Proud to be an American...

There's an owl brigade in England. Yikes.

I read about it on the BBC earlier--but don't tell Mom, because if she finds out I can read, she might send me to school. That's what she did to her daughters, they tell me.

From the BBC: "A footpath has been closed in Lancashire following repeated attacks on dog walkers by a pair of nesting eagle owls. The birds, who are raising their chicks at Dunsop Bridge in Bowland, have become particularly territorial. ...

Lancashire County Council closed the path after about half a dozen people reported the birds swooping down to attack them and their pets. ...

'There was someone walking a border collie along the path and the next thing the owl came gliding along straight into the side of the border collie and knocked the dog onto its side.' ...


In other news, another photo of me. Getting bigger, whiter, ever cuter.
