Tabbies: A warning due to content...view at own risk...LOL!
A while ago when petcretary was looking out the windows at work, she saw some Sandhill Cranes strutting about the yard outside. One of them was picking up a large stick and tossing it up in the air...and he/she did that over and over again. It was like it was attacking the stick...maybe it thought it was a snake! Or it was practicing for future encounters with real ones. No-one would want to be the recipient of pecks from that dagggerlike beak!

Cranes seem to know/want to photobomb, too...LOL!

Last Thursday night on her way home form work, petcretary and her van had a close encounter with a little sedan, filled with 5 teens...kaboom...Oh S***T! The driver had the left turn signal on, and instead he turned right in front of petcretary who was going straight. well she just was not able to steer out of the way or stop, so the two vehicles kissed each other with sad results...
So now her van is in the 'car hospital' awaiting 'surgery' to repair it...and she has a little electric SUV in the meantime. At least she and none of the teens were injured other than our pride and ride(s)...
I guess by now you want to see us pooches who now think we need to bark at that strange car in the driveway! BOL!

This was such a cute picture, with a terrible background, so *she* turned it to B&W and put a vignette on it...

Taken with 'portrait' mode, which rendered the focal point only on Dalton's face...taken in natural light during dark o'clock hours...

Ugh, your poor van! My human says her next car will be electric, actually! Although she has no plans to replace her current Mini yet.
ReplyDeleteNice selfie! Sorry about the accident. Teenagers cannot be trusted!
ReplyDeleteWoofs,
Ollie
Lovely selfie!
ReplyDeleteGlad that it was only the car that was damaged and not Petcretary!
Poor little car ~ lucky humans all! Sweet photos today of the pups, nice lighting techniques!
ReplyDeleteawesome pic of the sand hill crane, I would have enjoyed watching the fake snake attack. love both photos of the two of you and she did good on the taking of them.
ReplyDeleteso sorry about the kiss of death on the car...OUCH
ReplyDeleteThose are great selfies. How great to see those cranes so close up but not fun for Petcretary to come too close to another car. We have our paws crossed that peace can come to Ukraine soon.
ReplyDeleteOh no, we're so sorry about the car incident, but are thrilled mew're ok! Supurr selfies guys, mew always look epic!
ReplyDeleteFender benders happen, but I hope the other drive got a ticket!
ReplyDeleteSorry to see the damage to the car, but glad Petcretary wasn't hurt. Lovely photos of the cranes, and both of you too
ReplyDeleteVery glad to hear it was only cars that get dented.
ReplyDeleteSandhill cranes--how exotic and beautiful.
xoxo, Bibi & Meep
Yikes, that's a pretty big ouchie on the van. We get those cool birdies here too.
ReplyDeleteThat's a big OUCH. I hope their insurance pays up for it STAT!
ReplyDeleteWow, I’ve never seen a crane like that before. And I’m sorry about petcretary’s vehicle. At least no one was physically hurt. Cute selfies this week! ~Ernie
ReplyDeleteThere is no worse luck in the world than being in the vicinity of five teens in a car.
ReplyDeletefor certain!
DeleteNobby thinks the pictures of both pups are splendid. Gail thinks ALL teenagers should be banned from driving cars. We both would steer well clear of a bird with that sharp a beak..

ReplyDeleteSo sorry about the accident but glad no one was hurt (other than Petcretary's van). Love the selfies! That portrait mode can be tricky-you've handled it very well!
ReplyDeleteLulu: "Ooh, that happened to our Dada once! Somebody was in the left lane signaling to turn left and Dada was next to them, and when the light turned green instead of turning left the person went straight, sideswiped Dada's car, and kept on going! Fortunately Dada got the person's plate number and the insurance company tracked them down and made them pay to fix Dada's car ..."
ReplyDeleteOne of my Brovvers goes to where they gather after they migrate, right here in TN., and takes photos of them. There are Whooping Cranes too.
ReplyDeleteMom said she is so sorry that happened to Petcretary's van! MY mom had a similar thing happen through no fault of hers. But the person who hit her new car!! was decent, and cooperated.
You two look wonderful! Keeo that SUV udercontrol with splendid barking! Your mom appreciates that protection.
Sorry we're so behind on reading our friends' blogs. Been working too much. Wow! I can't imagine gigantic birdies like that coming anywhere near our house! We did see a lot of great big turkey vultures fly over the other day. There must have been two dozen of them! Sorry to hear about the fender-bender. Thankfully no one was hurt.
ReplyDeleteWow, that was a big kiss her car got ! I love the cranes they look so elegant ! and your portraits are very nice too !
ReplyDeleteDose are sum big birdies! We hab sumefing like dat around our house, mommy calls blue herons. But she can't evfur get close enuff to take such good piccies. Sorry about de wrinkle in Petcretary's car!
ReplyDeletethank goodness you are ok!!! Hoping the kids had insurance! Those cranes are HUGE!!
ReplyDeleteThose cranes are gorgeous but hope they don’t use their weapons! That car crash must have been scary. I’m so glad everyone is okay. Hopefully a wake-up call for those teens!
