YT 500 Club Member | Toby's roots run deep! I never sat any of my fur babies down and had a talk with them about their heritage. But I guess Toby didn't need me to, because he's a professional mouser all the same. Izzy and Maddie will go hunting on weekends sometime, but Toby is mousing full time. All of his attention is now spent next to or around the dog food bag, laying very very still and listening for any movement from the mice that have infiltrated the shop recently. But Toby isn't having it, no sir. He's got himself four so far. He stalks the air conditioning ducts like his life depends on it. He's tried like hell to get down the small holes in the ceiling ( mind you the loft is supposed to be just storage but I made a kick it spot up there) but Toby is a Teapot so he doesn't fit so easy. But yeah, he took to chasing and killing mice without ever being told that it was his ancestral duty. What a smart kid

| Good boy Toby. Toby sounds like my now passed girl Matese, she had a T-shirt that read "Born To Hunt" and that's who she was.

| I am honestly surprised at my girls lack of predatory instincts. So far, other than other dogs, I haven't seen these pups even look twice at the squirrels running around outside or really anything else...

| Cody is adopted, he came from NY, he was 2.5 when I adopted him in Nov. 2013 the first day he went into the back yard he was hunting, I had 3 girls all now passed, one had a fetish for chipmunks, one for mice and the other for squirrels. My last girl (#4) also now passed hunted any and everything, she was a mighty hunter, I think her spirit is in Cody. I can send Cody over, the post office has boxes "if it fits, it ships" to teach your girls how to rip your curtain rods out of your walls when they see a squirrel, and how to dig holes in the yard because "something" has to be beneath the earth lol. He can also teach them how to move bricks that surround a shed cos ALL little critters hang out there lol.
