I posted this earlier in response to the thread regarding...

a chihuahua being attacked by an owl ( http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x232066 ).

I posted it as an attempt at humor, but the more i looked at it the more fascinated I became. Intent. Graceful. Deadly. Neither benign nor malicious, but certainly deadly. And yes, I took the day off and have been drinking.

Anyway, here it is:

3. Nature red in tooth and claw.

4. It's pretty obvious you're not talking about the dog.

I'd have either as a pet, though. However, chickens need a lot more love than dogs.

5. Wouldn't worry about the chihuahua - they kill wolves

when they get stuck in their throat.

7. My chickens would say the same. nt

6. I love owls...

but I have to tell you, I'm keeping a close eye on my Chihuahua. Here's hoping his winter parka would protect him.
