My Bella is a Killer :(

[Ginger's Mom]

Poor sweet Bella thought she was doing a good job by bringing home tomorrow's meal in the pouring rain. Look at the expression in that second picture, she has no idea that what she did may be considered wrong by some people. Yep, she definitely needs a light sentence for her indiscretion. How about, no baths for the next two weeks, that will teach her.

Oh no....Bella! Because Fenway has killed many a critter (mice, rat and chipmunk) I can recommend a good lawyer.

I remember when he killed a rat & chipmunk. I felt sooooo awful. But I had to remember that was his instinct and if he were ever lost in the woods, I knew he could at least kill something to eat.

Take care Bella.

YIKES That's my reaction.

and that is Hannah's.


I think there is a pigeon hunting season somewhere in the USA. If we find out where, I'm sure Bella would be in high demand and could earn top dollar.

I just googled and think it was a Mourning Dove. Here is a picture of one in healthier condition.

aww, Bella! I know you were just trying to bring mommy a present, but that's not exactly what she wanted!

Dear Bella,

Good Job! You saved your humans from that pesky bird and had fun doing it. Don't worry about what they say, it's in your genes.

Respectfurry,

Dear Bella,

It happens. Usually when I meet someone new outside and bring the new friend to Blondie....all is well. But one time....I saw my good buddy, Chippie the Chipmunk and was so excited!!! I ran to greet him and....well...he had a fatal heart attack on the spot! (Did Barbara and Siegmar HAVE to be there... )

So...go easy on yourself...and realize how useful you could be to some vice-presidents!

The joy of bird dogs, even if you don't want them to hunt for you, they will hunt for themselves! Make sure you don't feed the bird or you'll just make it easier for Bella to catch them. We have two bird dogs, but we want them to hunt! Lou Lou and Winchester say good girl Bella! Winchester caught a pheasant all my himself once!

Looks like an European Rock Dove - known as a "pigeon".

Mourning doves make a smooth cooing sound (kind of mournful) - pigeons have a "gurgly" sound to their call.

When the ERDs are pure white, they become our Peace Doves.

My dad was a bird fan, and I found this out from him.

My biggest worry is that, in cities, pigeons are often nuisance birds, and fed poisoned food - and any animal that eats the poisoned pigeons can get very sick(at the least).

If Bella was able to catch it - either it was very tame, or already injured.

HUGS to you.

Oh Bella!!!! ,

You would sure be very busy up here in my back yard!!!!

We have large White Pines in our back yard, and of course, that means lots and lots of Mourning Doves!!!! I have to watch out for them when ever my Grand Dog, ( a black lab/springer spanial) is in their area!!!

I've seen this happen a few times too!!!!
