I am Bird Dog!
I got one! I got one! I didn't get to keep it. But, I got one! A bird. [Maybe a robin, a female one, the other bird nearby was definitely a robin.] We were running around the cemetery and I stopped to stretch out in some long grass that still had dew on it. Very nice for cooling off, and when I started to get up I spotted some birds. I pounced, it lifted, I snapped, I got it. Then Katie made me drop it. I tried to go back for it, but she wouldn't let me. She wouldn't let me keep the pizza crust I found earlier in the day either. The some other dogs came along and I played with them.
[I should've let him keep it a touch longer. It of course was not dead. I started to step on its head to sort of finish it off "humanely" instead of leaving it lie there. But, I lost my nerve. I don't like to even step on big bugs because of the cracking noise they make and the feel. Them someone else came by and I didn't want them to see me stepping on the bird, which in retrospect was kind of silly. Then when I checked it again, it was dead, thank goodness. - Katie]
