We've been in this house for years and before we moved in it was the families house for longer than I know. Forever to me. No dead bodies in the backyard. We'll one cat, but that was a long time ago and he's not digging anywhere near there. lol But what do you guys mean when you say he smells something and be careful? |
We have a mini schnauzer as well as our new baby, Kipper (3 1/2 mo old Yorkie) who would dig like crazy and one day he uncovered a rat's nest with about 20 babies! He killed them all. I suppose that it might be possible that whatever may be in that hole could bite or otherwise harm your little fellow, but our dog was never hurt because he was just too fast. I would rather not take that chance, if I knew what could be down there. To this day, if we tell Buddy (the schnauzer) to "get the rat!" he will usually find them and kill them without hesitation. We were pretty scared when we brought home Kipper because he was so tiny, we were afraid that Buddy would think he was a rat, too! We were careful to not even say the word and Buddy and Kipper play sweetly together, even though Buddy is 8 years old and Kipper is only 3 1/2 months old. We never leave them alone, however. I wouldn't want Buddy to get too rough and end up hurting Kipper and I don't want Kipper to be allowed to annoy Buddy unreasonably.
