Can doods catch a sparrow??

[Ginny Nightingale]

I had a "what the???" moment this morning. I was busy in the house while the dogs played and went in and out of the house (ahh, summer) when I spotted something weird on the living room floor. It was a very dead sparrow. I have no idea how it got there--Neither dog seemed too interested in it and one of my doodles usually eats anything she catches. (Luckily, she doesn't catch much because eating an animal does not really agree with her digestive system...) The other doodle, Lyric, is always leaping up into the air to catch butterflies and bugs, but could she catch a bird?! It's a mystery to me!

We have a robin's nest right outside the backdoor just about 7 feet off the ground and the dogs are always watching the parents fly in and out. I sure hope they don't catch the young robins when they make their first flight!

Ah, see my discussion: Doodle Presents, the tale of one or maybe two fledgling robins. They can and do catch robins.
