we just got back from watching Mean Girls.
we were walking the dogs, and david's big feet are playing Godzilla to all the Japanese snails.
CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH
So I pick up a snail, and it's crawling around in my hand... Since it's dark outside I bring it up to eye-level w/ David, to show him the little guy.
He viciously whacks my arm, launching the snail out of my hand into the air! wait about half a second and then we hear CRUNCH as the snail slams into the pavement. I had cupped my hand, but apparently david used too much force. He was a goner.
This whole time Lucky has been pawing at a specific place in this shrub. Not 30 seconds later we hear a PEEP. Lucky had a baby bird in his mouth. David starts yanking him around trying to get the him to drop the little bird, and when he finally does I reach down to pick him up. David wigs out. He thought bringing the birdee inside would be a really bad idea.
So the bird died in the cold, wet street.
with that off my chest, I'm going to bed.
