What more can I say? Except that it was sweet little Miss Colby in her fancy pants coat who did it. The boys fended off the terrified mother who tried to attack her. They chased her off into the woods. Hopefully, she has more babies to take her mind off this senseless death!
Okay, I'm really glad I was not on that walk. I like to think that Spur and Roscoe look a bit remorseful, but I know that they are just wet and cold. Colby looks serene. I wonder if birds mourn the loss of their chicks.
ReplyDeleteWell, we encountered her again this morning. AGAIN, she was chased off into the woods, but this time I saw the tiny baby escape an attack. They never saw it, thankfully. Whether it was the same one that snapped out of shock and recovered (that is possible, I didn't linger to make sure it was really dead because I didn't want them after any more, if there were more), or it is another one. So, she has at least one more. This one this morning made a weak attempt to fly, but it is TINY.
ReplyDeleteWho would think a dog in a coat could do such a thing?
