I've been wondering why the dogs have been digging holes, sometimes frantically, out in the middle of nowhere seemingly in trails or paths. Today my suspicion of them tracking moles was confirmed. Majestic carried one in ever so quietly that I didn't notice. Next trip in the kitchen I looked, wondering what the heck was on the just mopped floor. A closer inspection revealed a wet, still intact but very dead mole. Jess and Galtero had been out together so at the time of discovery I didn't know who was the catcher but Jess told on herself. When I went to get a sweeper to remove the carcass I came back to, you guessed it, no carcass. One look at Jess holding it gently in her mouth pretty much told me. Some things we just don't photograph though. Still live armadillos in the mouth of a dog is one thing (thanks for that one Serious). Respect for the deceased another. Hopefully the pests will have a pow wow and move on to neighboring properties. For reasons not needing mention.

I found Prancer, and a bird, in her bed. She was trying to hide it....the scattered feathers gave it away. 😯

Nothing like fresh catch for a snack I guess... a bird is impressi've though. They're generally pretty quick!

My Dobermans killed what turned out to be a mama opossum. I found out she was a mom because later that day and the next my dogs were bringing me soggy yet very much alive opossums. I have always been a firm believer that Dobermans love babies in any form and this was just another situation of hundreds before that proved me right. I contacted a rescue organization and we were able to save 3 of the 4 the dogs brought me over a 2 day period. As for holes...Batman digs holes in my yard bigger than he is...sometimes I see dirt spitting out yet cant see him. People have told me I should get on to him about it. I am also a firm believer in picking my battles. As long as he satisfies his urges to dig IN the yard and not UNDER the fence...I say dig on. Not to mention I rarely have to trim his front nails! lol Leave a Reply. |
