E Collision etal – re “perfect poo position!” No, no, no – it’s, “How humiliating…they told me it would be a ‘formal dress’ party”…

zenamarie, no flame, I think you had a good observation. And the story show that nature is nature, doesn’t always behave in the ways we think are moral. Too bad for the little quail, but the dog was being a dog and I kind of had to laugh a bit at the “got any more?” look I could visualize on his face. His Peeps just aren’t the marshamallow kind.

Common sense caption:
(Dog is thinking) “Hmmmm which one can I chomp before my dumb human catches on?”

The photo reminds me of when I went to a “game bird” farm to buy a pair of baby quail because I think quail are so cute and I wanted one, and another to keep it coimpnay while I was at work.
Farm person leads me to a big barn where they had the incubators. “There should be some hatching right now”.
I followed him into teh barn and an adorable dog came along with us. The dog gazed up at the incubator — which had these sort of shelves with baby quail eggs and hatchlings. I thought “How sweet, a loving mamma dog”, then the man slide a shelf out so that I coudl see the newly hatched babies, and as I watched, melted by the cuteness of fuzzy babies bopping around excitedly, one errant babe leaped off the side of the tray and the dog snapped quickly — *crunch crunch crunch* — and looked up again, expectantly.
I was aghast, and looked at the man, with all the shock and horror showing, I’m sure, in my eyes and hanging-open mouth. He shrugged and said “We have more than we can sell anyway?”

Dogs are dogs and cross species friendships usually onlywork when its predator-predator (like dog-grown cat), or prey-prey… but predator-prey usually ends up with some form of sadness.

I know I’ll get flamed for this, because this site is, after all, about a cute fix, not reality, but I’m one of the people who like to inject a little balance, once in a while.

The dog and the chicks are all adorable — I truly hope everything stayed/stays safe and happy!!!

HES GONNA EAT THE DUCKS!!!

oh god, this site is the best therapy. Aubrey, you made me snort out loud!

And penguin chick isn’t pooping i don’t think, he’s balancing people! “weeeey, wooooh” can’t you just see him tipping forward and then back and then forward until he falls flat on his fuzzy little neb?

I *need* penguin-chick. (And yes, he looks like he’s in perfect poo position!)

I stare because… DAY-uhm.

I dare because I care.

yay. now I don’t feel so bad. thanks, Aubrey.

Thinkie – I HAVE no excuse:

“But the dog’s never had such a task before
As soon as he gets one, the rest run for the door
After he’s reconciled with his defeat
They all return to taunt him: PEEP PEEP PEEP!”
