Animal Tails

It's story time friends. see what I did with the title there This morning while Ike and I watched a documentary about solitary confinement we were disrupted by what sounded like someone trying to get into the house. He perked up his ears and like the good guard dog I am I got up to either run for the gun or hide behind the chair. I hadn't yet decided.

Then I saw about 6 birds come over to the window right beside our chair and I soon realized they were the ones causing the ruckus. When the door wouldn't open they tried the window:

This little guy pecked on the screen for a good while before giving up. I couldn't decide if they were there to hold me hostage until I put out bird seed or if they were seeking supplies for nests (which I think it may be too late in the year for, I'm a bird-watcher not a bird-psychic).

Since it's summer and I trust they are finding food easily I decided to give them supplies for a nest, should that be what they're after. Ergo:

My second animal tale is a humorous one...probably should've started with it. I took my comforter to the cleaner's last week  to drop off because it smelled like Ike and I wanted it to be clean before I give it away.

I took it in a garbage bag because it is also covered with Ike. The man kindly asked me if he would find any "surprises" in said bag. I responded no and he proceeded to tell me about a woman who came in with a similar bag but wrapped in her comforter was dog poo.

This left me with the uncomfortable task of having to utter the phrase, "No sir, there's no shit in that bag." I can only hope that opportunity will present itself again in my lifetime.

And here's a picture of my favorite animal tail:

 

Actually now that I think about it I have lots of pics of legit animal tail, for your viewing pleasure;

 

 

 

 

I have a real knack for snapping pictures of God's creatures as they run away from me. It's my gift.
