ACK! Bella just ate a mouse!

[Pam]

She must have dropped it when I told her to, probably behind the shed, (Good Girl!) because she was just outside again and pawing at something closer up to the house but was only partially interested at it at this point. I let her in and went back outside and there it was! It is very limp so I am sure she was responsible for its death but I still cannot identify what it is. I scooped it into the lid of a trashcan and took a picture. It has no tail unless it did and she ate it. I am thinking now that it might be a mole. What do you think?

[Pam]

Forgot the picture!

[Cookiebaker]

Oh Bella, silly baby....Your poor Mom!

[Cinder & Smoke]

I scooped it into the lid of a trashcan and took a picture.

I am thinking now that it might be a mole.
What do you think?

>gasp<

I didn't *look* ...

I'll wait for the Coroner's Report.

[4 Dog Mother]

I think you might be right - it might be a mole. I think a baby mouse would be even smaller - at least the ones I have seen and with no fur, I think a mole.

Bella no matter what it is, stay away from wild things! They might make you sick and we sure don't want a sick Bella. AND most importantly Mommy might not let you give her kisses!!!!

[Ginger's Mom]

Hmm...I don't think I have ever seen anything that looks like that before, fortunately. But I just had to say, GOOD GIRL, BELLA!!! You have a very good drop it response sweetie. I hope you got an extra special treatsie for that one.

AWWW Phred! I probably should have posted a warning - "graphic picture attached for those weak in the tummy."

[pitc9]

O...M....G.... that was NASTY!!!

By the feet, I think it's a mole also.

I worry about rodents all the time because if someone in the neighborhood were to put out rat poison to kills any rodents, they may make their way into my yard to die! I always worry about that!

Good girl Bella for not eating it sweetie!!
Next time, just leave it alone!!

[Daisy and Delilah]

It looks kinda like a baby squirrel to me but I'm not good at this guessing what animals are.

I can't help but smile Pam. Most people think Poodles are such delicate creatures that would never do such things. If they only knew!! Bella is one of the biggest reasons I love Poodles. She's such a well rounded girl!!

[Taz_Zoee]

I think it's a mole too. By the looks of the feet and the face.
Thank goodness Bella didn't eat it afterall.

[lizbud]

Oh my. It kinda looks like a baby opossum. Never saw a mole up close,
so I'm not sure what a small one whould look like.

[Rachel]

Ick, Ick, Ick

I looked!!! Knew I shouldn't, but I did. Pam, you get atta girl points for picking it up. Wonder if there are more where that one came from?

[Freedom]

Smiling here; the things our pets put us through, usually when they act like what they ARE by nature, not the furkids we consider them to be!

Bella, sounds like you had FUN with your treasure, but really dear, Momma gives you loads of GOOD stuff. I know, not as smelly and stinky but next time just roll in it OK? Mom can cope with that a whole lot better than worrying about your tummy!

Bless you Pam, I think I'd have had to close my eyes to remove it, would NEVER have been able to get a photo.

Mole, vole, mouse, possum, squirrel, what ever it is / was, Yuck, yuck, YUCK!

[anna_66]

Ick, Ick, Ick

I looked!!! Knew I shouldn't, but I did.

I'll second that Rachel!
I not only looked, but I made the picture bigger because I couldn't see it very well
Gross for sure, but GOOD BELLA! Pam she's much better than Roxey is when she has some type of rodent in her mouth.
Last time I caught here with a mouse I yelled for her to drop it, but she gulped it down right there in front of me

[MoonandBean]

Ick! whatever it is; it is very young...probably right out of a nest so she may end up with another one soon if she knows where the nest is.
