My Lena does the same thing. She will take one of our shoes with her, or bring to us for praise. She never chews them. View attachment 103358

Here, she is bringing us a deer antler.

Oh wow. I once got a dog from the local animal shelter, a beautiful chocolate griffen or german wire-hair.
He reminded me of my previous dog who was also a griffen but taller and lighter, with some greyhound Wabun (name), that ran away and neighbor may have shot (at one time a lot of dogs in the area had greyhound in them because people bet on dog tracks.
Now they have a lot of pit bull.
So I had my heart set on him.
Well when i visited the shelter a second time he got loose and ran.
But I caught him and said I'd take him anyway. Wabun was a good dog. He always knew what I wanted and wanted to please.
But if he was tied up or cooped up all day and I got distracted or took my he'd really run off and then come back in an hour.
You'd think I'd learn.
Well after a week he did get loose. He'd let me get 10 feet away and then run, like a game.
It was 20 degrees farenhiet and lots of snow.
I dragged a deer to him through the snow for food.
And he ate it.
I wondered where he was going so I tracked him.
Answer: all over the place and some distances too.
There was one place where there a horse and his footprints were all over.
He was sleeping with the horse (they were both lonely and became friends) for warmth and the neighbor and I trapped him.
Well I took him back to the animal shelter because I wasn't ready to have a dog like that and someone might shoot him.
My dogs now just stay within the 5 acres and they guard and protect.
 
Believe it or non these two little chicks are the same age. The little feathery-footed one looks like he might have gotten pecked on the back of the head and it's slowing his development. But he's getting there and I'm anxious to see him grow. And then he'll rejoin the flock. Otherwise I'll have to put him in a cage.
"Folks, what we have here is not a tweety bird, but a tweety chicken!" Developing slowly, isn't necessarily a bad thing because it allows the organs to grow.
In commerial cornish x-cross the growth is fast, the bird grows big, but their organs are severely underdeveloped. It's a cruel thing.

The oldest known wild bird in the world has laid an egg at the ripe age of about 74, her first in four years, US wildlife officials said.

The long-winged seabird named Wisdom, a Laysan albatross, returned to Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge at the northwestern edge of the Hawaiian Archipelago and laid what experts estimate may be her 60th egg, the Pacific Region of the US Fish & Wildlife Service said in a Facebook post this week.

Wisdom and her mate, Akeakamai (means seeker of Wisdom), had returned to the atoll in the Pacific Ocean to lay and hatch eggs since 2006.

Laysan albatrosses mate for life and lay one egg per year. But Akeakamai has not been seen for several years and Wisdom began interacting with another male when she returned last week, officials said.
