ACK! Bella just ate a mouse!

[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.

[boomersooner]

Yes, Pam, you are a lot braver than I am! In her younger days, Cassie caught a bird in mid air...I went over there, and she started munching on it as fast as she could munch....I just decided I wasn't going to fight her for it!! Needless to say, she didn't get to give me any pupper kisses for a couple of days!!! I agree with everyone else....I looked at the picture, and it didn't look like a mouse, either...my first thought was baby squirrel, but then again, I'm a city girl so I don't know much about moles and such.

[Husky_mom]

Oh Bella!!.... what a scare you gave mommy.... glad you listened....

Pam... I googled and think it is a mole too but perhaps a naked one...

[K9karen]

You have a Natural Born Killer too, huh?
Gawd, Pam, that was GROSS..but I did have a gaper delay moment 'cause I actually stuck my eyeballs to the screen to try to ID it..YUK... GAG, BLAH.

Mz Klo is proud of her girlfriend....."see? It's NOT just me"

Logan eats outside in nice weather while I sit and read the paper. The other day, I came out with her bowls and she's having a grand old time swatting and pawing and tossing "sumtin" up in the air. However, the "sumtin" was squealing it's head off. Since "Drop It" ain't gonna work when she's in the throes of ecstacy. I called her to eat and , she dropped her "toy" and ran to the patio to eat.

Clever hooman that I am , I skiddadle down our slope to the lawn to try to rescue the poor critter. All I hear is squealing. I knew it was a mole. Can't find it and my tummy is turning. The sound was horrific. Logan gulped her food (unusual) ran to me and instantly sniffed and found the mole. It was still alive but in bad shape, so I quickly got a piece of cardboard and a stick, threw Logan a treat (it worked) and carried the gasping, little arms pawing mole to the back fence (where the nasty dogs couldn't get it), but it went to mole heaven before I got there.

So that's Mz princess Mole, Groundhog catcher's story and we're stickin' to it. Ours (I mean HERS) was hairy. Looks like Bella's was a baby. But, what does it matter? YUK YUK YUK.
No kisses for Mz Klo that night! *Shivers at the memory"

At least I had decent clothes on!!!
