Mousey

My dad watched our dog Dixie last weekend while we were at the Green Country Classic Ranch Rodeo and when we went to pick her up she had this thing in her mouth... all I saw was a tail hanging out. Then I saw her throw it in the air and pounce on it... like she did a few weeks ago to a live mouse. Then I figured out she had a fake mouse, one of the cat's toys.

She wouldn't put this thing down, so my dad gave it to her. Is it sad that all I could think about was training her to be a personal mouse killer? If I can teach her this thing is called mousy, which she is picking up on already, and she sees a live one, then maybe she'll go get it. That's getting rid of twice the amount of mice! I'm thinkin' it's a good idea.
