Our little girl is growing up...

Not our daughter, I'm speaking of little Izzy. Today, Izzy scored her first "kill." The ground squirrels around here have been teasing her when she is out on her leash. A couple days ago, one of them ran within a foot of her, apparently aware of how far she could go on the leash. As near as we can tell, one mouse didn't have the same distance judgment. Izzy laid the carcass on the step to show us. She is walking around with a new air of confidence... knowing that she is only slightly removed from her jungle cat cousins.
