Things my dogs have killed
Jewels the mighty huntress poses with a less then lively Chipmunk (look into her beard). This photo was taken a couple years ago. Today while out scooping the front yard I had to pick up the remains of an unfortunate Garter Snake. My dogs are death on Garter Snakes, which I find sad as snakes eat mice and we hate mice!
Below is a list of Canadian Wildlife that my dogs have killed over the years...I am sure I am missing a few...
Garter Snakes, many, many, MANY Garter Snakes
Toads, which make the dogs froth at the mouth and drool but they persevere
Voles
Lovely little Red Squirrel
Frogs, they don't make the dogs froth and drool and are much more fun to chase.
Flying Squirrel, sadly this was one of the first things Madie killed when we moved to the country.
Rat...or was it a....
...Muskrat...a litter of 7 week old pups destroyed it beyond recognition before we could verify what the beast was.
Mice
Cottontail Rabbits
Lots of summer fledglings
Chipmunks, I think the Schnauzers cull out the dumb, slow ones
A beautiful winter Cardinal, I believe the second critter Madie killed when we moved to the country
Bullfrogs
