Eeeewwwww!!!

Today I was out doing yard work. I kept thinking I smelled something nasty and as I got to the north end of our yard it got worse. I seriously thought I could smell rotting flesh. I was working the perimeter of the yard doing the trimming. My first thought was a terrible one, I'll admit, I thought "gosh, I hope the old lady next door isn't dead in her house." The smell was terrible. Needing a break I turned back toward my house and here is what I saw...

It was a dead squirrel, decaying, full of maggots, and very disgusting!! I think the other neighbor's dog got it the other day. I remember seeing their big brown lab running full steam through my back yard a couple of days ago and didn't think anything of it until now. I think Honey got this poor little squirrel. Anyway since Mike was gone, I had to clean it up myself. It was so gross and so smelly. I nearly puked. I hope to never see anything like that again, but as gross as it was, I was happy to know it wasn't my neighbor. :)
