Wow, Cookie with two kills within the hour - YorkieTalk.com Forums

First she caught a bird and just now she caught a lizard and bit the tail off. Craziest thing I have seen, as the tail was still shaking around and moving on the ground for more than a minute after she bit it off. The lizard was just running in tight circles after losing its tail.

yahhh Cookie, mighty hunter. If it moves it's mine lol.

Poor lizard was still running in circles after I got Cook in her crate. I tried to chase it off twice and it ran in circles away from me and then back, so I put it out of its misery with a big rock. Seems more humane than letting it die in the Sun.

Lizards don't die if they lose their tails. But eeewwww to the whole episode with the lizard. Yucky!!

I don't know, this one was completely incapable of running away. I tried to give it many chances to get away and it couldn't. It wasn't even running away when Cookie was there attacking the severed tail. It just kept running in circles, not trying to make any escape.

Wow those are quite the visuals. I love lizards. Sorry to hear it had to die

We had a nest of robbins leave this last week. Moka doesn't bother them. Mylee will chase them, but she doesn't hurt them once she catches up to them. So I scooped them up and put them the back yard of the vacant house behind me. They're safe there. I know dogs will be dogs, but not if I'm around.

I am such a whuss when it comes to lizards. The sight of the tail wiggling would be enough to make me scream. lol My cat would bring in lizards and leave them for me and I would throw a towel over them and go get the neighbor man to get it out of my house. I really don't like them or worms either.

We had a beagle who used to chase lizards. We could tell she was aging by the length of the tails of the lizards running in and around the lannai. The older Peaches got the slower she got so the lizard tails were longer

Cuddles Cookie · 06-20-2014, 11:52 AM

My Cookie did the same thing yesterday but a mouse! She brought it in the and I didn't know! LOL

Cookie getting pretty good at this. I just saw her catch a bird and bite its head off.

valeriejsmyth · 06-28-2014, 11:23 AM

Yeah, yorkies love to catch lizards. My two used to tag team the lizards. The older female would put her foot down and hold them while my male would pick them up with his mouth and shake them. They always lost a tail of course, I don't think we had any lizards that had full tails if they were lucky enough to get away. LOL
