Sugarcain

I let Cain out this morning to go for his morning bathroom break. I came in to get his breakfast ready. Usually as soon as he has done his business he is at the door ready for his breakfast (it doesn't take me long to mix 1/2 a can of wet food with his kibble). Well, this morning he didn't want to come in for his food. I went outside and he ran around the side of the carport where I couldn't see him. I thought maybe the neighbour was out, and that Cain would start barking as he normally does at him. Since it was 6:30 this morning, I figured it was too early for other neighbours to be woken up with his barking.
So I go outside with his food dish to coax him inside, take a few steps, and almost step on a dead bird. I make a mental note to myself to make my husband get it out of the yard as soon as he wakes up, and walk towards Cain. He is acting crazy, pawing at something on the ground. I call him and he looks up, see's me and picks up what he's pawing at like he's showing me what he has. Its another bird and its still alive. Its squawking, and flapping the wing thats not in Cain's mouth, and no command would get him to drop that bird.
I ran into the house to get his favourite toy (which vibrates and makes noise) and some treats, even his car leash (because he loves his car rides) but nothing worked. Finally he decided to drop it and come to the door, I went out to check and the bird was dead. I guess he figured out that if it didn't move and make any noise, it wasn't fun anymore. I don't know if he realized that he killed the bird or if he just left it because it didn't move anymore, but I sure hope that he doesn't kill anymore.
