The Horse @TheHorse (225421) • Walnut Creek, California 18 Apr

It was already quite dead, but she was tossing it around as if it was trying to get away. I finally distracted her and put it out on my balcony. She doesn't seem that interested in it right now. I may toss it into the bushes if...

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (42794) 18 Apr
