Our Newfound Hunting Dog

Izzy likes to chase birds in the backyard and when we were camping she would have chased the squirrels if we would have let her. So far I thought all Izzy wanted to do was play with the creatures because she is such a playful puppy. Tonight I found out she wasn’t interested in playing with the birds in the backyard, but instead she wanted to hunt them for food. I got home from work to get the grizzly details from Andy. I guess she ran after a bird and pounced on it when Andy yelled at her. Then the bird made its way from the grass to the dirt and gravel. Izzy ran after the bird and swooped down to pick it up in her mouth. Andy yelled and ran toward Izzy to get the bird out of her mouth. By the time he got there Izzy had already swallowed the bird. This is completely disgusting! All I wanted to do was let Izzy know this is not how ladies act. Poor birdie, it had no chance against my newfound hunting dog. I am just glad I was not here to see that because I would not have been happy with my princess Izzy. I am sure she was very proud of herself that she finally caught one of the birds that her mommy thought she just wanted to play with. On top of that, for desert she ended up in the litter box for a smorsel of turd. I have been good about keeping the litter box clean or keeping the gate up on the bedroom door so the dogs can’t get to the cat poop. I took the gate down for a minute, but then I forgot to put it back up and Izzy found her way to the littler box for desert. I guess you would think that we don’t feed our animals, but that is definitely not the case at all. All of our animals are completely fed and they get plenty of treats. Now, we are just anticipating the exit of the bird from Izzy’s stomach.
