Stupid, useless crows! Nasty birds. If you like them, I don't care. They awakened everyone within 500 yards each morning this weekend during our camping adventure to Beverly Beach. Two stupid crows CAW-CAW-ing back and forth at 15 minute intervals.
It was just enough time to get back to sleep and then they'd start in again. If I had a pellet gun I would have shot their tail feathers right off. I didn't want to kill them - just make them terrified to be within range of me FOREVER. I wanted the word to spread to all noisy animals.
This campground, unlike any other we've been to in Oregon, was overrun with dogs. Not just big, lazy family dogs nor little sweet lap dogs, but NOISY, untrained, singing hounds. These hounds went off all night, which set off the car alarms of the idiots who still use them. This set the children in nearby tents wailing. Then the parents yelling to get the children quiet and at the dog owners. Quite a snowball effect.
I have to admit the slight glee I felt at 5:30 a.m. when a particular beagle was HOWLING and HOWLING. After about 3 minutes I heard a distinct YELP as if a collar had been yanked as he was pulled inside. At that point we got back to sleep -- until 6:30 when the crows started in.
These are complete cooter idiots who bring their dogs with them. If they are not trained well-enough to be quiet, leave them home! I make sure our children are considerate of others. They don't poop on the beach, they don't howl, they don't start singing until at least 9 a.m. It's common courtesy.
There were more mounds of giant dog turds on the beach. I get the whole, "It's natural" thing -- but please BURY IT. Come on. It's not that hard - it's a beach. Sand is loose. Pigs.
