I've Seen It All Today!

This lunchtime, I went out to get something to eat and wander round a couple of shops.

In one of the charity shops I encountered another customer buying a book (I bought a jigsaw) ... he had his pet with him .... She was apparantly called Leya ... beautiful - 12" high ...

OWL!!!

Yes, I know people take their dogs for a walk to the shops - but who takes an owl?

She was stunning - just not what I was expecting to see on a rainy lunchtime ... and guess who didn't have their camera??

An owl? Unusual. When I was a kid, there was a man in my home town that had a lion for a pet. He would drive around with it on top of the cab of his pickup truck. He would stop at a grocery store to buy it a treat. He would throw it a whole chicken. The town finally told he couldn't drive around with it on the truck with only a chain as a leash to control it.

I always wanted a tiger as a pet when I was early teens - don't think London suburbs were ready for that though!

An owl! What kind of harness did he use? I thought owls were nocturnal. Was the bird sleepy?

How many pieces in your jigsaw puzzle?

This owl was just sitting on the mans gauntlet, with a strap visible - She was stunning, and wide awake - just not what I was expecting to see on a rainy lunchtime ... and guess who didn't have their camera??

It was only a 500 peice for Mum - a house and garden.

Hopefully, you can get a picture of that owl next time. It is so unusual [to me, at least]

Oh my...an owl? Now that's something you don't see every day. It's too bad you didn't take pics.

LOL! That's great.

When I was 6 I apparently used to take my goldfish "Glub" for a walk. In the bowl obviously. I would take him to the end of the street and back every morning before school so my sister claims *sigh* But I had extreme use as an excuse...

We had fish when I was at college, but were bad - we didn't take them for a walk ... do you think they would have appreciated Trafalger Square??

[jaded-jamie.livejournal.com]

Probably not a good idea to take a fish for a walk LOL

Good grief!! Was the owl in a cage??!??!?!

[debris4spike]

No, just on his gauntlet. She was stunning - just not what I was expecting to see on a rainy lunchtime ... and guess who didn't have their camera??

Yes - although the Wizards cloak was missing!
