for herself.&nbsp; I just know it was a “W” mint; Daisy knows how excited I get when I find a West Point minted quarter.</p><p><br /></p><p>Legend has it that animals temporarily gain the power to talk at midnight on Christmas eve. I’m thinking about trying to stay up late that night to ask her about her collection. </p><p><br /></p><p>Do any of your pets have a special hobby??[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
