This Could Only Happen In Kansas
|
This Could Only Happen In Kansas I meant to blog about this yesterday but got busy. Two nights ago my puppy woke me up whimpering to go out at 2:30AM. This is not an unusual occurrence. So, here I am wearing my slinky nightie (sans panties) walking her out to the backyard to do her business. It should be noted for those that aren't aware, the land directly behind my backyard is a protected wildlife/wooded area. As she's going, I can hear an owl hooting off in the distance. There is low light barely illuminating the yard from the side porch but I become increasingly aware of a rustling sound in the trees near where we are and suddenly the hooting sounds get increasingly louder. I begin walking my pup back to the house when suddenly, the owl swoops out of nowhere loudly hooting and coming within inches of my head as though it were stalking my pup as its prey. I grab the pup and take off in a full-on sprint racing to get into the house as fast as possible, my heart feeling as though it is about to explode right out of my chest. It seems this owl had an agenda and that agenda was to get my puppy. Absolutely terrifying experience. I had to face my fear once again last night. Thankfully when I took her out there was no sign of the owl that terrorized me the night before. I have to think, only something like this could happen in Kansas. Have you ever heard of such a thing?  |

My mom has a little piece of land here with lots of trees and plenty of woods around. Once, while staying there, I let her cats out in the morning and I hear an awful screaming kind of noise. I get on the back porch in time to see a fox chasing one of them back to the house. It turned the other way when I saw it, but damn, that was close. Smart as a horse and hung like Einstein.

Just before day break was laying in a field elk hunting. As I see about 7 elk coming across the field towards me and I ready my gun. A owl starts swooping at my head trying to grab my orange hat. I turned a around and batted at it with my arm. It left as the last elk walked into the bush and could not even take a shot.

I've heard of Coyotes taking off puppies, and large Hawk/Eagles doing the same thing around here. Aut viam inveniam aut faciam Tips for Guys to Meet Women  Things i miss most about relationships

Yes it is not that uncommon, there have been cases of eagles picking up lambs from pastures, a person needs to keep their eyes open and as more people move closer to nature, it is not all Bambi and Thumper. Ha ha have a great day and keep your pup safe. Anything worth doing is worth doing right

Locally I hear owls grabbing rabbits all the time, I can imagine a puppy would be easy to snatch too. So glad that didn't happen to you!!!!

Have you ever heard of such a thing? An ex I talk to lives in SoCal and has rescued rabbits. There is a hawk(s) that sits on a deck railing from time to time and watches the rabbits through the window. Around me there is a lot of open space and coyotes take pets often. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

I have never heard of owls being that aggressive. Thought all they did was hoot. I do know if you want to chase birds away you can put out fake owls...so if birds are afraid of owls.... Click Here To Read A Hot Erotic Story: When A Woman Meets A Stranger Part 1 of 4

Never heard of an owl doing snatching a dog but know they are predators. Scary for your pup. I can just imagine. Initially I thought an air rifle might be a good addition but scarecrow or similar deterrent might be worth looking into. Or you could keep pup on leash until he grows a bit more.

yes ma'am. owls are strong predators and can lift a good size animal. that's very scary and i'm so glad you were there to rescue your pup. shudders You cannot conceive the many without the one.

That must have been terrifying! I am glad your little friend is safe and sound . . . thanks to you. You are the hero of this story, Myelin, and I applaud you for keeping your cool.  My featured post this week: Pulling Fantasy Sex Out of My Ass.

It's a wild world we live in... sometimes we forget that. Owls will attack any critter that they see as food but will also attack people. You usually don't hear them as they fly very quietly. Vive La Difference

One of the things you can do is take an umbrella out with you to protect our head and it may help to light the area up well but that depends on how bold the owl is. They tend to be rather bold confident birds. Vive La Difference

All my life I lived in big cities, the backyards are in a sub division settings. So never had such situation. But one time at a zone an owl almost landed on head. (I was wearing a hat)

It is almost a daily occurrence for me. I too live next to a preserved land. We have deer, foxes, raccoons, musk rats and other critters in abundance. I have a pair of hawks that nest just 50 feet from my house. I have fruit trees in the backyard. Almost every day I see the hawks catch a squirrel or a rabbit. We also have huge turkey vultures, but they usually go for the road kill/ dead animals. With my daughters Maltese that I am taking care of while she stays on campus, I am very careful. In the past 4 years the hawks and an owl went for him 3 times, but our shepherd saved him each time. "Rules for happiness: something to do, someone to love, something to hope for.”― Immanuel Kant .

myelin36 replies on 10/1/2016 6:36 pm: I wonder how much effort it would take to get something like that moved. It seems pretty permanent with the concrete pavers and all. I will do some checking locally on dog runs. I am currently working on crate training. It has been somewhat of a disaster this far. It is very easy, just a few bolts. The kennel I posted is from Kansas. Ask the guy if he would deliver and set it up for you for that price. Dog people generally are helpful. Might even like the idea that it is going to a therapy dog. I have a huge kennel in my backyard with trex floor and roof. Crate training is critical. Otherwise as she grows up she will become possessive of you and become destructive. Makes it difficult for her to be a therapy dog if she gets jealous every time somebody hugs you or get close to you. Bullys are strong willed to begin with. Trex floor is better than any other, helps prevent arthritis. With a large kennel and wild life in the backyard, Roxy won't be bored, and will keep her from getting obese. Bullys are one of the most expensive breed to buy and maintain. Keeping her fit and healthy would save you thousands in vet Bills. You cannot treat Roxy like most people treat their pets. You have to have 100% self control and be Alpha at all times until she is fully trained. Find a local person like me who has trained a therapy dog. Preferably a dog that is certified to work with autistic/ADHD kids.(they are the toughest to train) Their experience will save you a lot of time, money and heartache. From little that you wrote, it seems to me that Roxy is training you rather than the other way around.  I feed my dogs exactly at 7am. When they were small, right after a meal, I would walk them on a leash in the back yard under a pine tree and when they poop, I tell them "good get busy" and gave them beef jerkey as a treat. Now I just open the door and tell the dogs to go "get busy". They will go under the pine tree and does their business in just 2 minutes and runs back into the house. Unlike most people I don't have grey spots in my backyard or walk the dogs to pee and poop. Training the dog changed my personality as well. You have to be consistent 100% of the time. Say what you mean and mean what you say consistently. It is an adventure, but well worth it. Good luck and have fun. If you have any specific questions you can email me and I would be happy to share what I know. This is a picture of my youngest kid in a snow storm having fun.

Don't mean to hijack your post. Please delete my messages after reading. Once the dog is trained, it will allow a child, another dog, strangers etc to pet them etc. Here is my little maltipoo (my daughters dog) resting on top of his head. The little one weighs less than 15lbs(can't even see his body hidden behind the head) and the big one is close to 150lbs. All happily watching T.V.

Well...not exactly like that, but I used to have Malemutes, and they weren't scared of ANYTHING. We had a mock orange bush in the yard, and the sparrows loved that thing. One day a red tailed hawk came diving in to grab a sparrow meal, and my bitch Emmy leapt up to grab the hawk. They both were caught by surprise and both missed their prey. I was glad Emmy didn't catch that hawk- she might have won the bout, but I'm pretty sure there'd have been stitches to show for it, and maybe worse. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

myelin36 replies on 10/1/2016 4:51 pm: I am fortunate that hawks aren't naturally prevalent here in my area. I got curious and searched. KS has quite a few species of hawks and related raptors. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Glad you could get your pup to safety

myelin36 replies on 10/1/2016 4:46 pm: I am working on getting some flood lights installed and taking precautions to prevent further problems with the owl. I noticed the flood light thing as I read your response. Many raptors are daytime flyers so flood lights won't matter to them and I don't really think owls will be deterred either (or much). You being with/close your puppy would be more of a problem for them. As we often see on this site "size matters". That is especially true for birds. Once the puppy gets bigger it will be harder to fight and fly with. Just my 411 from what I know of birds etc. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
