Eeeewww! Around here we find a lot of the same type of thing (aka. dead stuff), usually baby birds or bunnies, in the spring. I am always on the lookout. When my daughter was little I became very good at the 'distract and avoid' game.....hey look at that cool thing over there honey! With the superior power of the nose, it doesn't work so well for canines huh? Great photo.
