eating crow

Ist photo shows me getting fit for the ride. I have twice daily workouts. You`ll notice the blue tinge to my tongue. This is because I normally yap while running which doesn`t allow much air to get into my bloodstream. I am also proud to be completely disobedient at all times.

Next picture shows me with a LEONTICE. (Leontice leontopetalum)

The fact that these are coming out in our garden is a sure sign of Spring.

We should be on the road ...

Photo shows rooks waiting to attack me for eating a dead crow.

Apparently we are waiting for the lorry. This means we haven`t got much to do except get stressed out. Penny is very unreasonable at the moment. For example, when I started to piss on all the carpets and she had to wash all of them - why did I start pissing on the carpets? Excited about the trip I guess- she got bad tempered.
So I mostly stay in the garden. About 2 weeks ago a crow died in the garden. I may, or may not, have been implicated in its death. Anyway all the rooks, crows and magpies in the area gathered and made a frightful racket and also dive bombed me.

I met a young crow on my first ride. It dropped out of a tree and sat on the ground near our camp. It was dehydrated and Penny gave it water. Then it became very aggressive and hopped at me whenever I went near it- I was only looking-and it was scarey. But it had nothing on these mobs of corvines. They made such a noise that Penny came out to see what was going on. I sat by the corpse, and growled when she came near. It was MY dead bird, and I intended to keep it. But as soon as she left the birds came back and drove me off.

Two weeks later... I happened to smell something delicious.. yes it was the dead crow which I`d forgotten all about. I thought I`d better roll in it and then eat it. But the crows and magpies were guarding it -after all this time. Penny heard them making a racket and saw that there were loads of them sitting in the trees around the body. I had made off with a wing by now and was hiding with it in the bushes.

But interesting that crows guard dead ones of themselves. For two weeks. Its enough to make you piss on the carpet. I think I`ll go and do that now.
