The poor girl does look somewhat better right-side up, really, but I can't find a source that lets me embed the image.

Re: Polar bears

Not sure if I ever mentioned it, but I saw a polar bear at work once. It walked by the back of our box van, about 30 feet away. Sort of an uncomfortable moment. They look much different when they're not in the zoo behind three enormous fences.

Yesterday my dog somehow chased a squirrel into the house.  This wasn't immediately obvious because she's not much of a barker.  She just ran back and forth through the house making her 'worried' noise once the squirrel had hidden in my daughter's dresser out of reach.  My wife eventually twigged to something weird being up, and sent me into the room to see "if any sort of wild animal" was in there. 

I was watching the Niners attempting to lose to Denver, so it was with great annoyance that I went in there expecting to find a spider, or perhaps a cranefly.  Immediately after entering the room I smelled "wild mammal" funk however and with knocking heart scouted around until I saw a grizzled gray and orange rump crammed into a crevice behind the dresser.  I extracted it with gardening gloves and a heavy towel (those suckers can bite).  I carried it back towards the outside swaddled in the towel with only its head poking out. 

My wife almost flipped out when she saw it (I'm pretty sure she thought the commotion was bogus as well), but then decided it looked really cute all peacefully huddled in its towel (it did).  I almost spoiled everything by breaking into Ray Stevens' Mississippi Squirrel Revival song, which alarmed the squirrel all over again and required me regaining control of it.  I cut the nature lesson for the kids short and hurried outside to put it in a tree where it headed for high branches - not too much worse for wear.

Combined with the kill she managed a few years ago, my dog now qualifies for the "mighty hunter" appellation.  I'll see about adding that to her pedigree.

Dude got a $20k fine.  Now what's he gonna do when the bears come around looking to be fed.  I think his yard is going to be a very unsafe place for a good while.

That blog is awesome. It reminds me of Animals by Talking Heads. The video is entirely thread appropriate, but is mostly dumb, though a couple of the photos are keepers.

Maybe he better keep feeding and start saving up for the next fine.

Heh...

I just happened to acquire yesterday a solution that should work just dandy for Yogi and other large raiding aminals.



(It'd prolly be a little harsh on puggs)

I'm assuming they just mean the control box is for indoor installation only. Otherwise, man, what's up with those crazy kids of yours?

Nabu's right, just the control box needs to go under cover, but I've got an overhang already built so that's cool.

I'm going to run it on the top rail of the hoss arena so they'll stop leaning on the fences. I'm tired of replacing the rails.

Now I have an interesting choice...I don't really want to test up to an amp of 120/60 myself and I'm pretty sure I can't trick the older boy into it, but the youngest...

NO. Mamma would kill my ass unless it knocked the capability of speech out of him. I'll just turn a hoss loose with a treat on the top rail to test things.

Buy a live chicken.  You can test the fence and cook dinner at the same time.
