Muskrats are as big as the largest rat, I think! I just seems that all of us who own male (or tough female) Yorkies have to be alert 24-7!
Talk about the "Little Big Man" Syndrome, they'll take on anything! And, the really scary part is they have hardly any fat on them so all it takes is one bite, one tooth, to puncture a vital organ: liver, spleen, intestine or the like!
The other week I was flipping channels and a channel came on where instantly a giant dog broke loose and lunged (at a mailman)! Little mama, Mini, flew off the sofa, around the corner and down the hall and under my dresser! At the same moment Chipper let out a growl/bark/scream and leaped at the dog in the T.V., he was going to fight! I changed channels! Later I saw it was the "Dumb or Dumber" movie ~ and with a television watching Yorkie (Chipper) we have to be careful what we watch, he loves the Animal Channel as long as they are not showing dogs. lol
I want to thank everyone for their care and concern, but mostly I want to warn everyone to be careful and watch their little giants!
