She once brought a dead squirrel into the house (zero chance that she caught it; I think the cat had left it on the lawn). She found a piece of a rabbit in a huge puddle beside our driveway. And worst of all, this past summer she found... something. I'm not 100% sure what it was, but it could very well be the remains of our cat that had disappeared the year before. I didn't tell my wife about that one. Well, I told her, but I said I thought it was a stoat or something along those lines.I just let the dogs in and noticed blood in the snow, so checked them over for cuts and bleeding, can't find anything. Then I look out across the yard and see a lot more bloody snow so I go check it out. Looks like the remains of a bunny, but not much left of it, just a bit of fur and a couple of internal organs, no bones, no meat.I really don't know if my dogs killed and ate a bunny, they had no blood on their fur, but it was all over the yard. I don't even know if they had anything to do with it, they were out less than an hour and we saw them chasing each other by the window a few times, never with bunny parts hanging out of their mouths or any noises or clues to what happened.I've found dead bunny parts in the yard before, always when we weren't home and I put it down to birds of prey. Yeah, coyotes could jump over the rear 4' fence, but I saw no evidence of that either.Guess I'm checking poops for a couple of days.Annnnd, find anything?Nope, they acted completely normal.Now they have a new thing... I was carrying Bella upstairs at night as her leg was hurting. At bedtime she would climb on my lap for me to carry her up and put her to bed. Her leg is ok now, she runs up and down stairs on her own all day long, except at bedtime when she still insists I carry her.Her brother Beetle, always wanting things to be fair now also insists on my carrying him to bed, he'll just lay at the bottom of the stairs and act like he can't move until I carry him up.Yes, they're spoiled.

Taken last night. It's become a Saturday night ritual for these two sleeping on the sofa together.

Interesting study regarding the health benefits of pet ownership.http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/university-alberta-edmonton-research-dogs-help-babies-allergies-obesity-1.4060080Not really a surprise to me as there is nothing more effective at maintaining my psychological equilibrium than hanging out with my dog.
