Last night.

Well last night about 10.30 I was lying in bed reading my book when I heard someone scuttling around in the bottom hallway, thinking it was my hubby rummaging in the cupboard under the stairs I continued to read. Then I heard chirp, scuttle, chirp, scuttle, and thought "what the hell is that", so I went to investigate and to my horror discovered Mary at the bottom of the stairs with a bird she'd trapped in a corner. I ran down the stairs and Mary picked up the bird and ran into the kitchen. I grabbed her collar and tried to free the bird, which at this point I thought was dead, she did drop it and it managed to hop under the table, as I tried to get Mary outside with one hand and trying to lock the flap with the other. Once outside she was frantically trying to get in again, so I called out to hubby and he managed to catch the birdie and take it away from our estate. Hope the wee thing survives to live another day.

Goodness me... now Mary's become quite a hunter too! Poor little birdie! But it got away this time. Mary must have having the time of her life until you came downstairs! lol!

Oh my! She's copying Budster! LOL! Oh I shouldn't laugh, but I can imagine how excited she would have been with her catch! Then mum takes it away! LOL! Oh I'm glad you did tho, poor birdie, I hope it survives to come back and tease her! What a night!

Oh No! Not only the Budster, but Miss Mary too! Both of them "Smiling Assassins"!
