Dr. Powells' latest patient over at Zoo Atlanta is a beautiful
EAGLE OWL named "Quincy".
What beautiful eyes you have! "Quincy" had a routine eye exam, with
everything checking out normal.
EARS - Used in conjunction with loose
skin between eyes and on forehead to express feelings especially
useful when in scrounging mode!!
MOUTH- Loose and flabby, tends to leak profusely especially
after drink or when in the vicinity of chocolate or other goodies.
TAIL- Short and stumpy can sound like a military tattoo
when rapidly thumped against floor at the mention of a walk.
HEAD- Broad and extremely hard, doubly so when in sudden
contact with your chin during enthusiastic greeting or during play.
EYES- big and brown with built in twinkle, can look sad
but this only a trick to get his own way or to avoid punishment after misdemeanor!!!!
CHEST- broad and muscular, usually stuck out proudly when
being praised for good behavior.
Note: Boxers make excellent pet dogs for fairly athletic
families who are willing to spend plenty of time out of doors,
walking and playing. He hates to be left behind on family
outings.
