Death in the Morning

My morning was off to a great start!  I slept in a bit, played Canasta with my Mom and got to eat some yummy cereal.  Then while sunbathing in the backyard under the gazebo, I discovered my dogs' new play-toy.  It would've been really cool if they hadn't mangled the head of course.  I don't know if you can see it in the picture, but the head isn't where its supposed to be.  I tried moving it so no one would get grossed out.  When I first discovered the poor thing it was when they were fighting over it.  Storm had it in his mouth, so its a bit soaked with slobber.  Thankfully I got to the poor bird before they really ripped it apart.  I didn't want to have to pick up pieces of bird all across the yard.
Unfortunately, this isn't the only thing that the dogs have discovered.  We've found mice, snakes, other birds; babies and adults, and other stuff too.  Fortunately, they haven't dug up the hamsters buried in the back yard...that one wouldn't turn out so well, especially with Jonny.  Even though this poor bird had a sad ending, we know it lived its purpose and we know it is where it is supposed to be.  R.I.P. little bird.
