Well sometimes Mephito,
It all depends. This year the snow hasn't melted much.. I'm sorry I didn't answer earlier, but I got caught up on another thread discussion..
When I get some time, maybe tomorrow, I will tell you how our dog, helped save a little bird that hit our back slider today.. "A Miracle Pet's" story..
Hell, I will tell you now. I was in another room this afternoon when I heard a little thump outdoors. I didn't think much about it because I can tell when birds hit some of our windows whether they get hurt or not. It WAS A VERY SMALL thump.. I save some birds that fly into our windows but not all, unfortunately when I hear them hit. But I try ALL that I think I can save.. :(
But anyway, Washo, our dog came into the room where I was moments later when I didn't go quickly to look to see what happened.
He led me to the back door where I could see a little junco bird, lay stunned on the snow and ice.. I went and picked him/her up and held it in both hands to warm him/her up.. I could tell he/she was alive by his/her eyes.. I went to the garage holding the little bird in my hands and got a card board box with a lid..
I put the little bird in the box so he/she could get their bearings. I put a weight on top so he'she couldn't fly into the house which would have been a problem, flying around against windows etc..
Anyway, in about 45 minutes, I heard some thumping from the box.. Sure enough, I took the box outside, opened the lid..
And what FLEW AWAY was a little junco into the high branches of a nearby tree... I felt so good, I started some minestrone soup while I was drinking wine.. :))
HERE'S TO WASHO!!!
