Dead Mouse, Dead Birds

We are animals lovers here, so when a strong storm knocked two baby bird eggs out of the nest last week, we were heartbroken for the mama. In fact, we’d been watching her for  nearly two weeks as she lovingly kept her babies warm. Jeremy was especially sad, as his heart is so tender towards animals. The homeschooling mom in me thought, “We should dissect them!” But in the end, I couldn’t do it.

How we’ll get through Biology, I don’t know.

Also, Salem is back to hunting. All the victims have been mice until this morning when he flung a dead cardinal on the back deck. Watch out, critters! You don’t stand a chance against the the big black panther.

He’s always watching.

  1. Biology is easy since they do have virtual online dissection things. I would go with that. The only thing dissected that I don’t look back at in disgust was owl pellets, which we dissected in summer camp after 5th grade. We were able to walk around the desert and find our own, if you can’t, I know they are online and there are even charts online for it, I recommend it. Oh here try this place for info http://obdk.com/.
    Your cat is a beast! Ours just likes to watch things that are alive and beat up toys. When our hamster would get out, she would follow it all over just staring, which is how we always found him.

    1. Salem IS a beast. 🙂 Thanks for the tips on Biology. We have a ways to go until that class, but I need to work out my jitters sooner than later.
