Trophies

Now that we have come off of daylight savings time we have about 15 minutes after work before complete and utter darkness. Ok slight exaggeration but it is dark. Of course Kassa and my evening walks have been cautious adventures as we try to ensure the cars can see us on these narrow Tennessee roads. Last night we stepped off to the side as a car went by. Kassa went into his sniffy mode as he so often does.. pauses.. and comes up with something hanging from mouth to pavement. "Thanks dad.. its the roadkill I always wanted!" An unfortunate fuzzy tailed rodent had not survived our foggy mornings and now had become Kassa's prise. I yelled "DROP IT" as I secretly said thanks for the darkness. One really does not want to see maggot covered road kill hanging from the mouth of ones couch companion. Almost surprisingly he did.. drop it that is. It bounced off my boot and we went on our merry way. This morning Kassa got retaliation for the loss of his prise by snookering his mom out of an extra breakfast. "The way he was following me around and looking at me, I thought you hadn't fed him yet." Ahem.. Well those big beautiful eyes don't work so well on me my boy. I've seen road kill hanging from just beneath them. Thats it for today. Aren't you glad I don't have pics :)
