Weird evening
We have a doggy door in our laundry room so the dogs can go in or out whenever they want.
I was in my office and I heard the doggy door flap flap a lot all of the sudden. Like not hearing a toddler, best check out what is going on.
I saw Reuben, or male dachshund standing next to his water bowl with a very dead bunny in his mouth. So I alerted Mrs. Carrera, and hauled him outside, and she brought out a full dog biscuit as a swap. Wave the treat in front of his nose, and place it on the ground. I suspect he was trying to figure out how to get a drink of water, and not put down the bunny.
He spit ot the dead bunny, and went for the treat. I grabbed the bunny by it's ear, and hauled it to our compost pile. Mrs. Carrera turned on the light out there, but it is still pretty dark, so I headed to the garage to get a flashlight. As I reached for the keypad, she opened the garage door, and a scorpion ran from the rummer seal on the bottom of the door. I flattened it like a Wiley Coyote cartoon.
I grabbed a hand trowel, dug a very small grave in the compost pile, and it was just crawling with worms. Mr. Bunny will be gone in short order. It was not his first bunny, and he has killed a squirrel as well.
As I was washing my hands in the garage bathroom, right next to my light switch was a large spider that looked like a Black Widow on the prowl. I did not check it's belly, I just smashed it as well.
Hopefully no more critters on the prowl tonight.
