I was on the phone this afternoon, with the front door open, and I see Little Man standing at the storm door. He had a mouse in his mouth! He started pawing at the door wanting in!
The mouse started wiggling but I could tell it was clearly injured and not going to make it.
I shut the door and pretended that I didn't see anything.
When possible, I try and save the creatures before they meet their fate, but this mouse was not going to live with the injury he had so I let Little Man do his thing.
That reminded me of another similar story. I was gearing up to leave overnight. It was already dark when I was packed and ready to leave. All I was waiting on was for Hatteras (not longer living now) to come home. I had the lights out and literally ready to go. Saw her at the door, let her in and I immediately left. I came home the next day to find black bird feathers ALL over my apt.
I found the bird in the kitchen. She apparently had walked in with it that night before, but it was dark and I didn't see or hear it. I even had feathers in the toilet!
Disgusting!
