Score

Roxie bagged another critter........ a hapless chipmunk ran too slowly. So far this year, she's gotten 2 possums, 1 blackbird and 1 chipmunk.

Photo of chipmunk will not be forthcoming, for obvious reasons. Rox learned from the blackbird hit and this time she hid under the bushes so Bob couldn't confiscate her prize.

The old "steak bits" strategy proved successful, however, and Bob was able to get the munged-on critter dropped on the porch in exchange for a treat.

I bet next time she'll remember the treat trick and we'll have to come up with something new. She adapts each time.....

She was very proud of herself. And of course, I get the phone call while I'm out running errands, "Hey Mom, she got another one!" Bob is so proud of his little hunter.

She had chipmunk breath for two days. Ick......

She must be pretty quick to catch a chipmunk! Quite a hunter!
