ACK! Bella just ate a mouse!

Thank you for trying to help me figure out what this critter was! I am thinking probably a mole, especially based on the picture that Husky_Mom posted. We do have opossums back in the woods so I hadn't really ruled that out either. Bella is certainly no angel. She has gotten into trouble like this before. Here are two pictures that I posted a few years ago when she got a large bird. It sort of looked like a dove. I was able to get it away from her by offering a treat.


She did eat a very young bird once right in front of me. Not that I like her eating birds, but the thought of her eating a rodent just gags me. Thank goodness she didn't. For those of you who thought I was brave to scoop it up - well, you have to do what you have to do. I couldn't risk her deciding it might be a tasty treat after all.

Yup, it is a newborn mole baby Rip little guy...

I am glad Bella did not eat it!

Look around your shed when you can, there are more than likely others. Hope she does not get them too.

If Joey did that, I dont know what I would do. Probably faint on the spot.

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!!

^^That could be me. I didn't know a poodle would do something like that.^^

Bella, YAY for you for obeying your mom's instruction to drop it! Were you following a poodle instinct to catch the critter?
