She'd fix their wings, feet, etc. and let them recover in a large cage. Eventually she'd release them. When she died there was a pigeon and a robin that could not be released and hat become caged birds. I don't remember what became of them.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733427454505364336.post-81946702946188604922012-01-08T10:23:07.692-06:002012-01-08T10:23:07.692-06:00Great story!

The Pica (relative of the woodchuck) become so tame in the mountains of Colorado that they are somewhat of a nuisance to hikers. If you take off your pack, they will untie it and steal your lunch in a matter of seconds.Liz Strattonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14355785887810653358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733427454505364336.post-73302629719267859952012-01-07T19:17:52.541-06:002012-01-07T19:17:52.541-06:00I think I might be more like Teofel than your gran...I think I might be more like Teofel than your grandmother as far as spending time with the dogs. I think it would have been fun to live with your grandfather, with possibilities for so many tamed wild animals around. I love old photos with dogs who are often so much a part of families and yet so often excluded. Some grandmother! My own mother was much like her - no animals in her clean house (except my father insisted on one boxer while I was growing up). Thanks for sharing the photos and stories, Pat.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733427454505364336.post-26579467664697733172012-01-07T16:13:25.308-06:002012-01-07T16:13:25.308-06:00My Dad was far more animal-friendly than mum.
