Que?

I mentioned the new dog before, the mastiff/great dane mix. I get to take her home on Friday (she's being fostered on a farm in South Carolina, while I live in Maryland; hence the delay). My house doesn't have a dog in it for the first time in decades, so the house feels empty.

Oh yes, stream and his new BEARDOG. good luck. I hope you put the valuables up.

**streamdragon**

pft, what valuables? I play warham- oooooooh. yeah, they live in my closet of shame. (That is, the closet with probably a thousand dollars of unopened models...)

Mhm, all we get is birds catching carps from our pond, realizing it's to big and letting i suffocate on the grass.

Birds are dicks.

Where do you live exactly, and what times is your house vacant?

And yes Sol, this thread sums up that birds are indeed, dicks

My GF lives about a half mile from the beach. One morning, she found a catfish just laying on her porch. No idea where it came from. I told her it was probably a bird that caught it, but then dropped it when it couldn't carry it.

**Surtur**

I'm so sorry your GF didn't like your catfish kronk.

I go to see what is going on seeing if my cats are attacking them again. As soon as I get to the chicken coup I see this big brown and gray-ish bird (I assume it is a hawk) flying off with one of my chickens.

Nature sucks.

Third world problems bro. Call me when and Eagle takes your smart phone.

If you offer it a dog it will give the phone back. Sandra Bullock taught me that.

Actually talking about this, I had an almost killed Bantam chook by a hawk. We saw a hawk-shadow coming down. The chicken ran into the coop, and next thing we knew, raptor sitting on the fence looking around...
