Monkey's Midnight Munchies Mess.....

Such a beautiful morning we had today....the sun was rising, the birds were chirping (and squawking and crowing and cocka-doodle-doing), a lone jack rabbit was snacking on the lawn, the hot air balloons were launching from the field next door.....the perfect morning to sit on the porch with a cup of coffee and watch the kitties chase one another up every tree, over every fence, and through every sticker bush ...(so I can spend an hour brushing them later on). Yes, a gorgeous morning.....till I opened the door.
Bleeechhhh......
Ewwwww....
YUCK!!!
There on the doormat lay what was left of Monkey's midnight snack(s).....I nearly stepped in it (them).
And there sat Monkey proud as a peacock for having been so thoughful as to present such treasures to me.
Lucky me.
I can't be sure, but I think he caught between 3-5 field rodents, (could be mice, could be moles, could be shrew...anybody's guess) tore them into teensy tiny pieces, and then smeared them all over the porch.
Yummy.
Quite artistic, very difficult to clean.
I went through an entire roll of paper towels.
Oh, and the Dawn worked great on the stained pavement. It's Dawn to the rescue again!! Yeah Dawn!
So...the morning's beauty was tainted a bit....compliments of Monkey.....
but it was still a gorgeous day.....
