McComb Family

This weekend we spent most of our time outside working on the landscaping. It seems like we should be done by now, but there is always more to do. We had to finish planting everything and get the water system in.
We also had a rock wall to build (which means, first going around the property finding rocks and then stacking them up in to a wall once you've hauled them over).It's finally coming together though. I can't wait until they start getting bigger and filling in the area. (And, of course, we've still got the patio to do in the middle which will make a huge difference!)

Anyways, while we were spending all this time outside this weekend doing the landscaping, getting the pool ready, etc. etc., the dogs were constantly around. Tyger shows up with what the kids called a "skeleton" in his mouth. I didn't see him, but he went off and started gnawing away on this thing. I was imagining maybe a rabbit or gopher, so I asked Bret about it. He said it was a skull and entire backbone. I went over to take a look and the thing was huge. What kind of animal could it be? Then both of us got the same idea....

Bret: Do you think it could be....?

Me: Uh, yeah. I was just thinking the same thing.....

Bret: Do you think we should.....

Me: Umm yeah, I think I'll go for a little walk.

Ick, yuck, gag.....could they really? Had enough time passed for her to be to the point of just bones? A million thoughts were running through my mind.....

Luckily, for all, her grave was still intact and untouched.

The mystery remains though......what kind of animal was that?
