[Dailydrool] Hunting in the backyard

[plumcatcher at aol.com]

MY BASSET, STELLA BELLE, HAS TRIED AND TRIED FOR A CHIPMUNK SINCE WE ADOPTED HER ~ 2 WEEKS AGO SHE FINALLY GOT ONE AND KILLED IT AND BROUGHT IT IN TO SHOW ME ~ ISH ~ SHE STILL CHASES THEM BUT NOT AS MUCH NOW SINCE SHE FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET ONE.  SHE DOESN'T STAND A CHANCE WITH A SQUIRREL ~ I DON'T THINK ~ BUT SHE HAS GOTTEN A COUPLE OF BIRDS.

We are always having trouble with the dogs and the stupid, stupid robins. We are in the country and we have a backyard for the hounds, two side yards and a deep front yard. All the other birds choose to NOT nest in the backyard. The robins seem to be idiots and nest in the backyard where my dogs kill several of their fledglings every year. Browyn is up to two so far. Then I have Bugsey the mouse and vole hunter. Beauford has killed an adult robin and an adult rabbit. Browyn finds the baby rabbits, asks Bugsey what to do and he steals them and runs around with them in his mouth.  He doesn't hurt them and the babies scream so much I always go out and save them.  


We do have bird feeders, but they are in the side yard near a crab apple.  The crab apple protects the little birds from the hawks. Banshee ATB used to eat the shells of the seeds when the feeder was in the backyard and she got an ulcer. So, we moved the feeder. Probably a good idea. Sometimes I get tired of trading treats for animals dead or alive. Fortunately, my dogs chew.
