The Battle of the Bird

April 27, 2009

Not much happening today. I almost got excited when she went home for lunch though.

Her big hairy Australian Shepherd, Sadie (Cujo would have been a more apt moniker) found a baby bird that fell out of the bird house and chomped on it. This prompts Katt to yell at the big hairy beast to leave the birds alone. Did Cuj..er Sadie listen? Of course not! This starts a game of chase around the back yard. Thankfully Sadie is fatter and has less stamina than the slightly less out of shape Katt. Katt catches Sadie when the dog lays down to take a breather and pries the bird from Sadie's slobbery jaws.

Stupid move… because now she has a half dead baby bird. She should have let Cujo go ahead and finish the job. Nope, now SHE has to put the poor thing out of it’s misery by stepping on its head as it’s pitifully flopping around on the porch. (The Bird - not the dog) Needless to say, this wasn’t the way she wanted to spend her lunch hour. Scraping birdie brains off her shoe and the porch after a 15 minute game of tag . She wasn’t real happy by the time lunch was over. The dog wasn’t real happy about it either.

So all in all – everyone is a little cranky this Monday morning. : )

Wish I coulda stayed with the bird and had lunch.
