She is a VERY good girl

The other day, we were on a family stroll to the O'Neal household (some family friends in the neighborhood) to drop off some wares. We had Boo with su and, to keep her occupied, we were throwing her ball with the chucker. After arriving at our destination, Greg (the patriarch of the O'Neal family) was throwing the ball into the wilderness behind their house (it gives Boo an opportunity to use her tracking skills, rather than simply brute force and speed). After a few throws, we noticed that Boo was taking longer than usual to retrieve the ball, and was actually nowhere to be seen. Within a few moments, Boo came bounding out of the thicket with a foreign object in here mouth. At first, I was terrified that it might be some putrefied animal like a skunk or a possum, but after she laid it at our feet, it was clearly a rabbit. In fact, it was a fresh rabbit that she had just caught and killed.

Now, I'm not sure about you, but I'd never tasted rabbit before, and it was right about dinner time, so I told Rachel that I was going to take it home and grill it. A few YouTube videos later, I cleaned the carcass and set it in a BBQ marinade while I started the charcoal.

Here it is after reaching critical temperature on the grill.

As a wild, woodland creature, it was tough and a little gamy. That being said, Makinze and I ate about half of it and we fed the rest to Boo. In all it was not bad just very different, and I really enjoyed the experience of cleaning and preparing game that Boo so thoughtfully brought to us. She is a very good girl!
