This story is from Heidi who adoptded Janie from another rescue but she was boarding with us. Janie is a collie/chow/lab all black and absolutely gorgeous!
from Heidi:
Well David let Janey out at 4:30am when he got up and I guess she carried in a squirrel and deposited it beside my bed. Somehow I missed it when I got up in the morning. On my way past my room a few minutes later I see her squeeky squirrel (or so I thought) on the floor. Now it is 6:30 and I am tired so I’m looking and am about 12 inches away, bent over thinking “that looks bigger than I thought it ……AHHHHHHHHHHHHH”
I take the kids downstairs and find a piece of the tail at the bottom of the stairs. So we got dressed and skooted out for 4 hours but at some point I had to return. And when I did it was laying in the front hallway missing a leg. And there was blood on the floor, to which my 3 year old said “Now Janey put jam on the floor!”
So I put her outside and covered the squirrel with a garbage bag and called David telling him he needed to come home NOW. So he left work and drove back. In the mean time I shooed Janey upstairs and closed the baby gate.
When Dave got home he couldn’t find the squirrel and I was far too grossed out to help him search.
Turns out she somehow got it from the front hallway on her way up the stairs without me noticing and took it up to have a snack…. on my bed.
Needless to say David now has to ensure that there is no squirrel in Janey’s mouth in the morning before she comes in.
Cheeky dog!!
