Came home, and Ding was just wild. Well, thought I, the Martins are getting ready to make nests in the birdhouses near our window, she must just be excited about that...
Didn't pay all that much attention to her zipping back and forth, that's what she does... Until I realized she was not watching the window, but the woodstove...
And I heard, tap tap. Tap tap tap.
Ah, crap...
So, I quickly put Ding in the big carrier, much to her extreme disgust, grabbed one of my coats to use as a deterrent, Husband closed all the windows, the TV was turned off, and we opened the front door.
ZOOM!!!!!!!
The bird launched out, and I think was doing just short of Mach 1 by the time it got outside!
I then let Ding back out.
It is now 8 p.m. (ish) here, and she is STILL trying to figure out where her new "toy" went...
(On the bright side, there is no 'evidence' it left on the flight out the door. We have not been so lucky when this happened before....)
