[mou] Sax/zim dogs

[Steve Weston]

This corner has for years (at least 5 to 10 years) has been populated with large and aggressive dogs, although there are more now than I remember from past years.  They also are more aggressive, attempting to cut the car off, rather than just chasing it.  I have always found it to be an interesting place, but I wouldn't want to have to get out of my car.

  I had a run in with this lovely group of dogs earlier this winter.  Despite what this women says, even if they were dumped 2 years ago, they are her dogs now because she has been caring for them for the past 2 years. In Minnesota if you keep an animal for more then 5 days it belongs to you. You can tell they are well fed, none are skinny so she is feeding them. What makes my story good is not only is her pack of dogs a nuisance, her pig tries to chase the cars with the dogs every once in a while as well. It was in the middle of the road one time when I came around the corner. It proceeded to head butt my car and tried chewing off the bumper. Unfortunately the animal shelters are not going to be able to do anything because none of them contract with Meadowlands. They could take the animals for the county if the county seized them. Any complaints should be made with the St. Louis County Sheriff department. Its a sad situation for those dogs.

  Back to the birds, I was at S. Admiral today and the Boreal chickadees are still coming in. A sharptailed hawk also came by and tried to ambush the feeding site.
