Sadie the cricket hunter Okay this is the cutest story...the other day i was looking at Sadie and she had something in her mouth, i saw a black leggy on the floor and she had the body of a cricket in her mouth and i took it out and wanted to say leave it, but also praise her for the awesome catch...so i praised her a little after saying leave it and taking it away.
tonight she was just sitting on the couch being really good and she started to bark that bark they do when they hear or see something that they want to warn you about or that they have just locked into. i kept wondering what she was hearing because Mike wasn't home yet...so i looked in the direction she was and there was a huge cricket on the floor hopping. i told her "go get it" and she finally jumped down from the couch and went after it. she then looked at me because it went behind the blankets so i lifted them up and it hopping into the hallway and i picked her up and we rushed into the office where the thing went and she ran to it and got it stopped by her mouth. i took it away right then and flushed it, but i was so proud of my little cricket hunting doggie!!
in all the proudness i mistook her poopy dance for a sniffing for crickets dance and she totally just pooped on the floor but i caught her mid squat and took her outside, needless to say catching a yorkie mid poop always leaves something nice on the floor a few inches from where you catch them and scoop them up... EWWWWW. but anyways at least i caught her in the act again and she's learning.
thought you'd like my stories of her cricket hunting adventures.
