She barked the bark!

You may think the subject line is describing an episode involving either Quizzy or The Little White Rat (from here on out to be known as Pirannie ...get it .... like a piranha and Annie rolled up into one little Jack Russell with a big ol' attitude), but nope, the subject line actually describes an incident that happened yesterday with what the feeders call "The Grasshopper."

We've seen plenty of grasshoppers, but never one with an engine and 4 wheels... and obviously some very sharp blades! Oops!! The female feeder was 'hoppering when all of a sudden she looked like she was driving a bumper car at Camden Park... BAM!!! And let's just say that one of the little bushes (that has been growing for about 8 years now, so it's pretty good size.... oops!) out front now stands at about a 10 degree angle from the ground!

Well, the male feeder was not happy about this at all. We have never seen smoke come out of a human's ears before, but by golly, when he heard about the hit, he walked out to look at the damage, and we do believe we saw smoke roll from his ears! We were afraid he may actually spontaneously combust at any second, but whew!!! Thank goodness he is still with us this a.m.! And Mother Nature is providing some much needed rain this morning, so maybe that big gash on the bushy tree will heal!

Uh-oh, we just had a big thunder boomer explode up above and now the Evil One (Speck) is growing wings, feathers and a beak.... we had better go calm his fears, even though he snarls at us quite often. Our Daddy taught us to be nice to others no matter what! We can't wait to see him in only 10 more days!!!
