Bella Has A New Job

Tweet

The other night, Bella was outside doing her business and just meandering around the yard. She had been out for quite a while and I told my daughter to check on her. Bella was in the flower bed which isn't used right now and she was digging as she is prone to do once in a while. My daughter couldn't get her to come in, so she went out there. I went to the door to see what was going on and my daughter told me that Bella had found something, but wasn't sure what it was. Bella was focused on something just under the bricks edging the flower bed. The thing was making a noise and I couldn't really tell what it was. Well then my daughter screamed and jumped back. Bella had the thing in her mouth and threw it into the air playing with it and it fell just out of her reach. But then, she had it back in her mouth and threw it in the air again. Only this time it landed not far from where my daughter was standing in the lawn. My daughter screamed again and ran back to the porch. I laughed. Bella has now become a mouser. The mouse just laid there in the grass quietly. I knew it was dead, but my daughter was going to poke it with a stick to see. She was too scared to do it though. I told her to go get a shovel from the garage and scoop it up to put it in the trashcan. At least, the mice aren't in the house and I know my Bella will take care of them if they ever do get into the house. Good job, Bella!!! Picture by me.
