My dog weighs all of five pounds.  If anything, the bunnies might try and carry Butch away.  He's managed to sneak in before with a sparrow wing or leg.  He sounds just like Taz when you try and take a trophy away like that.

Well, the younger girl got one...a freaking bunny.

Went to let her in and there she was at the back door with the non-kosher half in her mouth.

Happy to say the door is glass so I saw the carnage before opening it up to the nasty.

Both dogs got baths at about 10 last night to get off any rabbit residue.

I never heard the scream.

I've heard that scream several times. My 13-year-old greyhound has killed five rabbits in his lifetime. He's so damned fast (even now), he can be on top of the critters in no time. He nearly killed a stray cat, too.

The ice storm provided good hunting for her and her sister.  A kamikaze rat ran right at her, many squirrels have gone to the mighty oak in the sky, a robin that I had to finish off (unpleasant).

I've told her every time I let her out for a year now, "don't kill anything today".  She didn't listen yesterday.

Some parts of our backyard look like a war zone. While I was filling some of the ankle breaking and twisting holes, I found a dead mole.  I guess my dog was successful. One less mole to attack my pepper garden.

Swimming pools are a great way to catch all sorts of vermin.  I remember the first time I had a drowned mole in the skimmer basket I freaked.  At first glance I thought it was a huge rat.  I guess he'd tunnelled out and had no clue where he was going.  I get birds, mice, bats, toads.  Everything but fish.  ;)
