Nature Red in Tooth and Claw

She looks so innocent when she's sleeping, but don't be mistaken. Ding Ding is proving to be a predator. I came home from a meeting the other night to find my husband disposing of a dead robin. Ding Ding had brought it into the kitchen, and was playing with it. He had a battle getting it away from her--she kept grabbing it, and trying to bat it around. He finally prevailed, but I'm sure she'll do it again. I wouldn't mind dead rodents (although I'd prefer them not in the house), but I do hate to see her going after birds.

Always something going on...

It's been a while since I've posted, but Dingers has been busy. She loves the outdoors, and spends a good part of her day outside unless it's really raining. I am including a picture of her in one of her favorite outside places--hiding in the grass.

The other morning I found her climbing around on the top of the 8 foot high backboard of an antique walnut bed we have. I ran to get the camera, but she got down when I left the room. I hope to get this feat documented on film, but who knows.
