Last night I took the dogs out for their final run of the night and run they did! Sure makes your heart sing to watch my 3 flat out -- the 2 big dogs are low to the ground flying blurs. Devyn keeps up remarkably well, but those long ears of his flapping wildly in the breeze just slow him down! Down to the barn they streak and head back behind the woodpile. I'm grinning at their athletic display when I hear a weird scream that is suddenly cut off.
"AERYN DROP IT" I yell. Too late as she comes proudly carrying something in her mouth, Rowyn & Devyn in hot pursuit. When I catch up to them, they're all standing in a circle looking down at the prize. Poor rabbit lying there panting. I pick it up by the scruff and hurry into some light to assess it's injuries, my audience excitedly following. It's pretty apparent that the bunny's injuries are terminal (air leaking out of it's chest and bleeding from the abdomen), so I rush it up to the house to euthanize it. I sure do love my new fence for keeping the dogs in, I just didn't envision it would be death to bunnies. Aeryn needs to take up a new hobby. sue(Aeryn the mighty hunter, with Devyn & Rowyn the cheering section)
