Of course, there could very easily have been something else, but I would have never thought twice about Trixie attacking a beetle if she saw one.
Whoa - I didn't know this about beetles and we have a ton of them in AZ and the gang loves to chase and eat them. I will have to be more careful in the future. Lordy nothing is safe anymore
