There's nothing floating and nothing on the bottom so that may be cannibalism.
I'm the most lethal petsitter ever..... 
(Please know I'm not complaining about these things. I do get freaked out but I'm mostly laughing at the absurdity of the situation. My BIL told me before they left that she doesn't really hunt anymore. So far we've had one bird, 2 mice, a mole and a mystery rodent. I think my BIL lies . )
I hope to get to sleep soon without being awakened by thunderstorms. My mom said there was a risk south of a road I'm just barely south of so we'll see. For now the only noise is fireworks. Which I wish I'd bothered to go watch outside. I didn't realize it was a whole display until it was mostly over. I don't know how the dog would have responded if left alone with the booms though; she tolerates them but doesn't love them.
I tried to convince the cat no more presents. Since she made it 3 hours I'm guessing out deal is off.
Going home is coming soon. 3.5 days. 3 nights. |
I probably laughed more than I should have at the "lethal petsitter" bit!
Weirdly enough, that cat reminds me of the black lab I had as a child. I grew up on a relatively large farm (40 acres) where the neighbors were nearly a mile away on each side. Plenty of space to explore. Anyhow, this dog made it her mission to protect the house from ANY wildlife that wasn't our barn cats. Labrador retrievers being hunting dogs, I found a fair share of surprises over a fair share of mornings. Good dog. Sweet dog. But boy did she live up to her breed's reputation!
