There is a monster on our roof

 

Early Monday Morning, it was still dark, Mama took the broom out to sweep the leaves off the porch.

she said there was a monster coming to look at our tree.

She was outside for 87 years, and came in the house laughing and telling me that all 5 owls were in the tree. She said she stood like a statue and watched as 2 babies dropped out of the tree on the left and started pecking in the grass, one flew out of the same tree and sat in the other tree and STARED at Mama.

It was a Mama Owl, or maybe a daddy owl. 

she watched them and they watched her and she said they were making burbling noises, like a baby when it takes a bottle.

She did not go out to see the owls. We were waiting for Tommy, from Monster Tree Service to come tell us how many millions of dollars they would charge to cut down the tree.

The best part of the story is about ME. Tommy came, looked at the tree, told mama that tree is dead, we can't save any of it.

Mama said ON NO not even the green part? that shades the whole bedroom from the morning sun.

They came in the house, he squated down and hugged me and told me he has a German Shepherd that is really old and that they are going to get a Great Dane. I told him I am part dane, but I can't go with you.

He said some words that made my pawrentz sad, something about MONEY and mama gave him a deposit, not like my deposit, one that goes in the bank.

She can save her dollars because they can't come until the week after July 4th, and that depends on the weather. Something about can't use a chain saw in rain.

The story has a happy ending because he left for a while, came back and we went through the same thing where he squated and I sat on his feet and he hugged me while he talked.

I am An Affection Hound. My Mama says so

PS from mama she knows those are not screech owls but they were quick and easy to add

The sad thing is, all five owls were in that tree and she hopes their nest is not in there. But the man said they will be grown by the time he comes back.
