Hi everyone, I woke up this morning, walked into my family room, & there in the middle of the room on the rug was a half eaten mouse :vomit: The head had been eaten off & only the back legs & tail where left. :vomit::vomit: Lucky my hubby was home to dispose of it.

We have had quite a few mice in the house in the last month of so & my Aussies have been doing a fantastic job at hunting them & killing them for us, but this is the first time I've ever seen one eaten, they usually just kill it quick & leave the body. Yuck! Yuck! Yuck! :laugh:

Don't you just love terriers, you would think I never fed them & they where starving. :rolleyes: :laugh:

Be glad you don't have sibes.

Came out into the backyard one morning to find Mr Zero with 2 half eaten POSSUMS! All that was left were the heads, back legs and tails.

Not the first time he's done it either. He will climb a tree to get a possum.

Oh yuck...that would give me a shock, :eek: You just have to love all high prey drive breeds.

Kirah's adept at catching Indian Mynas and eating them. All she leaves are piles of feathers -- but I'm sure Zeus helps her out too.

The other day she bailed up a baby blue tongue lizard and wasn't happy when I placed it in the front garden where she can't get at!!

Poochie was a fantastic ratter though and left many presents on our laundry door. Kirah does try and get at my friend's pet rats though!! :laugh:

My furniture is not appreciating the fact that ALL THREE rotties a bloody good mousers :rolleyes: Their heads, let alone their bodies, do not fit in mouse spaces. But they do not let that stop them :eek:

We currently have mice, due to building activity around us, so the dogs are very alert to every squeak and rustle. I am using those grey plastic traps, so I have to bolt everytime I hear the traps go off to get there before the dogs. However, their hearing is way better than mine, and they sometimes beat me. All I can say is thank gawd for the :give: command ;)

:laugh: We are NOT alone then!

My sons ACD x Kelpie is basically rabid about catching mice - and the bloody dog has even learnt how to spell! :laugh: She caught on really fast and the furniture, like grumpettes dogs, are irrelevant - she'll shove it aside, in order to get the m-o-u-s-e. :laugh:

When I SEE her swallow one, I get the heaves too. :vomit: She does not always eat them and ya, sometimes there is just half of it left. Brrrrrrrrr

:o that sight is fairly common here after the cats catch mice .... What good little dogs you have :)

I agree persephone that they are good little dogs, & I appreciate all the hard work they do with helping with the mouse problem in the house (better than laying mouse traps everywhere ) but I just found it a little sickening seeing a half eaten one in the middle of the room so early in the morining before breakfast. :laugh:

Sounds like Kirah is already a good little hunter R-A.

Your post reminds me of the time when we first moved here. We had a beautiful Rosella accidently fly into the house via a chimmney that Bailey immediantly pounced on & Killed. :( He then tried to eat it & then ran away from me when I tried to take it off him. I finally got it off him in the end, but you should have seen the amount of feathers all over the house. I actually had a little cry for the beautiful bird while vacumning up all the feathers. :cry:

I got my OH to put some mesh over the chimmney so it won't happen again.

7 dogs and not one mouser between them. Kelpies when they were younger actually walked around a rat sitting in the back yard, and the one that 'caught' a bird using their front paws released it so it could stalk it again!!

We have caught 15 mice in the past week and a half and have actually had one run in front of the dogs and they didn't care!!!!

I have had half skinks bought in by the Lappie- the last straw was when she deposited it on my pillow :vomit: She got told off for that one!
