My two girls think they are Bird dogs!!! Its Baby Bird season! And we have them dropping out of the trees like crazy!! They are all so close to being full grown!! They can fly low to the ground and are fully feathered... ugh!! But just not faster than two fierce Yorkie hunters!!!

Thankfully I have been right there to catch both of them at the moment they pinned their prey to the ground..... But I can't even tell you how silly I must have looked diving at them, my knees were all green! It was something!! I missed them like a dozen times! she'd get it, it would break free, the hunt would be on again! I would be trying to get up on my feet and here they would come.... I would dive! and nothing but elbows full of grass burn!! it was really sad... I am not as agile as I used to be! And all the while... we have momma bird diving at us and pecking at the dogs! Screaching, squawking, flapping... anything to try and save her baby! Poor thing!

Long story short.... Pixie finally Got a good hold on that baby bird...I pryed the bird out of Pixies mouth.... and let it go over the brick wall into the neighbors yard... I know that they don't have any dogs on that side... and its momma flew over to tend to it.... it was fine... nothing broken, just wet with drool... And exausted I'm sure!!!

Pixie, Paris, and Gizmo spent the next half and hour searching the bushes for another victim!! They were possessed! The thirst for Birdy blood was heavy in the air!!!! It was crazy!!! Pixie was the worst!!!! She had it in her mouth!!!! She was so close!!!! So close!!!!

Mom Takes all the fun away! Poor puppy.... poor birds! They don't stand a chance in my yard!!!
