Good Dog!

Press Release from the Lake Oswego Police Department
On May 20, during the very early morning hours (about 1 a.m.), Lake Oswego Police responded to a reported barking dog in a residential neighborhood.
According to the caller, the dog had been barking incessantly for about an hour.
The responding officer, Sgt. John Brent was confronted in the middle of the street by a very small but ferociously barking dachshund, named Annie, who would not allow his police car to pass.
The Sergeant (in charge of the LOPD Canine Unit) exited his patrol car and tried for some time, unsuccessfully, to capture the dog or otherwise quiet the disturbance.
After some time, a faint call for help was heard by Sgt. Brent and Annie's owner, Pamela Fischer, was found in a nearby yard where she had fallen.
Ms. Fischer, who does have some physical limitations, had fallen, hit her head and been unable to get back to her feet. Medical personnel were summoned and the appropriate aid given.
Ms. Pamela Fischer is now fine and we are most thankful for Annie's efforts. Pamela Fischer authorized the release of her name and this information as she is quite proud of Annie. (Source: www.katu.com)

The Queen
Another night and another bug.
This time Honey...Queen Manx, rose from her sweater bed to inspect the spider crawling up the wall. She knocked it down, pushed it around with her nose and then let me scoop it up with the empty salsa jar (now known officially as the "critter gitter") and set it free out the back door.
Miss Natalie just enjoyed the show. She said spiders are "too spicy".

Good Kitty!
All hail Miss Natalie...she cornered an ear wig in the living room...then I scooped up the wiggly thing in an empty salsa jar and liberated his little pincher butt outside. Natalie still stands on guard. As a side note...Honey the Queen Manx...just watched the scene, too cozy on her sweater bed to be bothered.

Cockatoo
(picture source: Wikipedia)
Cockatoos are crested birds from rainforests, dry regions, and fields of Indonesia and Australia. There are many different species of cockatoos. Cockatoos are long-lived birds. Many species of cockatoo are endangered because of loss of habitat, being shot as agricultural pests, and the sale of the young as pets.
The cockatoo averages about 12-15 inches long. These birds range in color from white, pink, yellow, gray, and black; they all have a large, feathery head crest, and a curved bill. Males sometimes have darker feathers or eyes than females; otherwise, males and females are hard to distinguish.
There are only a few eggs in each clutch (a set of eggs laid in one nesting period). The eggs are laid in a hollow tree cavity. Both parents incubate the eggs for close to a month and both parents feed the chicks.
Cockatoos eat seeds of grasses, berries and nuts. (source: www.enchantedlearning.com)

A kiwi is any of the species of flightless birds endemic to New Zealand. At around the size of a domestic chicken, kiwi are by far the smallest living ratites (diverse group of large, flightless birds, e.g., emu). All kiwi species are endangered. The kiwi is also a national symbol of New Zealand. (source: Wikipedia)
