This is getting ridiculous. We’ve gotten (so far) about 6 inches of heavy, wet snow. The kids went out back to build snow people. I was out front, shoveling our long driveway so that my husband can actually get into it when he gets home this evening. I have yet to finish because the kids were out back for only about 5 minutes before my son popped his head over the fence and yelled, “Mom, the dogs found something and killed it!”
Are you kidding me?
Sure enough. They picked up the scent of something and started digging into the snow. It took me a couple minutes of research to identify it, but it appears Thor nailed a short-tailed shrew. Add a new species to his list. So far he’s killed 8 different species of mammals– all in our back yard, and several species of birds, as well.
Well, break time is over. Time to go shovel more snow.
