RE: Wednesday walk and the last chance birdies
I've got the perfect cure for your doglessness! They make these little dog leashes that hold their shape, so it loks like you're walking an invisible dog. You could really mess with people :-)
I wonder what those ducks eat. THey like to poke and gulp the pond scum around here, too. Maybe it's insect larvae or something. It's funny when they go under and all you see is their ass end sticking out of the water.
Those Canada geese stick around all year in my hometown of Rochester, MN. There is a power plant that keeps the water warm-ish and thawed in a spot, and they use it as a permanent winter oasis.
Haha ,that would be funny. That would be my sorta thing to do just to mess with everyone, I shall call my pup Ghosty. If I had an acreage I would have a dog but I'm also allergic to them. I want a pack of wolf dogs or sled dogs would be cool too but those need a lot of outdoor exercise and not suitable for city living. We do have a wolf sanctuary in the province for me to learn about upkeep of the special breeds when I'm ready.
When the ducks stick their butts in the air, I think they are eating plants that grow in the water and fish, yes it's funny as well, I have a few pictures like that. I suppose as long as it doesn't get too cold and they have an open food source they stick around. I have seen the geese as late as november when we get a mild fall. We didn't get any snow yet so we still see them flying north for now. The fish is also bigger near power plants. I think the water flow oxygenates the water, that also helps for more fish population. We have a good deal of pelicans near our plants for that reason.
