Member # 19938 December 18, 200912:36PM I feel bad for the folks who lost a dog to an owl. We had a bald eagle kill a cat, and it aint a funny scene.
The birds have to eat too, but I feel for the pets.

Did I miss something or did this get posted in the wrong thread?
God bless,Mudd

Hey Mudd, it ain't the wrong thread, you just missed that paragraph or something where I told everyone about a friend of mine let their toy poodle out one night under the light of a full moon. While sitting there drinking a cold one, he and his wife were shocked when a huge owl (probably a Great Horned Owl) swooped down and flew off with their dog. It was screaming and yelping in the night sky as the owl flew off into the woods. One last yelp from the top of a tree a ways off let them know the owl had killed it. It was sad. The woman was broken hearted to say the least.

That's OK Mudd, I confuse myself sometimes.

I owe an apology to boznarras. I'm truly sorry. Freebooter is correct I missed that part of his message.
That clearly reflects the fact that I am way too self centered. I try to remind myself every day that everything isn't about me. My wife agrees.

I'll do better.. most of the time.
God bless,Mudd

Mudd, don't be too hard on yourself, no apology needed. I always enjoy your posts and your obviously healthy sense of humor. Tell your wife I said so.
I got to thinking about that cat. It was a male cat that had a hard life. He was given to us by a fisherman friend who came to go moose hunting, and had named it Crab Bait.
He was missing half his tail because an otter bit it off. He was so covered with grease and oil we thought it was a gray cat until we washed him and found out he was white.
The cat had lived in the engine compartment of the troller, because it was warm there, but the noise had made him pretty deaf. This probably helped the eagle fly down undetected on Crab Bait's blindside as he sat on our bedroom deck railing. The eagle did not carry him off, but the impact with talons killed him instantly.
I buried him in the ground on our property, despite what his name was.

That's respectful of you Boznarras!
To many pets have to hard a life, as many good people do as well!

Freebooter, some of the people at my archery club practice with Norse swords, spears, polearms and shields.

I can try to get a picture uploaded some time, if y'all like.

Hey Sveind,
Yep, I do love edged weapons. I have practice a little bit with my Viking swords, katana, etc.., mainly just playing around. But as a former Civil War reenactor I learned the sabre drill from Cooke's Cavalry Tactics and got into the habbit of practicing with a cavalry saber off and on over the years my self. If I had to actually fight someone, I would choose the Cav sabre.
Later,

Believe me folks, Mudd has been seen in worse outfits. There was this time at MOJAM when he got all wet from the fire truck.....

I still have nightmares.

Hey Mudd! Just funnin' with ya buddy!

I can see if a man had any insecurity about himself
he could have been slightly damaged at such an awesome sight.
It was as I best remember a good way to cool off but so very wrong on so many different levels. A wet white shirt and a Breech clout doesn't make for a very pretty picture iffen it's me wearing them....lol
God bless,Mudd
