it's weekend time again.

[fiver]

nope this one ain't about the weekend but you can't put worlds dumbest bird in a headline and get any respect around here.
so after watching a few documentary's I have absolutely come to the conclusion that Penguins are the dumbest bird ever.

seriously,,, what other bird walks 200 miles to stand on a ice covered wind swept ridge with an egg on it's foot.
the ones that don't do that live on top of a volcano, a volcano with sides so steep and slippery they can't even walk up it to feed their babies.
then you got the idiot ones that try and nest inland from where seals rest on the shore, you know the same seals that like to eat penguins.
finally the ones that just have to nest on top of a rocky shoreline with tidal breakers, the penguins have to ride and try to jump out of, onto the sharp rocks without getting their face bashed into the rocks again by another wave which just washes them back out to sea again.
I won't even mention the ones that walk 3 miles into the jungle where everything in between the last 100' of water and their nest tries to eat them.

Cabin fever much?

I've never met a penguin, but have met plenty of domestic white ducks and turkeys and have long regarded them as the dumbest creatures on earth (no thanks to humans). We had a gobbler drown in a dishpan of water when I was a kid, and the ducks we would trip over because they were too dumb to get out of the way.

Agree with you fiver! And in zoos Penguins stink, I mean
they really stink!

I've had a couple of bosses who could not have boasted a much higher intellect than a penguin.

 

[fiver]

naww no cabin fever.
just,, well you know, stuff I think about sometimes.
it was either this or we could discuss stuff like do Doe's think that some Bucks are more Handsome than others?
is it all about antler size?
or more about who is leftover to knock down the hormone drive at the end of the day.
we have all seen how graceful and dainty a doe can appear trotting or skulking through the woods.

does she look like she wants this slobbering all over her back?

seriously...

 

[KHornet]

Good thinking fiver! Think he would have to sneek up on her!

That is one unique rack on that buck!

My brother shot a spike last year that had 12" cork screw antlers that were about 1-1/2" diameter at the base.
That one really needed to be removed from the gene pool!

Back to Penguins. You mean they don't just dance their way back to their breeding grounds like "Happy Feet"?
You've just crushed my illusion of Penquins. I may need therapy, now.

 

[fiver]

worse yet they don't sing either.
I know at least one of them will be capable of crying.......... if I come back as a penguin.

Not any crazier than some of the drunks I've witnessed. At least the penguins get to breed when they get there.

Truest words ever spoken! The stories I can tell...

 

[fiver]

seems to me we got a thread here for some of those story's.

I guess I can do a Puppy update.
she is 7 weeks old now.
has learned stairs, so the cat now hates her.
likes a wide variety of food types, so the cat and the other dog now hate her.
has discovered sticks come from tree's, so the apple tree hates her.
she discovered she can Bark, so everyone in the family can now enjoy getting up at the same time.
we went on our first trip to the big city and she handled that pretty well.
she figured out that if she sits on the cat it has to struggle to get away and that this cat doesn't have claws, so the cat hates her.
she also figured out that cat's don't have good traction on linoleum or hard wood floor so they are easily dragged by their tail across those surfaces.... I really think the cat is starting to not like the puppy.

 

[Rally Hess]

Sounds like a good puppy to me. That's why cats have long tails. Should sprinkle a little beef stock on the cats tail, so the pup gets more flavor the more it chews!!

 

[Kevin Stenberg]

We need more puppy/cat tails (pun intended)

 

[fiver]

I will do some updates from time to time.
mostly my mornings now consist of yelling no and stop that and come back here and oww that's my toe.

We had a poodle long, long ago that thought her name was "go to bed". She'd get into mischief, and get told to go to bed, and she'd jump up on the lap of whoever told her to go.

those are some good looking pups.

well bad dog time was later than usual tonight.
she got ahold of a little milk carton and went to town on the thing, then it was game on.
first she tipped over her toy basket and scattered them 5-6', then she pulled the cat off the couch chased it upstairs, jumped on the other dog when she come back down which started a fight, ran downstairs, stole a pair of socks from the wife down there and brought them upstairs and lost one of them in the process and ripped a hole in the other one, pulled the rug from the back door into the bathroom, tore up a half roll of toilet paper, stole one of the girls hair scrunchy things, then come running in the front room again, dumped all the water out of her bowl and promptly fell asleep.
all in about 7 minutes.
