Let the massacres begin- not for the faint of heart

Last year Sleepy brought home several snakes. This year she has started again, but has branched out . A while back I was down stairs cleaning before B came home from a call day. I heard this screaming from Thing 1  All I could understand was MOM, SLEEPY blah bah blah. I asked her what she said several times and I couldn't get what she was telling me.  Finally, I told her I to wait because I couldn't hear what she was saying. Then she yells down. MOM SLEEPY BROUGHT IN AN ANIMAL!! SHE KILLED IT, SHE KILLED AAAANNNNN ANIMAAALLLL!!  Sure enough, I went up stairs and found a dead mouse on my kitchen floor. UGH! I had to scour my entire floor. It was so gross.

Today, Thing 1 found half of a snake on the deck. The other day I found another half as well. Yuck!! Shortly afterwards I heard Sleepy on our back steps meowing. Normally she doesn't make much noise outside. I went to investigate and found a full grown snake. The thing is that she didn't kill the thing. UGH! The girls wanted to see it so I held it for them and let them pet it. Then we sent it back over the fence. I think she stunned it more then anything. I have to say I would much rather find a dead mouse by my back door then a dead snake. The snakes eat the mice.
