dogs will be dogs

last night i am cuddling up to some deliciously bad tv (i believe it was "miss america: reality check") when the biscuit comes to his feet and gives me that "i'm going to puke" look.

i hoist him to the floor just in time for him to barf up a small puddle of liquid (his usual)....only to realize that he's not done yet. he proceeds to puke again, this time the biggest hairball i've ever seen. in fact, the biscuit has never puked up hairball in his life. weird.

i grab some paper towels and as i'm lifting the "hairball" i realize...that's no hairball. honest to god, my dog had consumed an entire. baby. mouse. i was cleaning up a baby mouse torso (no head or tail, thank you very much).

i send you this message as a reminder that while our dogs are adorable, while they are our snuggly little babies who do the cutest things and shower us with kisses and cuddles, they also eat garbage....and other dogs' poop....and baby mice. whole.
