Start reading—and laughing—right now! Dear Gardener, Thank you for reading content from GreenPrints—we appreciate your loyalty, and we share with you below a premium story that will make you laugh and smile. When you read the special GreenPrints Collection [Animals in the Garden: Funny stories to entertain & amuse you]( today, you get entertaining stories that are guaranteed to tickle your funny bone! I remember when I was growing up, and my family of ten—my parents and eight kids—had two dogs, Daisy and Bootsie, who had to live outside in dog houses because one of my brothers was allergic to all the dog hair. Well, Daisy and Bootsie regularly competed for fun amongst the plants in the yard—a beautiful garden of flowers and vegetables, the pride of my father’s efforts. Too much fun, though, that Bootsie was sent away “to live at another home” for digging up the yard in uncountable places! It was sad for us kids to say goodbye to Bootsie, but Daisy got smart about how and when to play, and her yard antics made us all laugh and laugh and laugh. [Healing Gardens Collection]( Until one day, my mother caught Daisy ripping apart the chrysanthemums, and Mom declared, “Daisy, I am the queen of this house, not you. And the queen has spoken—you will stop this nonsense at once!” Daisy whimpered at the sound of my mother’s authoritative voice, and we kids were so glad that Daisy was the one in trouble, not us! All that laughing, it turns out, was good for our health—studies show that regular laughter has real long-term health benefits: - Boost your immune system: Laughing is a positive emotion that can release neuropeptides in your body, helping you to fight illness. - Soothe your pain: When you laugh, your body produces its own natural painkillers—give me more of that, please! - Avoid stress and anxiety: Laughter really is medicine for your body, and regular humor in your life can help you reduce or avoid stress—and even help you avoid anxiety and feel happier. When laughter is so good for you, you should have regular sources of humor to help you maximize all the benefit. So, please check out this story from the GreenPrints Collection [Animals in the Garden: Funny stories to entertain & amuse you]( entitled “Is That a Rabbit on Your Head?”—you’ll get a good laugh when you get to the end of the story! [Is That a Rabbit on Your Head?]( At first it seemed so sweet…

 When I moved from Hawaii to a small Massachusetts town west of Boston, bonding with nature took on new meaning for me. Springtime in New England arrives right after mud season. Gardeners, desperate for a hot date with color after the frigid Winter, are filled with longings that must be satisfied. Knowing my own predisposition for filling my car with plants every time I visited a nursery, I needed a support group. A friend urged me to join the town garden club. “You’ll fit right in. These are very creative people who know their flowers and get their hands dirty,” he told me. I volunteered to be on the plant collecting committee. Our task was digging up our neighbors’ unwanted plants to be sold at the garden club’s sale. I looked forward to seeing gardens and learning more about local customs. Shedding my long underwear like a snake sheds its skin, I awaited my digging partner, Liz, whose family had lived there for generations. She arrived with an arsenal of shovels, clippers, gloves, and buckets laid out neatly on a tarp in the back of her posh station wagon.
