Not really sporting, I know, but...early bird, and all that...
Good Morning HH, It's FRIDAY.
That is a great set of poop pics. The 'fire tornado' very seriously cool picture.
Otters were reintroduced here in MO a number of years ago and have rapidly multiplied. Really neat to see them along the streams in the Ozarks. Having them on your doorstep, awesome.

The Eragon movie trailer is finally out! Yippee!
Mornin', Ruthy!
What's Eragon about?

Here is a weird story:
"Woman Punches "Aggressive" Otter as it Attacks Dog"
by Underwatertimes.com News Service
"Boca Raton, Florida (Aug 4, 2006 18:09 EST) A woman said she was walking her two dogs near the water when an aggressive otter attacked one of her dogs, yanking it into the water.
Leah Vanon of west Boca Raton, said she was walking her Labrador retriever and her fox terrier, when she saw four otters in the water. She and the dogs kept going, but one of the otters climbed out of the water and grabbed the lab. When the otter pulled the dog into the water, Vanon jumped in after it.
Vanon said the terrier then jumped into the water and the otter went after the small dog. Vanon said she started punching the otter and didn't stop until it let go of the dog.
The dogs were not seriously injured. There was no immediate explanation for why the otter was behaving so aggressively.
Florida otters are typically 3 to 4 feet long and can weigh up to 25 pounds.
In 2001, an otter in New Port Richey, Fla., dragged a 5-year-old dog into a lake and killed it. There was also no explanation for that attack.
Otters normally live on a diet of shellfish and fish and are nonagressive."
What's not to like? :-D
More here.
Happy birthday Becky!
Thanks, 2J. :-D
"Dirka dirka, mohammed jihad!"
But did you laugh?
BTW, the beginning should not be seen by anyone either... I hope you can catch it sometime :~)
Interesting, I don't think the ~reason~ for the attack is all that mysterious... They're wild animals, dogs went after them and they chose the first of the 'fight or flight' options!
Tough lady :~) Tougher than her labrador :~)
Good morning!
Happy Birthday Becky!!!
That's one cool cake!
Can you eat the horses?
Good morning!
Tell Becky "Happy Birthday" from us!
The almost look like marzipan or something.
(I didn't notice there was a name on there, let's pretend it's the ponies' name)
I most certainly will. :-D
Doesn't look like a pronouncible name! Is the first character really an X?
The pony should get a name one of these days...
