Owl Attack



-


This morning my little black doggie "Inu" and I were out walking in the Chihuahuan desert near El Paso, Texas.


-


Inu walked past what turned out to be a burrowing owl's house. He did not look inside or do anything to the hole. But apparently the resident did not welcome company on a Sunday morning.


-


The owl flew out of the hole, gained some altitude, then took a nice swooping dive towards Inu. His talons were less than six inches (15 cm) above Inu's back when he realized that it might be wise to not get involved with an animal of this size utilizing physical violence. So he employed the classical pilot's go-around maneuver of applying full power and doing everything possible to immediately gain altitude.


-


Inu gave the owl the same moves that Obama gave Hillary the other night. Just brushed the attack right off his back. Just no big deal at all!
