I got up this morning and went out to tie the dogs out.  I was getting their food,water, and vitamins ready and wasn’t paying much attention.  As soon as I’d attached Millie’s chain to her collar, she went over to the side steps and was looking at something.  Finally, I wondered what she was looking at and went over to investigate.

She was eying a a quivering bat on a step.  I got hubby, held Millie back while he got a shovel and dispatched the bat.  (I don’t think Millie touched it, but she is current on her shots.)  We disposed of it without touching it, but now we’re wondering about this new piece of the wildlife picture.
