What Kind of Wine Goes With Dead Squirrel?
Cheryl returned from her walk with Oreo at Conroy Pit today to announce that he again ate something disgusting. Since he's off his leash at the dog walk, it's often difficult to see what he's ingesting. But Cheryl managed to catch up with him in time to see what appeared to be a hairy haunch of dead squirrel disappear down Oreo's gullet.
I'm glad I wasn't there to see Oreo's latest culinary adventure. Even if starving, I suspect I'd have a hard time scarfing down a piece of skinned and roasted squirrel. Imagine then, if you will, a piece of dead, rotting, hair-covered rodent sliding down your throat. And then imagine asking for more. Well, that's Oreo.
So long as I don't have to watch him chew on roadkill, I don't really mind what he eats. Except for the possibility that he'll get sick again. We already had one visit to the vet last month resulting from some unidentifiable meal that Oreo ate. If this is going to be a regular moveable feast, then we simply can't afford it.
Stay tuned to see if Oreo's future visits to Conroy Pit involve the wearing of a dead squirrel-proof muzzle.
