During the evening, I take Sophie and Leia out to the front yard for some off-leash play. The two of them run around like idiots.. wrestling and playing tug with a rope toy. I sit on a step stool and supervise.
This evening, they were playing as usual. Suddenly, Sophie took off around the side of the house with Leia bringing up the rear. (Leia can't come close to keeping up with Sophie.. yet.)
I went around the side of the house, only to find Sophie just standing there. I couldn't see Leia. I walked around the pool area calling her. She usually comes to me right away, so when she didn't come, I had a moment of fear.
As I walked around the pool, I could hear a noise coming from under the deck. I bent over to take a look.. only to see Leia chomping down on a dead squirrel! **panic**. I couldn't reach her, so I went in the house to grab the broom to get the squirrel away from her. It didn't take me 20 seconds to get back out there, but by then Leia and squirrel weren't under the deck any longer. **super panic**.
I took a quick look around the yard. I spotted Leia under a lawn chair gnawing away at the squirrel. Ick. I grabbed her up and brought her inside. I put her in her crate so I could keep a good eye on her in case she got sick.
The squirrel was 'fresh'. Apparently, Sophie had caught it and stashed it away in 'her' spot outside. Yep, having Leia is bringing Sophie further out of her neurotic shell. She's DEFINITELY acting more like a Rat Terrier!
I've been thinking about doing raw with Leia in the future.. but, this is NOT what I had in mind. :razz:
