DEAD ANIMAL COLLECTION

Well, I know I have been MIA for several days, but we have all been sick. Joey is well, but Mom, me and Charleigh-Anne are still suffering from the lingering effects of the cold.

I stepped out the door on Monday morning to a dead baby bird, left by one of the cats I suppose to "impress" us. Then, as I am leaving the driveway, there is a dead coon. After returning from Physical Therapy, the coon had been pulled up the road some, by the turkey buzzards, but as soon as the dogs saw me and the turkey buzzard on the coon, they chased it away and dragged it BACK to the yard, at the end of the drive-way. Finally, Joey and Evan took care of the raccoon, after they got back from school. (Evan stayed w/us from Saturday until Tuesday evening, although they had school on Monday, they were off Tuesday for Election Day)

THEN, on Wednesday, as I was leaving for P/T, they had a chipmunk in the garage they were chasing. As Emmy and Bonnie are scurrying around, trying to find it, Badger trotted out with it. They were still looking for it when I left. LOL Guess he was the smart one this time.

Don't get the idea that I am obsessed with dead animals . . . there is just nothing else going on here at this time. (see previous dead animal posts) LMAO
