Maxx and I popped up to VIU this morning to do a little bunny-watching and to watch the sunrise. There was one rabbit-hole with a bunch of wee baby bunnies poking their noses out of it. Unfortunately, we were there while I raven swooped down and snatched a wee bunny just before it made it back to the safety of the burrow, so the little fellow was killed and eaten before our eyes.
Makes me grateful that when I have the dogs out in the yard at home, I'm wise enough to be out in the yard with them, as a deterrent to large predatory birds. After all, Maxx was out there once when a seagull ended up down on the grass with Angel looking at her as though she would make a nice bite of lunch. That's a downside to having micro-dogs, the fear that a predator will just swoop down and carry them off. I know it can happen with quite a larger dog, too, but it's just that much less likely.
Maxx is asleep right now, and I'll be waking him up at 5pm, so he can go pick up a friend who is coming over for dinner, then we're going to cook up our spiral cut ham, with roasted apples, potatoes, carrots, and onions, and some stuffing (I cheat and use the boxed stuff, but I like it!), with home-made applesauce for dessert, or perhaps plum-nectarine sauce on vanilla ice cream.
