The Unlikely Friendship Of A Dog And An Owl​

I wouldn't have believed that an owl and a dog could become best friends until I saw these surprising and adorable photos by Tanja Brandt, a professional animal photographer and collage artist in Germany. Ingo the shepherd dog and Poldi the little owl seem more than happy to cozy up to each other for photoshoots bathed in golden evening light.

I once knew a guy licensed by the state to rehabilitate hurt birds. He had owls and eagles and hawks and such, most of which were destined for zoos because they would never make again in the wild. Others he would have to train or at least encourage to fly again and even get their hunting instincts back before releasing them back to fend for themselves but that was actually quite rare. Birds are real fragile. Real interesting to go and hang out and help out.

BUT...he had a couple of purchased falcons and a couple of hawks that were trained to hunt birds. He'd hunt mainly pheasant and quail but also ducks. And he had a German Shorthair that hunted with the birds. He had the dog trained to point (damned near instinct in a good one) and to flush on command. The dog would go on point and the raptor would be paying attention. When all was right, he'd have the dog flush and the raptor would knock it out of the air. If the raptor held the bird on the ground, often so, the dog would just wait until the raptor had enough and then fetch the quarry. When the dog fetched, the hunting bird would come in for a landing and get a treat of meat (not from the fresh kill). The bird would hang out for a while and either he'd launch it or it would basically tell him it wanted to fly and off it would go for more hunting. Pretty cool to watch and be a part of. The dog would watch the bird and the bird would often sort of guide the dog to where it knew there were pheasant. He was probably the most skilled animal trainer I have ever met.

"Brains"... The same "brains" that caused them to squander $1.2 billion on failed advertising and go $20 million into debt, pay millions to celebrities like Beyonce to give free performances at their rallies only to have them ghost them, and create cringeworthy photoshops of "packed" DNC events only to be immediately caught or exposed for plagiarizing footage of other events... The day right before the election, Kamala Harris paid over $1 million to set up a podcast that had less than a few thousand viewers. Sure thing, libturds... 😂

"Civil War 2" will be the creditors and lenders going after DNC officials to get all their money back.

MAGA RECAP THURSDAY: REAGAN EDITION

JANUARY 24, 1985: President Ronald Reagan has been sworn in as the 40th US President for 3 days. Ninjas, Kung Fu masters, and bandanna wearing, camo clad warriors carrying M16A1s are gracing the movie screens. Schoolkids are bugging their parents at supermarkets to get them a new sensation that is taking over the country by storm: Squeezable jello tubes and Fruit Roll-Ups. Real life martial arts masters pack bustling dojos combining Eastern and Western combat theories to create a new and budding sport, MMA. Meanwhile at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a different group of warriors are preparing for the fight that will define humanity's next step in the universe, to conquer the lethal and harrowing conditions of space and prepare the world for a new chapter in space exploration. On the launchpad at Kennedy, NASA's capital flagship, the shuttle Discovery underwent final inspections and prepared to make one of multiple journeys that would define this era and establish the base comparison standard for all future reusable and pilotable orbital and interplanetary craft.
