That's right! We can dress them up and pamper them all we like but at the core of them is a workingclass man's terrier - a ratter.

Ewwwww! I woulda been screaming too!! Jackson would most certainly kill one. He has killed a bird before that he got on our screened in porch in mid-air and I freaked over that... luckily, I think the bird died of pure shock (poor thing) or maybe a broken neck because he dropped it when I screamed. But with a rat, I am not sure he would resist such temptation.

YUCK! Taycie is too pretty to be killing rodents!!

Levi would've gone for the kill as well. The only things he's caught are lizards and frogs and I absolutely FREAK every time because those things carry poison! He'd love a rat. He sees chipmunks and rabbits here and is always trying to catch them.

oliver44 · 10-24-2011, 03:15 PM

that rat dosen't look small too me, i would have called 911, lol

yorkieusa · 10-24-2011, 03:42 PM

Taycie, I would never have guessed that you would do such a thing!

manina · 10-24-2011, 06:04 PM

Not thing is off limit for my Miley, If u walk , jump , fly, ran she will go after you. I had a lot of field mice in Il and in a month or so she got them all out of our/her yard. But here in florida she keeps catching frogs and more than once she eats them , before I get to her to drop them she looks at me and locks her teeth , I can't get them out on time.
She than has the runs for a day or two, I call the vet she says , Miley is a pig lol !!!

Kacee watched one run right by us in the garage one day and looked up at me as if to say, "Mom, what was that?"

shodanusmc · 10-25-2011, 06:35 AM

Congrats. I would be pretty darn proud of her! She now deserves a day at the spa.

chattiesmom · 10-25-2011, 06:41 AM

Congratulations on a job well done, Taycie!

Teresa Ford · 10-25-2011, 07:12 AM

I know Ewww.... Rubin has killed several voles/ moles ? not sure what they are.
Ginny Joy is constantly digging up worms and bugs. Thank goodness, she doesn't bing them in the house to be bragged about, like Rubin does when he kills something. Yes I brush his teeth and wash his face and pretend it never happens. Once Lily the Lab killed a black snake and brought it to me. Nasty, NOT a gift I wanted ! UCK

LuvTaycieGirl · 10-25-2011, 07:46 AM

I guess I should be mighty proud but the ewww factor is still getting to me...

hahahahaha~I love this!! It's so true~no matter how many 'bows & outfits' they still have those instincts!!http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/ima...elrotflmao.gif

I would've definitly screamed too~that was one big rat!!http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif

LunasMomma · 10-25-2011, 09:01 AM

Go Taycie

!!!! She's a tough girl in a pretty package

Glad you cleaned her up, who knows what kind of germies that thing had. It's HUGE

Good job girl!!!!

southernbelle04 · 10-25-2011, 09:46 PM

Tee hee! I would be freaking out! I am terrified of mice, rats, etc!

Sandysbabies · 10-26-2011, 02:45 AM

Ohhhhh my gosh, I would have died right there. There is no way I could get Kayla to drop anything. The more you scream the better she likes it. Lexi could care less and last night we heard Dudley doing his little yep yep and he was barking at a fly. THe fly was probably wondering, what in the heck is that. I can't stand to be around anything dead or dying like that. Glad you brushed her teeth too. lol!!!!
