Found in the park

[urbpan]

I saw this from a distance, and I could tell it was an animal (I thought it was a tall bird or something) but I was confused. When we got close enough for the dogs to see it, they were REALLY alarmed!



There's a video of Maggie investigating it, trapped in my camera (have to wait for Alexis to return with the laptop to share it with you all).

There are two of these artificial coyotes in the park (on the "island" for Alexis' and Alex' benefit) and they seem to be working, keeping the geese away. (How about that sun-scorched grass, by the way?)

Jeez, any dog would be alarmed if they saw one of their cousins impaled on a stake with its paws cut off. You're lucky they didn't pass out.

omg that is so awesome! i hope they put them up everywhere else the geese seem to be a nuisance (memorial drive by the BU bridge, route 2 entrance in alewife, etc.)

maybe you should borrow one of those to put right outside your living room window so when maggie goes to bark she finds herself a frightening little surprise.

It was kind of like when they encountered the turtle--they were desperately curious, but also frightened.

HAHA OMG if Kairi saw that, she would have charged it and freaked out SO BAD...hahaha...especially since it looks like it's ready to pounce...does it do a good job keeping the geese away?
