<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Heather, Thanks for sharing the NEBHR video...I
laughed, I cried, I laughed again and cried some more...and at the end i went
and hugged my hounds.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Colt & Ruger will eat dead animals also.
If I catch them I make them drop it & go into the house while I get the
pooper scooper and a paperbag to pick up the poor dead thing and put it in the
outside trash bin. Sometimes I have had to pry it out of their mouths and
yes it is gross, but much better for me to grossed out a bit than for my
furkids to get sick. We have had a problem down here with West Nile
virus. I don't know if the boys could catch it from eating a
dead animal or not, but that is not a chance that I am willing to
take. If I could figure out how to make them gargle and spit out Listerine
I would do that after they have something dead in their mouths. Also...you
never know if the animal was killed by another animal or if it died from eating
something poisonious that could poison your dog by them eating the dead thin.
Better to be grossed out and keep your hound safe than to let them eat it and be
sorry later. Just my 2 cents.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The boys are not happy campers today, because
of the heat, humidity and whatever is making them itch and break out, momma
has confined them to the house. Poor abused hounds! Colt is sleeping
behind me while I sit at the computer desk and Ruger...well I am sure he is
either at the sliding glass door or sitting in his perch looking out into the
back yard through the big picture window longer to go out and hunt down the
terrorist squirrels. I hear the word trial for treason going through
Rugers mind. Hehehe...I wonder if I can bribe my way out of it with
chicken jerky or honeydew melon.</FONT></DIV>
