We did some yard work early Sunday and throughout the day. The corgis love it and if they’re not following us, they are never far away keeping a watchful eye as to where either one of us are. At one point, I’m in the garage and Cody is busy with something. What is it? Upon closer observation — something is hanging out of his puppy mouth and his mouth is busily chewing. Eeeeek! It’s a tail! At first glance, it looks like a mouse tail. Cody hears me shriek and his jaw slightly drops and I get a better look at a lifeless body lying on his tongue.
It’s a small lizard. Poor little thing. Cody chomps down and the tail drops. The tail keeps moving without its body and all the while, Cody quickly gulps his lizard meal down. I’m thinking to myself that I have to remember not to let him lick me or kiss his little puppy nose as he just displayed his preadatory side and killed a little creature.
Next morning I’m dressed and ready to leave for work. Cody is acting strange. Puppy recreates the Exorcism scene when Linda Blair ceremoniously throws up globs of gook. To make a rather gross story short (five convulsion scenes later, a lot of barf to clean up, and my slacks soiled from the ordeal), Cody has nothing else to throw-up.
Poor little guy. I’m sure he didn’t make the connection between his now exhausted little body and the previous day’s tasty, live treat!
