Dogs

Ok, so I just need to blog about this.  I have been the ultimate mom figure this weekend.  Now, I don't have kids, just dogs.  The glorious thing about dogs is that when they wake you up at 4:48 in the morning, you can just let them go to the bathroom and then stick them in their kennels and continue to sleep.  (If you cannot tell, my parents left me again to go watch Kelly play volleyball, so I am dog sitting).  So, after I wake up in the morning, I feed them, and then I take them walking.  Most people don't have to walk four dogs, which is nice, BUT if you are wanting to get a bit more exercise, go 4.  I take the old dog (Bess) and the tripod dog (Mallard) on their walk first.  They go at about the same pace.  I then put them back in the house after about a 20-30 minute walk and grab the big dogs, namely Gus and Milly.  And walk, well run, them.  So then I come back, make a pot of coffee, and fix breakfast. 

I then move on to more motherly tasks.  I decide that it is time to take the pile of clothes laying outside my room and put them where they are supposed to go.  I also decide that it is about time that I unpacked my trunk from camp.  The clothes now have a musty smell, so I then decided to do laundry.  At this point, I decided it is a good idea to make sure Mallard is still in the vicinity (she has not been trained on the electric fence).  I look for her, can't find her outside, so I round the corner and I find her chewing on something.  To my horror, it was a mouse.  And its innards were out.  And she was just snacking away.  Ugh, disgusting.  I got that mouse and threw it away.  3 minutes later, Mallard brings in another dead mouse.  This one is bigger and had not been dug into yet.  So I'm freaking out.  I get that mouse and throw him away too.  I then go outside to see where she is getting all these mice and I find her chewing on a head.  A sad decapitated mouse head.  Now I am so sick to my stomach that my poor quesadilla waiting to be eaten makes me want to toss my cookies.

So moral of the story, my stomach is very upset right now.
