A Bird In the House Is Worth Two In The Bush

Yesterday, Sunday, the Old Guy was down painting the ceiling in one of the rental bedrooms. He heard a chirping, a little to close than it should be, and discovered that a bird had flown into the rental. Well, being Mr. Resourceful, he opened the sliding door and chased the bird around the rental until it flew out. So how many times does this happen in a life time, or even a day? How about twice.

When the Old Guy finished, he walked up to our house and as he stood outside the door he could see me, Chow and Pinot standing on the stairs inside looking up. The Old Guy came in and we didn't move. We kept staring. He looked around and couldn't find what we were looking at so he went in to get ready for the Galxy game. Derek came over and the Old Guy told him about the staring experience and showed where we were looking. We were staring at a painting next to the entry stairs. As they stood there they heard a rustling noise. The Old Guy pulled the painting away from the wall and could see a bird behind the painting. Chow and Pinot were put in a bedroom and the doors were closed. They opened the front door all the way. No way would I try to run out. I like it here too much. Anyway, the Old Guy, who obviously isn't very smart when it comes to birds, pulled the painting back and tried to shoo the bird with a broom. Well the bird flew up into the highest sky light and hid on the ledge. The Old Guy and Derek had to leave for the game so they decided to do the bird thing after they got back. They let Chow and Pinot out.

Big mistake. When they got back from the game they started to look for the bird. The first thing they found was a huge pile of feathers on the ground floor, scattered in a big circle. Then, upstairs they found drops of blood leading towards the downstairs and lots more feathers. They never found a body even though they looked all over the house, including the Old Guy's bed. Geeeezzzz. Body? What body? Anyway, no one was real hungry that night and it's a good thing because the Old Guy was majorly pissed off.
