Woof!
The last couple of days Olivia and I have been down at the bay house. Olivia is finally learning to hunt!
Yesterday she tracked down a sand crab and dispatched it.
Then she sniffed out a small garter snake and whipped it around just like I showed her! When the snake was dead, she took it to the edge of the water and dropped it in. I told her not to eat the thing and she didn't.

We're all very proud.

You mean she didn't roll all over the snake first to get the good smell on her? That's what I do.

Dachsies are lion-hearted and relentless while on the hunt...Beatrice and Olivia are just doin' what comes quite naturally to them...
ReplyDeletedogblog: Agree w/The Boy. Our beagle, Skip, would have followed the 'hunt, kill, drop and roll' rule and come into the house reeking of 'eau du snake'...

Beatrice -
ReplyDeleteYou must be an excellent teacher!! Olivia is catching on quick!
Can I come a-huntin' with you sometime? I agree with The Boy - rolling around in it is great fun. 'specially if it's a deer carcass

Dear Beatrice and Olivia,
ReplyDeleteI am very impressed with such great hunting skills!
If you come to my house, I will teach you how to get a bird! I am so good at it. I got two just this week. Though Indoor Mama says I should stick with the rats and mice.
Sincerely,
Simy,

Poor little garter snake . . . quietly minding it's own business before being set upon by rough 4-legged monsters.
