5.4.12 Chasing Tree Rats

04 May

I am mad at Louise for taking off after a squirrel when we were at the house front steps and then she disappeared into the neighbors yard.  I put Sofie in the house and got a lead and went out calling her. I guess there is not much you can do when a Hound/Lab sees or smells a varmint, but I just don’t like it.  She fools me because she can be walking with me off lead, so nice and calm and then zoooooooooom – there she goes.  Well that is just not safe, and not right, and I just don’t like it.  So I am mad at you Louise.  I try and try and try but the clicker and the treats are no match for a smelly, peanut eating, tree rat.

Just another DogDaz morning at the zoo ❤

    ahh Mom. I came right back. It is really embarrasing to have those varmits in your yard. What would the neighbors think?

      You are so right Sandy. Here in the ‘burbs’ I just worry about speeding cars….

    Delilah is the exact same way, it is very frustrating.

      I guess you can take the dog out of the field, but you can’t take the field out of the dog…. or something like that…. LOL

    Lulu can’t fight those instincts! She is a true canine 🙂 Maybe a t-bone steak would deter her?

      I know she can’t fight those instincts Bella & Didi, but what’s an owner to do?
