In recent emu (the bird) news: “Grandma recovering after emu accident,” from the Northwest Florida Daily News. Quite the odd story; here are the opening paragraphs:
LaReatha DeLoach’s biggest complaint Monday was not being able to play her Xbox because her arm hurt.
“She’s not your everyday grandma,” said Lacey DeLoach of her grandmother. “We told her she’s going to have to settle down and be a normal grandma for now.”
LaReatha suffered a pretty sizable gash on her right wrist after she and her grandchildren were herding the family’s pet emus onto a trailer for transport.
Because of an upcoming move, the family won’t be able to care for all the animals they once provided a home. Slowly they whittled away their menagerie of cows, turkeys, goats and horses and the emus were heading to their new home at the Alaqua Animal Refuge on Sunday.
By the way, the title of this post comes from one of the comments on the article page– I couldn’t resist.
