Every night just before we head to bed, Andy and I take Tiva for her final evening pee break. She doesn't like being outside in the dark very much, so we bring some bright flashlights and scan the area for predators. Saturday night, though, we didn't see a mountain lion or bobcat. We saw a shrew! Of course, I first thought it was a mouse but quickly realized it was WAY too small to be a mouse and its nose was distinctly shrew-like. It tried to run away but seemed to bumble a bit and even rolled around as it scampered across the driveway. I couldn't believe my eyes and SO wished I had a camera with me but followed it into some rocks nearby. I thought that would be the last time we would see it. Then, on Sunday afternoon we noticed that it was lying dead in the middle of the drive. Luckily, no one had run over it, and Andy moved it to its final resting spot. RIP little shrew. Thanks for staying still for my pictures!
