Animals

The latest from the local paper:


Speaking of dogs, last week I cycled 50 miles. Sebastien did a little less because I went on my own one day; he couldn't go because it was too late and he is not a person of leisure like I am. There were no dogs bothering us all week.

We did see a lot of interesting roadkill. It is different each day. On Friday it was a snapping turtle and a big bird or small hawk. On Thursday, it was a raccoon, a snapper, and half a mouse. On Wednesday, it was a small snake, another snapper, and...the head of a baby deer. Just the head. On the road. The body was nowhere to be seen. Mysterious Missouri roads.

My goodness you live in such a violent area. PETA would be horrified.

I don't know the dog "story," but it sure is cute! Ugh, we can often tell the season by the different road kill. We saw a fawn a few weeks ago, sooooo sad. :( Trevor loves to watch the squashed frogs and lizards on our street when we walk.
