It was pretty disgusting. We could smell it a very long way away (we were riding up wind). I think I'll just let the critters have at it for a few months. <BR/><BR/>But isn't it SOOOO much better that Mira is worried about lost raccoon bones instead of being worried about whether or not she gets to hang at the mall?

Waiting and hoping that the deer carcase will remain intact until fully decomposed.<BR/><BR/>She was sooo disappointed when she went to pick up a dead raccoon in the hay loft on Saturday only to find out that it was gone or covered with huge round hay bales.<BR/><BR/>MamooAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19077639.post-4618111988247326392008-07-27T18:38:00.000-03:002008-07-27T18:38:00.000-03:00Now when the first pimply faced boys show up at th...Now when the first pimply faced boys show up at the house to ask to take Mira out on a date I can truthfully say to them, "Oh, you might want to reconsider this idea. She has a lot of skeletons in her closet." Truth + double entendre = boy repellant. <BR/><BR/>I think I'll help her collect bones for the next couple of years. Speaking of which, we found a really BIG dead deer today. It was stinking enough to make a grown man vomit, but it will be one great skeleton once it finishes rotting. It's in a place where it probably won't get too disturbed either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19077639.post-17167999789642358302008-07-27T14:56:00.000-03:002008-07-27T14:56:00.000-03:00How very cool!How is she going to assemble them?How very cool!<BR/><BR/>How is she going to assemble them?David T.

There were beef cattle in a field nearby and we once found a dead cow in the woods.

But I know that Mira is always on the lookout for such things.<BR/><BR/>At Mira's age, being interested in bones of dead animals beats being interested in live boys don't you think?<BR/>Pretty soon though you will need another room or closet just for Mira's bones. Yeah, a bone room just for Mira sounds good.<BR/><BR/>I think that having real bones in the front yard at Halloween sounds much cooler than those fake plastic bones that you buy at Wall Mart. <BR/><BR/>You may have a serious anthropologist in your midst. Good luck Mira with your quest for skeletons.<BR/><BR/>MamooAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19077639.post-22511223157042128202008-07-27T09:38:00.000-03:002008-07-27T09:38:00.000-03:00Mira tells me that when she gets the deer skeleton...Mira tells me that when she gets the deer skeleton assembled it will make a good lawn ornament for Halloween.

Jess is twelve. Last summer, my Dad found a rat in the bird seed (my parents keep tons of birds), and one of the dogs had given it a pretty good shake. It was either stunned or dead. <BR/><BR/>Jess... cut it open. And identified all the parts.<BR/><BR/>My brother, who is sixteen, had to sit with his head between his knees.<BR/><BR/><B>Rock On, Science Grrrrlz!</B>tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.com
