living room owl pics

16 years ago

Ok, these aren't great. He stuck around long enough for me to take batteries out of various devices to try to power up the camera. We're still wondering how he got in. We often have the doors in the back open this time of year, but we spend a lot of time in that part of the house and that part of the house has very low ceilings, so we would have noticed an owl fly by. Wondering if he might have come down the chimney, since we discovered him in the living room. Do they do that?

While we were trying to help the owl find the front door, the cat tried to bring a snake in the back door. When we diverted our attention to that issue, the yellow lab, who has always known where the front door was, decided to take a stroll around the neighborhood and had to be retrieved (he doesn't want to go anywhere, just wants to be pursued.)

This episode of my life brought to you by Mutual of Omaha.

It's so cute!
There's got to be a Sitcom in there somewhere. Tune in for "Wild in Miami". No that wouldn't work. People would think it's the Kardasions(sp)

It really was quite a wild afternoon. Isn't he adorable. He was only about eight inches long, which is apparently normal for them. And I loved how angry he looked _ like how dare you take a picture of me while I'm trying to figure out how to get out of your house?

Meanwhile, as much as the pets added to the problems, I don't think any of them noticed the rather big bird flying around the house. I guess all my pets are focused on lizards and mice and other floor-dwelling critters.

He does look pretty unhappy in that second pic doesn't he! While it's not good that he got into your house I think your lucky to have gotten such a good look at an owl. Usually owls are heard but not seen.

Your cat trying to bring a snake into the house brings back memories of when my oldest cat was young and constantly trying to present snakes to my mom who really doesn't like snakes.

Very funny about the other animals! Thanks for posting these photos, they are charming. I love owls and always try to see them at night when I hear them, but they are pretty hard to find.
