Yesterday i got a call from the one neighbor. I looked at the caller ID and sighed thinking that the dog was yet again making an ass of herself. Instead this neighbor was calling to say that the dogs caught a Grackle (a grossly common NOISY nuisance bird that lives in extremely large flocks and leaves once everything is covered in Grackle shit)
Apparently, they snatched this bird and promptly went to play with it much like a cat plays with a mouse until it is dead. Meanwhile the flock of Grackles, perched on every square inch of every branch sturdy enough to hold their weight screeched while others dive-bombed the dogs. I had visions of this bird being eaten by one or both of my dogs, leading to an emergency trip to the vet with lacerated stomachs and bowels from the bird bones.
To my surprise, it appeared they stopped messing with it once it was dead. I imagine having one wing ripped off contributed to the cause of death.
Today is the first day with the new bark collar... we will see if it was worth the $90.
