TBT: I messed up yesterday. As I was walking the backyard, I found a dead mouse. It had some flies on it, so I figured it was abandoned and tossed it over the fence (to not encourage scavengers to seek food in our backyard). I should have recognized it was a relatively fresh kill because it was still soft and flexible...
What can I say, I just wasn't thinking. Marley came running up a few minutes later, checking the spot. After a minute, he stared right at me accusingly. BUSTED! I had to confess to him I had tossed his mousie away.
I tried to go find it. I'm usually good at finding "nature's leftovers". But I couldn't find it. I wasn't going to encourage Marley to go out in the front yard to look for it either. I don't want him thinking the front yard is a good place to be.
So I called him inside and gave him extra treats. We decided that was a fair exchange...
Sorry for no pictures, it wasn't a good camera opportunity.
