It’s all about its and it’s here in Itsville

It’s a gorgeous day here in Itsville.  Only animals live here, because it’s easier to use its with animals. The blue bird is building its nest. It’s made of twigs and iPhone charging cords. The llama is just staring at everyone; it’s kind of creepy to be honest.  The squirrel is hopping up and down on its back legs, getting ready to race the chicken across the road. It’s going to be a close race.
