It wasn't the newspaper." "I've already eaten. By the way, the litterbox is clean."

I really like the idea! They did the same kind of thing during a spay/neuter clinic last year, and it was hugely successful.

OMG, those are too funny. I see they talked to MY dogs to get the slogans.

I hope it works. What a great idea.

Those aren't really crows. those are Magpies like Heckle & Jeckle who I hope inspired the Windex commericals where they ring the bell and close the patio door on the doofus and laugh.... and then I laugh!!!!!

I know Heckle and Jeckle....one of my favortie duos!! I love that commercial, too!

What is the difference between crows and magpies?

I haven't seen a heckle and Jeckle cartoon in ages.
But I did hear the song that the birds sing from Dumbo yesterday about seeing an elephant fly. I love that song. The movie makes me cry, but I like the song.

I think magpies are smaller, and have some white. You probably do have crows, although it could be Blackbirds. I have seen some crows that are bigger than Joey, close to Waldo size....

I think a Waldo size crow would scare the bejesus out of me.

Buzzards are big enough.

Is there something about the approach of springtime that causes all cats to act like total spazzes? Maybe it's just mine.

It's weird because we have huge crows by my work, but by my house we have nothing but seagulls. It's like they have lines drawn for territory!

It's been about a year since I've posted in this thread when I had to have my beloved Nikki put down. She was six weeks shy of being 13 years old, which I've heard is old for an Alaskan Malamute. Since then, I've gotten two new dogs...Maccabee who is a two year old male yellow lab and Mocha who is a three year old (almost 4 in March) female chocolate lab. I was going to post a picture to share them with you, but I've forgotten how to.

Oh, jette, I am so sorry to hear that.
