Mrs. Bird fed and let Fuzzy out this morning. She was intending to let me sleep a little later because I picked her brother up at the airport and got home late.
Anyway, she lets him out and then I hear her yelling at him. I throw on my robe and go out to see. Apparently, a rabbit made a nest inside the fence and Fuzzy found it.
So much for the baby rabbits.
Sigh, he is 13 going on 14 and he is still a hunter. He hadnt gotten any creatures in a little while.

(3,027 posts)We love our pets but they still act according to their nature many times.
Our dog (Barkley) we had when we lived in Chicago found a rabbit nest in the yard and got one bunny. Mrs. Bird told him to leave the bunnies alone as they were mommas bunnies. He did. He would go out in the morning and stare at the nest but he left it alone. That guy was smart as a whip. Fuzzy is sweet but not exactly the sharpest pencil in the box. We still love him though.

(19,401 posts)The code drives them to hunt and capture just for the sport of it all.
It seems to be pent up energy that is buried not too deep below the surface, then the hunt/kill instinct pops into the picture seemingly from nowhere.
Then the cute little kitty - becomes the ravenous blood thirsty tiger.
Little house cats watch big tigers have lunch.

Other videos talked about owning a Huskadore and various characteristics including a high prey drive.

(3,027 posts)He is the first dog we have had that is my dog. He loves Mrs. Bird but our son says I am Fuzzys hero.
Our first two dogs were Mrs. Birds dogs. They liked me but I was not Momma.
