So apparently last week my husband walked out the door just in time to hear our dog Cricket dispatching something squeaky. He assumed it was a ground squirrel until a day or so later, when he found the body:

He snapped a photo and I didn't know a thing about it until tonight, when I went through the images on the camera and found the photo. He's really good at forgetting to tell me important things like this. Sigh.

Cricket was born by my bed a little over four years ago. Four weeks into her life, my previous husband died and I ended up doing the lousiest job of raising a dog ever. That she's still capable of doing the jobs she was bred for warms my heart.

I don't know that she'll ever gain the sort of reputation that her mother enjoys - Sasha excels at mothering baby birds and making unmarked raccoon carcasses appear in random locations - but she's doing pretty darn good.

For fun, have a picture of the Mighty Huntress airing her softer side:

Looks like Cricket deserves some treats tonight. She's beautiful too.

Beautiful dog! Is that a mink? I know it's some type of weasel and they can destroy a flock in seconds. Glad you have her!

A weasel. She's getting lots of bellyrubs tonight.

To be fair, they're a lot cuter alive and not rained on:
