Somewhere to play.

Things happen ...

Sometimes things happen, in retrospect, the story was an incident which was foreseen, talked about, the people informed, was warned it could happen, then - it did happen.

This is the way of life, things are known to happen, red lights are put out, warning signs are placed, information is supplied, and the players are told to beware, 'things do happen'.

On Wednesday past, the 7th, the neighbor's dogs cornered the male ostrich and badly mauled him, mostly around the neck area.
This is a wild ostrich and treating the wounds was not possible.
Infection set in and the ostrich went to the happy hunting grounds, or where-ever it is ostriches go.

The passing of this ostrich is not in isolation, as he was brooding with his mate, who is alone now, and will not manage to brood alone
There will possibly be no chicks from this nest as the eggs already have gone cold.
Add to this, the perpetrators of this deed also went to doggie-heaven.
All because some one ignored the warning, 'do not allow the dogs to roam around free, things may happen', and it did happen.

Who let the dogs out ?
