The Early Dog Gets The Bird

We are still in the middle of the snowstorm here and may have gotten six inches or so. It is windy and cold out so it is hard to tell and it is still snowing. I went down to let the beagle and golden retriever out (Britni and Jasmine) and Britni took off like a shot for the birds. Well, less like a shot and more like a soft, underhanded lob... Anyway, somehow she managed to catch a bird! I think it was hurt before because it was jumping around in the snow and not flying. Anyway, she was walking around with it in her mouth and wanting to come in! That wasn't going to happen. So I waited her out. Eventually she dropped it but it was dead. Jasmine, as seen above, is happy to sit in the snow and observe. She knows her limits...
