Funny (?) this happens when we're by ourselves..
Mizzy K-lo is my official mole killer-unfortunately, we're infested. The last time she dug one up, I was outside with her, nobody else home and naturally, she wouldn't drop that sucker for anything. Shake, drop, grab, shake, run, paw, etc. I had no idea if I ran into the house to get gloves if she'd decide to eat it, so I yelled "Squirrel!" and she dropped it for an instant, during which...gag gag, gag..I picked it up with the tips of my fingers. She must have scared it to death, it wasn't playing possum. I have a strong stomach but I won't describe what it looked/felt like. I scrubbed my hands with alcohol while I was spazzing out. yuk.
Cody once dived under one of our bushes and emerged with something in his mouth. It was so dark I couldn't see it, so I ran him around to the front porch so I could see in the light. No clue if he killed it or if it was already a goner, but all I can remember is entails dripping on my porch and me screaming on top of my lungs "Drop it!" (no dice) at 11p. I couldn't even see what kind of animal it was but he was loving it. My mom opens the front door after hearing me and Cody decides to try to bring it inside. Thank God for cheese because I think, after a pound of it, he drops the thing, but *barf, barf, barf* I had to clean it up.
The worse part, is that I kiss those faces without thinking. I had to restrain myself for days. I guess we can never take the wild dog out of them.
I'm glad Roxy is Ok now. Poor you. This stuff really skeeves me. Yuk and Ew.
