Well, I had a nice (ya right) Christmas gift from my dog this year. 3 a.m. the morning of the 24th, my dog woke me up looking all happy and excited. I thought she had to go out, so I got up. When I walked passed one of the spare bedrooms, I saw something on the floor, and thought perhaps I was too late and she had had an accident (which never happens). So, I grabbed something to clean up whatever it was. When I reached down to pick it up, as soon as my kleenexed hand touched it, all I heard was "weet, weet, weet" (sounds more authentic when I do it out loud). IT WAS A FREAKING BAT! Thank God it didn't start flying around, it just laid there. Dakota (my dog) was just so darn proud of herself. Her little tail was just spinning out of control with the excitement of her find! Given my fear of any flying creatures, I could not touch the thing again. So I put a box over top of it (with air holes so it could breath), and the next day had someone come over and get it out of my house. Poor little Dakota lost her playmate.
