Two Young Owls

Here is a small painting (6"x9") built around the image of two owls in a hollow part of a tree. The tree is painted with loose, broad brush-strokes. Everything else in the painting is more finely executed. The dog seems to sense there is something in the tree. Is this cute scene about to erupt into a bloodbath as the domestic animal tries to attack the young owls? Or will they all get along and go off together to the factory (that's what's in the background) to tour the assembly line from a glassed in observation deck?
