Yoda here - Tika I found a dead mouse on my walk today!  But Mom was too sharp for once and wouldn't let me snarf it up.  Too bad.  Rodents are tasty.  I once caught one while on leash on a walk.  It was night time so all Mom knew was that all of a sudden I chomped and there was a loud SQUEAK! and then I swallowed. 

I also sometimes go rodent hunting at our closest dog park.  There are these open fields in the middle.  While I'm hunting though, Mom gets barked at sometimes because the other dogs at the park think she forgot to bring a dog with her.  But she likes to watch and see me pounce every now and then.  I don't tend to catch any rodents when I hunt at the park, but I do find between three and five tennis balls in the process.  Mom never has to bring her own.  Our opinions on which kinds of tennis balls are best are completely opposite though.  I like the broken, soggy ones, but she won't throw those for me, just hides them in her bag or tosses them in the garbage.  Humans are so lame sometimes.

I actually like the way my Mom's glowing metal thing smells.  Sometimes I'll lick the top corner and then start to put my teeth on it, but when Mom goes "Eh-eh!" - it's not worth it.

Good to hear from you!  In response to your "ROOOOOO-ROOOWOOOOR," I spread my yoda-ears and cock my head with interest. 

Ewwww! Caira has never actually eaten a snake or a lizard. Little lizards move into the rocks too fast. Thankfully, I've realized the snakes were there just as she was trying to grab them up! Her look is always amazing. I'm pretty sure each time she's come across one on a hike, she has thought it was a stick-then jumped back in amazement when her stick moved! Thankfully, the snakes have been a few years in the past. We rarely hike in the desert anymore!

I don't think I would like to have to remove a snake from my domicile. My sister has cats who drag in forest mice through the doggie door so they can eat them in comfort in front of the wood stove! Yuck! One day when I was visiting, there was a whole family of dead mice laid out for a feast! GROSS!

Tika,

My dad was looking at that darn computer thing and laughing and crying like he does a lot lately and then i saw your picture! Now I know why daddy states at this thing so much! ROW-ROOOOOOOOOOOOO! I wish I had a doggie friend like you! We could chase squirrels together and all kinds of other crawly and smelly things and cause trouble all around the house - dad would love it!

I think a password protected boudoir picture is so appropriate!

You are pretty funny for a bat!

And who knew Jerry had such talent?! Is there malamute buried deep within? (note to Gerry: don't be surprised if Dakota cries or whines  more than many dogs. A few vets have told me how vocal malamutes are just by being at the clinic, not always as a sign of pain.)
