The other night we let Sasha and Heidi out in the backyard before bed for one last potty break. It was one of the really wet and rainy days, so they pretty much stayed on the patio. I guess the other little wild animals had the same idea because as I peeked outside to see how they were doing, I saw them playing with something. You know when dogs bat something around with their paws? Well, it was this poor sweet little finch!
I ran outside and pushed the dogs away! I picked it up and took it inside. It was still alive, so Holly got a warm towel and started prepping a little bed for it and took a couple of these photos. It was so soft and tiny in our hands. We could feel it breathing. And at one point it flapped its wings to try to fly away. But then it became still and passed away in our arms. We felt so bad for the little bird who used our home as a sanctuary, but then was betrayed by our little dogs...
Here is a video of our "Bird Sanctuary" in our backyard. We love having all of the wildlife to watch out our window.

Oh dear! I didn't see that coming... did you? What a sad moment. Oh, I bet those dogs were in the dog house after that!!
So sad! Wonderful video though. Loved seeing all the birds! Hopefully they won't do that again.
