Squirrel Parts

[Dogrunner]

I went home for lunch yesterday and found squirrel parts scattered everywhere. There are several options:

1. The squirrel wandered (accidently or with the intent of committing suicide) into the house via the 2 dog doors, and either woke up the cat, who then killed it, or got snatched by Shaker, who immediately squeaked it to death.

2. OR Shaker couldn't get comfortable enough on couch to nap so she wandered outside and caught the squirrel. Of course, after breaking it's squeaker (by squeaking it to death), she brought it into the kitchen so she could give it to me to fix when I got home. Except for Shaker going outside during the day of her own free will, I favor this option because she has caught rats, broken them, and brought them to me to "fix" before.

After that, it's very clear that Berr and the maltese played tug of war with it. They love playing tug of war with their fuzzy toys and what's fuzzier than a squirrel? At some point, Berr realized that this particular game was probably on my "NO" list, because when I came in, he slunk under the kitchen table and tried to look small.

You would not believe how long a squirrel's intestines are.......

Aye I think that cleaning up job would be reserved for a teenager who's on my poop list at that point in time...or hubby.

oh, my, gosh! this was in your kitchen??? I gotta say that gives our favorite run in the woods phrase "go get the squirrel" a whole new meaning!

The guilty party, eating our plants!

the kitchen, the living room, the hallway.........I found the head in the bathroom..........most of the blood (thankfully) was in the kitchen.

Not a bit on the dogs!

I am trying to imagine your thoughts when you came home to find that mess!I'll bet you had some really scary, crazy ones and then felt better (kind of) that it wasn't any of your own pets! I came home to doggie diarrhea today and wasn't a happy camper, but I think I got the better of the two options! My 2 will chase them constantly and one caught a squirrel once, lost it, and got it again only to have it get away, boy was I glad because I had no idea what she'd do with it.........I guess now I know..........yuck! And how sad, too! :eek:

I had to come back and read your post again... I just cant imagine...

I freaked out when I found a dead mouse (intact) on the stairs... I just dont think Id have handled this squirrel incident so well... We may have had to move!

Just read this thread and it reminded me of a story my mom told me last week. They are taking care of my Grandma's old, tiny Chiuahua. It was out in the yard. A squirrel was in the corner of the yard, and decided to run up a pine tree. It ran across the yard and had a head on collision with the chiuahua. Squirrel and dog went flying. Squirrel recovers and runs up another tree, dog staggers around for a few moments until Dad can get to her. She was so shaken that she couldn't make it up the front porch steps...she's ok now but there was nearly a teeny Chiuahua heart attack.... doggiex1

Cypress, aside from the fact that the dog was shaken up, and thankfully not hurt, I would like to see that on video!I wonder if that will change the dog's opinion of squirrels or just make him want to get one even more than before!

[Dogrunner]

Cypress, that is toooo funny :roll2 I would have loved to see it (since no one was hurt!)!
