Pepsi killed a mouse :(

Pepsi has been rummaging around where I keep the plant pots, behind the greenhouse all day.
Then she went quiet and came back in doors. Not long after we realised there was a dead mouse on the path
Not a lot I can do really, it's in her nature isn't to hunt out little furry things.
I don't really want to keep her in just because I've got a garden full of kamakasi field mice. Not nice though

Oh Jenny...... Pepsi was only doing what comes naturally to her....

Hugs honey xx

Poor little mouse, but like you and Vicki say, it's her nature. Max went through a spate of killing mice. We would be walking along, he would spin round, grab one that I'd not even noticed and kill it. It was quite impressive hunting skills but I did feel sorry for the mice. He got 3 in one week, all on different walks.

Bless her, I bet she was really pleased with herself! There isn't much you can do about it.

Really pleased I didn't actually see the deed.
I wonder if she has been used for ratting or something, she has one hell of a prey drive.
Now that she has caught it and disposed of it she has lost all interest and is fast asleep in the living room.

She's a terrier and will have a higher prey drive than most breeds, although to be honest my poodles have killed far more than my terriers ever did!
I wouldn't worry about it, it's what dogs do, and most dogs would given the chance whether they are long time companion bred breed or a working one.

Norty! Its illegal to use dogs to kill Mice!! Are you sure it wasnt a young rat?

Surely as she only has the one dog then it is not deemed 'hunting'?
Becky

Twas said tongue in cheek.

Can't say that I am terribly worried by it. It's what happens. Just not a nice thought, even though I know it is what Terriers do.

Dawn don't say R.A.T. I don't want rats in the garden
