Annie Almost Caught a Bird
Annie, the D-pet, loves to go out in the back, mainly because there's
all sorts of skwerls to chase (she leaps as high as she can at the tree they run up as soon as the door opens - we must have the most fit-n-trim skwerls in the county!). Just now I let her out, and she did the skwerl chasing bit, then headed toward a back corner of the yard. Well, she started sniffing at something, and then did the jump-back-a-bit-cuz-it-moved, so I went back there to investigate, and got dive-bombed by some Robins - as did Annie. Seemed she had "cornered" a fledgling robin - and Mama & Papa were doing there best to drive us away (and I think Aunts and Uncles, maybe even siblings, as there were more than two birds making a ruckus). I grabbed Annie's collar, and got between her and fledge ling, reached for it, and it hopped-flew through some pickets on the fence to safety, but still I took Annie inside, to let the bird family calm down. -- ^..^ This is Kitty. Copy and paste Kitty into your signature to help her wipe out Bunny's world domination. -- The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington!

We had a swallow's nest under the eve of the house, and the entire extended family of those 2 eggs were like the Bird Mafia. And F&B aren't that easy to intimidate. The babies must have learned well; they flew off today. Parents, aunts, uncles, and cousins are gone too. Sherry |
