gross

[earlthekevin]

wow when I came home today my little rat terrier came up to me holding a bone in it's mouth and it didn't look like anything i've givin him so I figured it was the neibor who gave it to him. That is, until I look at the couch with a mangled bunny laying on it.

Yes thats righ folks, my tiny dog caught a huge rabbit, killed it, brought it inside, ripped it's legg off, and then showed it to me as if I should be proud.


good dog.

[Classicblast]

How did you react?

Did it make you proud of your dog or sad for the rabbit?

[earlthekevin]

Well I was more mad at him for bringing it inside than the killing of it because that is just it's nature.

The funny thing is is that I was in the basement and my mom was the one who found the rabbit. I could've sworn she was being threatend at gun point by the way she screamed

[Classicblast]

It sounds like your mother reacted exactly the same way mine would have.

[Demona]

My mom would have sh*t her pants, that's far worse than bringing a toad or bug in the house and she hates those.

[Blastgirl]

My Mom would have been sad but I don't think she would have freaked out too much.

I remember reading this story at Earlthekevin's site. I guess it's natural for a hunting dog but I still feel sad for the Bunny.

Ho, ho...I have one similar, and, probably ickier.

I have two (count 'em, two! Jack Russell Terriers)

One morning I woke up and headed down the hallway outside my bedroom, to the living room, in my morning daze.

The boys met me in a frantic gittyness that they always do and I reached down to pet them.

One head.
Second head.

I heard one flip over on his back (which he does often), so I reach down to scratch his belly in the dark.......but his belly was cold and wet.

I walk down the hall and turn on the light....

What I had actually done was scratch the belly of a dead Opossum that the boys had drug in through the doggie door!

*now begins the wretching*

The worse part was:

Is it really dead? Or playing Opossum?

[Blastgirl]

I think dead if guts were scattered.

It is cool how Opossums know how to become still until Predators leave them though.

[Mahnarch]

This one wasn't mangled to bits. It was just dead.

Most likely a juggular puncture.

My dogs don't tear the 'catches' apart.

They've left many racoons in tact in the back yard.

Jack Russells are bred 'hunter-returner's - like goose labs and fox hounds.

They even tried to catch and return a goat that had wandered to close to our yard, once.
Unsuccessfully, I might add.

Jeff (the goat) just ignored their pulling, for the most part.
